Abstract

This paper aims to illustrate that Sufism does not fully lead to scepticism and passivity in fighting for the benefit of Muslims. Sufism was originally a zuhud (ascetic) movement in Islam, and in its development, gave birth to the tradition of Islamic mysticism. Some Islamic thinkers argue that Sufism is an exile from the people who are more concerned with spiritual life so that they no longer think about the problems of Muslims. Sufism experts, as described the Sufis do not care about what is happening around them, let alone strive for the religion of Allah and also as defined by the public. This article is a literature study and uses the content analysis method from several documents about the history of Sufism. This paper proves that not all accusations about Sufism are true. It could see from the reality on the ground, and it turns out that the Sufis and their students play a lot of roles in helping the struggle of Muslims. Both in eradicating evil, re-implementing the Islamic Shari'a, abolishing polytheism, and Jihad. Jihad that has long been forgotten by Muslims in the late Ottoman period. The struggle of heroic Sufis will never fade from the pages of history. True Sufism is Sufism, which follows the instructions of Allah and His Messenger towards the cleanliness of the spirit, the glory of morals and manners, which finally knows Allah with bright eyes. The Holy Jihad is for the sake of perfection, Jihad against self, greed, against tyranny.

Abstract

The basic question being answered in this paper is how to construct inclusiveness thinking of Muhammad Shahrur about Islam and Iman (faith) he explores from the Quran? And what are the implications of such thinking. From his depth studies of the Quran, Shahrur believes that salvation doesn't only belong to one religion or the salvation of Muslims alone but it can also be found in a religion other than Islam. Anyone who surrenders to God believes in the Day of Judgment and doing a good deed, according to Shahrur, referred to as Muslims. It does not distinguish who he was and comes from what kind of formal religion. That is the conclusion found from his thoughts about religious attitudes. Pertanyaan mendasar yang hendak dijawab dalam tulisan ini adalah bagaimana konstruk pemikiran inklusivisme Muh}ammad Shah}rur tentang Islam dan iman yang dieksplorasinya dari al-Quran? Dan  apa implikasi dari pemikirannya tersebut. Dari kajianya yang mendalam terhadap al-Quran, Shah}rur berkeyakinan bahwa keselamatan tidak hanya milik satu agama atau orang Islam saja tetapi keselamatan itu bisa pula ditemukan di dalam agama selain Islam. Siapa  saja yang pasrah kepada Tuhan beriman kepada hari akhir, dan beramal saleh, menurut Shah}rur, disebut sebagai seorang Muslim. Ia tidak membedakan siapa orang itu dan berasal dari agama formal apa, demikian kesimpulan yang ditemukan dari buah pikirannya tentang sikap keberagamaan.

Abstract: This article makes an attempt to solve problems by discussing the 20th tasawuf reformation of Hamka and Said Nursi. The academic problems are: Why did Hamka and Said Nursi reform tasawuf by returning to Al-Qur’an and Sunnah?; What are the tasawuf reformation constructions of Hamka and Nursi?; What is the relevance of their tasawuf reformation in the contemporary religious life? In order to understand, elaborate, interpret, make meanings, and reveal the relevance to the contemporary social life, this article employs historical, philosophical, and integrative-interconnectivity approaches.The article finding shows that both Hamka and Said Nursi gave constructive critics and tasawuf reformation due to the factors of conditional-contextual, internal-substantial, and spiritual drought of the 20th century Muslim society.

Temuan artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa Hamka dan Said Nursi memberikan kritik-kritik konstruktif dan reformasi tasawuf mereka berkaitan dengan faktor-faktor kondisional-kontekstual, internal-substansial, dan kekeringan spiritual masyarakat Muslim abad XX. Hamka dan Said Nursi telah melakukan usaha-usaha besar untuk ijtihad tasawuf dalam memformulasikan wacana tasawuf mereka dengan pola-pola moderat sehingga mereka bisa diakses oleh semua lapisan masyarakat.

Abstract

Gender justice and gender equality are complex topics and drew the attention of many people. A number of Muslim jurists have studied it from various perspectives in order to understand and find a fair solution to the problem. However, most of them are rare to study it from the lens of maqāṣid al-Qur’ān, the purpose of al-Qur’an was revealed to the earth. Incorporating gender justice and gender equality in maqāṣid al-Qur’ān is considered urgent with the intent that people will really pay attention, watch, and put male and female proportionally. This paper focuses on analyzing Yūsuf al-Qarḍāwī's thought about gender equality and justice as part of maqāṣid al-Qur’ān. This article includes library research, whose datas are sourced from the literature. The results of this study revealed that men and women have equal rights in every aspect of life; education; economics, social, political, and law. They are also given equal rights in participating to be public leaders. Besides that, they have equal rights in selecting their belief (religion) based on their strong desire and their own belief and they have rights to get heritance as well as having rights to the goods they have. On the contrary, any kinds of discriminations, subordination, stereotyping, violence, and all forms of deviation inequality of gender bias, contradict and contrasted with maqāṣid al-Qur’ān.

