Abstract

Masyumi's name and symbol have an enduring appeal, particulary to modernist Muslims. Althougt the party was disbanded in 1960, Muslims intellectuals, activitis and politiciants continue to invoke its name and identify themselves as being part of the Masyumi heritage. For example, no less than four parties at the 1999 general elections used symbols based on Masyumi's bulan bintang (crecent moon and star) logo and they jostled among themselves for recognation as the party most representative of Masyumi values and tradition. Many of these modernist felt bound by an associative spirit to the masyumi 'family', which was commonly referred to as the Keluarga Bulan Bintang (Crescent Moon and Star Family).DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v12i1.646

Abstract

One of the fulcrums of change in political Islam is the relationship between traditional patterns of Islamic politics, which focus upon the pursuit and wielding of formal power, particularly with the aim of enacting of shari’a law, and the more recent emergence of dynamic social spheres of Islamic activism, which emphasise values and moral order and operate with considerable autonomy from Islamic parties. This article explores the nature of the interactions between political and social activism and identifies the ways in which more established form of political Islam are changing as a result of pressure from the social realm.  It compares case studies from the Middle East and Southeast Asia, paying particular attention to Muslim Brotherhood and Salafist expressions of social and political activism in both regions.  It argues that burgeoning pietistic social activism presents both challenges and opportunities to Islamic political actors, and that failure to engage with these new forces will lead to further marginalisation and the risk of declining relevance.
