This article critically examines the epistemology of Islam Nusantara studies from an insider perspective. This study is important considering the development of Islamic studies in Indonesia which is increasingly dynamic but often faces epistemological problems in understanding and interpreting Islam in the context of locality. Through a qualitative approach with the method of content analysis and literature study, this research reveals various epistemological challenges faced by insider researchers in studying Islam Nusantara, such as cultural bias, research objectivity, and the dialectic between Islamic universality and cultural locality. The results show that methodological reconstruction is needed in the study of local Islam that considers the complexity of the relationship between normative Islam and the socio-cultural reality of the archipelago, as well as the importance of developing a more integrative and contextual epistemological framework.
