Abstract

This article explains that Ibn ‘Arabī professed the transcendent unity of religions which is shown by the data on unity of essence, unity of the divinity, unity of source or origin of the path, unity of source of the scriptures, unity of purpose of worship, and the Religion of Love. This study finding shows in a strong way that the unity of religions lies in the transcendent or esoteric territory, i.e. it goes beyond formal religious forms such as religious law, sharī‘ah, doctrine and ritual. On the historical forms of religion there are many differences and even conflicts one each other. Though different in form, these differences among religions are not absolute, independent and separate, but bounded by a single entity, i.e. both from God Almighty, and will culminate in Him as well. However, on the historical form Ibn ‘Arabī claimed the perfection of Islam, and simoultaneusly criticized the religion and non-Islamic beliefs. This last fact has been ignored by the scholars, both Islam and the West, who believe the theory of the transcendent unity of religions.

Abstract

This article elucidates a paradigm embedded in the memory of Indonesian Muslims about “Jewish conspiracies” or “the Protocols of the Elders of Zion” who want to rule the world. This paradigm became known as “Conspiracy theory”. First, this article will describe the views of Umberto Eco, a novelist, semioticist, and medieval European historian. Second, tracing books about the Jewish conspiracy that circulated among Muslims. Third, confronting conspiracy theories with facts and my subjective opinions. In the study of political sociology, conspiracy theory is a closed system that is unfalsifiable, and therefore “a matter of faith rather than proof”.It is hard to find solid evidence. Instead of preserving this absurd paradigm of conspiracy theory, Muslims should focus on developing the quality of their human resources. The human history has proven that superior nations who dominating the world are those who capable in managing human resources, regardless of their race, nation and religion.
