Abstract

The issue of Islam and human rights has become important issue in Indonesia at least since the last two decades. Indonesian Muslims have developed two different approaches to human rights: in complete agreement with the declaration of universal human rights; and in resistance to that declaration and developing understanding that Islam encompasses human rights values. The article argues for its part that human rights are not absolutely universal, because they are based chiefly on Western values, structures, ethics and morality. For that, it is reasonable to question their universality. The present article focuses on how Indonesian Muslim intellectuals conceive of human rights and Islamic values as they perceive the two. Specifically, it focuses on four principal issues in human rights discourse: freedom of opinion, religious freedoms, rights of women, and criminal law. The authors reveal in the conclusion that although some Indonesian Muslim intellectuals admit that universal human rights are truly universal, they still see differences in certain cases, due to differences in socio-cultural background. They have tried to affect a synthesis between the universality and particularity of both Islamic and universal human rights in order to make both fit within the Indonesian context.

Abstract

Makalah ini membahas pemikiran para sufi mengenai terminology qurbā (kedekatan) dalam kaitannya dengan wacana walāya (ke-wali-an). Dalam literatur sufi kata-kala qurbā sering dihubunglan dengan ide mengenai cinta  (maḥabba), rindu (shauq), dan keintiman (uzs). secara spesifik makalah ini mengangkat pemikiran tiga orang sufi besar, yaitu al-Tirmidhi (w. 905), al-Niffari (w. 965) dan Ibn al-'Arabi (w.1240). Al-Tirmidhī setelah membedakan dua jenis wali; wali haqq Allah dan wali Allah, mengatakan bahwa tahapan tertinggi yang dapat dicapai oleh seorang wali haqq Allah adalah maqam yang disebut maḥall al-qurbā tempat kedekatan. Pada posisi tersebut seorang wali dapat menerima pancaran nur al- qurbā dari Allah, sehingga ia tetap dapat mengontrol hawa nafsunya. Al-Niffari menghubungkan pendapatnya mengenai ide qurbā ini dengan fase-fase pemberhentian (mawāqib) yang ia lalui sebagai seorang sufi. Menurutnya mawāqib qurbā ada pada urutan kedua, dan hanya dapat dicapai oleh mereka yang selalu menjauhkan diri dari godaan dunia (zuhd). Sedangkan Ibn al-'Arabi, pemikiran mengenai qurbā ini tidak dapat dipisahkan dengan walāya (kewalian) dan nubuwwa (kenabian). Maqām qurbā menurutnya terletak di antara kedudukan para nabi pembawa shari'at (nubuwwat al-tashri') dan para pembenar nabi yang pernah iman (ṣiddiqiya). Di tempat kedekatan ini (maḥall al-qurbā), seseorang dapat bertemu secara langsung dengan malaikat yang suci.
