Abstract

Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) as places where Islamic scientific discourse is studied and discussed have become important actors in the study of fiqh. This study has also become one of the things that is often discussed and debated in Islam because fiqh is dynamic compared to other studies. Meanwhile, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) as one of the largest Islamic mass organizations in Indonesia also has a breakthrough in matters of fiqh, namely proposing civilizational fiqh (fikih peradaban) in response to various global problems. In this case, civilizational fiqh also seeks to find solutions to overcome humanitarian crisis problems, especially those related to conflict and its impacts. This article attempts to show the strategic patterns, contributions, and challenges of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in viewing and studying civilizational fiqh in the context of a humanitarian crisis. The theory used in this research is the theory of religious authority. This research is based on library research by examining various relevant literature, both in the form of books, journal articles, research reports, and other related sources needed in this research. Next, the data obtained was analyzed by interpreting the sources obtained and narrated in descriptive form. The results of this research show that Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) has made an important contribution to reforming civilizational fiqh in Indonesia. Apart from that, fiqh can answer various problems of religious practice in society, such as the humanitarian crisis in the world like Palestine-Israel conflict, Rohingya refugees, and many others conflict cases that mediated by NU.

Abstract

Despite the image of traditional-moderate Islam in Indonesia, a religious-conservatism group such as Islamic Defenders Front (Front Pembela Islam or FPI) had colored Islamic activism and populism in Indonesia in the last two decades. This group is indeed notoriously full of controversy because of harsh approaches and having a political mission, notably during the 2017 Jakarta gubernatorial election. The series of violent approaches and opposing Pancasila ideology then lead to the disbandment of FPI at the end of 2020 through a joint ministerial decision that brought several consequences, particularly in public perception. On the one hand, some might assume that public security, peace, and tranquillity have been achieved by violence-based group, but on the other hand, some might argue that this dissolution has received public sympathy as the government seems to be more authoritative and FPI bravely keep opposing and channeling public disappointment. Afterward, in early January 2021 with a new name, Islamic Brotherhood Front (Front Persaudaraan Islam or Neo-FPI) was reborn. This study aimed at exploring how Neo-FPI responds and transforms after being dissolved constitutionally by the government and to what extent this rebirth is accepted by the Muslim community. Through Sidney Tarrow’s social movement theory, this research will assess Neo-FPI as a discourse of Islamic activism and populism through library research and will interview the group’s members. The result of the study shows that the Neo-FPI might try to attempt on humanistic approach and moderation within the religious movement. However, substantially this group will not be different from the old version like an apple that falls not far from the tree. In addition, it is interesting to see how this group coup with the pandemic situation as the group’s leader has been sentenced to jail due to legal issues.
