This article describes the salaf doctrines as a religious group which has puritanical and radical interpretation on Islam. These doctrines are the master frame of salafi movement as the cornerstone of any ideas propagated. Among its doctrines are back to Qur’an and Sunnah; adhere Sunni (Ahlussunnah wal Jama’ah) within its ideology which differ the other Islamic groups interpretation; anti political parties and anti-western. To hold literal interpretation in interpreting Al-Qur’an and Sunnah (Prophet tradition) is one of its concept and paradigm to avoid speculative and reasonable interpretation. Although this religious group was engaged in political sphere by striving in “the holy war” in Moluccas around 2000 in the name of Lasykar Jihad (Jihad Paramilitary Force), from then on it became apolitical movement.
