Abstract

This article discusses the relationship between Islam and nationalism in Indonesia, highlighting the important role of Islam in maintaining the integrity of the Republic of Indonesia through the spirit of nationalism. The combined power of religion and nationalism is a strong foundation to unite a diverse nation. This struggle does not only come from nationalists, but also from religious figures, one of whom is KH Maimun Zubair. He often voiced the importance of the national spirit in his lectures, in line with his work in politics through the United Development Party (PPP). This research uses the literature method with an analytical descriptive approach and the sociology of knowledge as an analytical tool. The main focus is the tafsir Safinah Kalla Saya'lamun Fi Tafsir Syaikhina Maimun, by his student Ismail al-Ashcholy, which summarizes the study of Tafsir al-Jalalain. KH Maimun Zubair asserts that nationalism is formed through the bonds of long residence, ethnic mixing, and migration, reflecting the principle of unity without discrimination, as taught since the time of the Prophet. According to him, all humans are equal in the eyes of Allah, and the only difference is the level of piety.

Abstract

This article discusses the maqasid behind the “flexing” verses, as these five verses do not explicitly prohibit flexing as a promotional strategy. Meanwhile, in the present day, the proliferation of flexing content on social media serves as a promotional strategy to generate income. This issue is significant for reinterpreting the flexing verses so that they can address contemporary challenges and be considered in all aspects. Therefore, maqasidi exegesis is employed as an analytical tool to uncover the maqasid of the flexing verses and to identify the benefits and harms of flexing content on social media. Findings from this study: Flexing, taken literally, does not merely mention the prohibition of flexing during prayer and charity but encompasses all activities (both ritual and non-ritual acts of worship). Meanwhile, the maqasid behind the prohibition of flexing are to protect the religion (from hypocrisy, disbelief, and polytheism) and to protect the soul (from showing off, arrogance, and seeking fame). Based on an assessment of the benefits and harms of flexing content on social media, flexing as a promotional strategy is not permitted because it tends to be harmful to both oneself and others.
