Indonesia nature of moderation has its own type of orthodoxy, consist of three aspect; theology
of asyariyah-jabariyah, shafii in fiqh, and al ghazali tashawwuf. These three aspects of
orthodoxy have been formed since 17-18 century thanks to the work of well known scholar in

Palembani, and so on.

Arabian Islam which consist only with 2 aspects: theology of Salafi-Wahabi, and Hanbali fiqh,
whereas tashawwuf does not have place in Saudi because for them-which said by its scholar- its
full of bida and khurafat.
