Queries include how to differentiate either the concept of Islam in Indonesia or Indonesian Islam, the construction of Indonesian Islam and lesson learned from the concept of Indonesian Islam. The study shows that the social and cultural modality served as the ultimate strength of Indonesian Islam. This includes religion and its connection with socio-cultural adaptation. The socio-cultural process bears some significant cultural aspects of literature, local songs, i.e., tembang, and architecture, i.e. joglo. Those cultural instances signified the adaptation agencies among Muslims in Indonesian context. In general, the notion between religion and its adaptation also occurred for some Muslims in the global context and experience.Key words: Identity, Indonesia, Islam, Cultural, Adaptation
