Abstract
Until now Muhammadiyah is considered by many to have distinctive characteristics. This organization succeeded in integrating the purification and the dynamic (renewal) movements which later Muhammadiyah is positioned as a moderate Islamic movement. This position is considered as the most suitable one by the leaders of reformation in understanding the teachings of Islam as it should be, as well as understood and practiced by the Prophet of Muhammad saw. and friends in Medina to achieve the glory of Islam as "civil society". Such achievement certainly starts from the implementation of the concept of understanding the true religion taught in Muhammadiyah educational institutions that combine verses of qauliyah (the Quran and as-Sunnah) and kauniyah (natural science) at the same time. Thus, Muhammadiyah must continue to move to respond to all the problems of peoples lives by continuing to stand on the morality values of the al Quran and al-Sunnah through its educational movement towards civil society.
