Thus, the relationship between religious and non-religious knowledge is more stressful. Consequently, many scholars have attempted to reconcile. Firstly, some scholars try to describe that religious knowledge and scientific knowledge have their sections. Secondly, some other scholars attempt to reconcile and form a middle road between religious and scientific knowledge. Amin Abdullah has been included in this front.

Indonesia is a state which has many Islamic Boarding Schools—as known Pondok pesantren. Those guided us that Indonesia had built a sensational relationship with Islam. Earlier, before Islam became a majority religion, we knew that Buddha and Hinduism before had become majority religions.

Therefore, many people have seen Islamic doctrine or knowledge superior to something else.