Abstract: Tauḥīd (monotheism) affirms that God has created man most excellent among the creatures with the aim to serve Him. Proof of service must be proved by maintaining the best possible environment as He wills. It will consequences which bring up the ethics that guide humans to interact with their environment. Therefore, the relationship of Tauḥīd and ethics as good and bad links or ethical character that relies heavily on clean and dirty soul and reflect the quality of faith (īmān) and Tauḥīd (monotheism) itself. This article aims to elaborate on the relationship of Tauḥīd with mindset, because the mindset is mental activity that requires imagination in many ways and requires a balance; Tauḥīd relationship with the pattern of attitudes; patterns of attitude is the basic concept of a person's behavior; relationship between Tauḥīd and behavioral patterns ('amal). 'Amal is a reflection of a very concrete. From this pattern can be described as follows: Tauḥīd produces ethics, and ethics produces behavior ('amal). The pattern of this relationship in real life can be seen, among other things, how human beings interact with other God’s creatures (environment). Abstrak: Tauḥīd menegaskan bahwa Tuhan telah menciptakan manusia yang paling baik di antara para makhluk dengan tujuan untuk mengabdi kepada-Nya. Bukti pengabdian harus dibuktikan dengan menjaga lingkungan sebaik-baiknya sebagaimana yang dikehendaki-Nya. Konsekuensi dari ini akan memunculkan etika yang memandu manusia dalam berinteraksi dengan lingkungannya. Sebab, hubungan Tauḥīd dan etika seperti keterkaitan baik dan buruknya akhlak atau etika yang sangat bergantung pada bersih dan kotornya jiwa dan mencerminkan kualitas dari iman dan tauhid itu sendiri. Artikel ini bertujuan mengelaborasi hubungan Tauḥīd dengan pola pikir, karena pola pikir adalah aktivitas jiwa yang memerlukan khayal dalam berbagai hal dan membutuhkan keseimbangan; hubungan Tauḥīd dengan pola sikap; pola sikap adalah konsep dasar dari sebuah perilaku seseorang; hubungan antara Tauḥīd dan pola perilaku (‘amal). ‘Amal merupakan cerminan yang sangat kongkrit. Dari sini pola ini dapat digambarkan sebagai berikut: Tauḥīd menghasilkan etika, dan etika menghasilkan perilaku (‘amal). Pola hubungan ini dalam kehidupan riil dapat dilihat, antara lain, bagaimana manusia berinteraksi dengan makhluk-makhluk Tuhan yang lain (lingkungan).

Abstract

This paper examined how to understand the texts of the Qur'an and Ḥadīth concerning the concept of Ahl al-Kitāb. The concept of the Ahl al-Kitāb becomes frequently debatable for there have been contradictions of the texts with other texts. To avoid contradictory understanding, it can be reached by way of compromising various existing texts. Through this method, it reveals that there is no contradictory theological understanding in the Qur'an and Ḥadīth about how Muslims should behave towards and treat Ahl al-Kitāb. From the texts it precisely shows an understanding that Muslims have to give respect, to recommend for doing good, and to acknowledge the existence of the Ahl al-Kitāb as long as each of them does not meddle in the affairs of each faith. The texts also produce a strong message that alludes to an inclusive teaching of Islam towards Ahl al-Kitāb.Tulisan ini mengkaji tentang cara memahami nash-nash al-Qur’an dan Hadis mengenai konsep Ahl al-Kitāb. Konsep Ahl al-Kitāb selalu menjadi per­­­debatan karena seolah-olah telah terjadi kontradiksi di antara satu naṣ dengan nash yang lainnya. Untuk menghindari pemahaman yang kontradiktif, bisa ditempuh dengan cara mengkompromikan dan menjama’kan berbagai naṣ yang ada. Melalui metode tersebut ternyata tidak ditemukan kontradiksi pemahaman secara teologis di dalam al-Qur’an dan Hadis mengenai bagaimana seharusnya umat Islam bersikap terhadap  Ahl al-Kitāb. Dari naṣ-naṣ itu justeru me­nunjuk­kan satu pemahaman supaya memberikan respek, menganjurkan berbuat baik, dan mengakui eksistensi Ahl al-Kitāb yang harus dihormati, selama tidak saling men­campuri urusan keimanan masing-masing. Naṣ-naṣ tersebut juga meng­hasilkan pesan kuat akan sikap inklusif ajaran Islam terhadap Ahl al-Kitab.

Abstract: This paper aims to review the use of hermeneutics Khaled M. Abou El-Fadl in finding a potential meaning of the text Quran and the hadith in terms of epistemology. It departs from El-Fadl is one of the contemporary Muslim intellectuals who has criticized the authoritarianism of most Muslims to be removed because against God and just believe in the single meanings. Though the text made by God to contain the potential meanings can be harmonized and contextualize the demands of the times. In addition, hermeneutic departing from the study of Islamic law or fiqh, which is often confused with the Quranic text or as fiqh is the text itself. With a philosophical approach based on literature data and discourse analysis found that El-Fadl offers hermeneutics subjective-fiqhiyyah based on the interaction between the text and the interpretive community and "a little concerned" about the role of the author or the Lord so as to present a reinterpretation of the text in the form of the potential meaning of the text which at the same time avoiding the imposition of the single meaning that generally do lending institutions fatwa. Besides that distinguishes it from other contemporary hermeneutics Muslim intellectuals or philosophers west are El-Fadl did not recognize the individual's ability to interpret text, but "community" or in the language of jurisprudence called mujtahid jam'ī and was able to explain the position of God in the stage of interpreting the text without having to remove it as subjective hermeneutics of the West.Abstrak: Tulisan ini bertujuan mengulas hermeneutika yang digunakan Khaled M. Abou El-Fadl dalam menemukan potensi-potensi makna dalam teks Alquran dan hadis ditinjau dari epistemologi. Ini berangkat dari El-Fadl merupakan salah satu intelektual muslim kontemporer yang kritis atas otoritarianisme sebagian umat muslim harus dihilangkan karena melawan Tuhan dan hanya percaya terhadap pemaknaan tunggal. Padahal teks yang dibuat oleh Tuhan mengandung potensi-potensi makna yang bisa diselaraskan dan dikontekstualisasikan dengan tuntutan zaman. Selain itu hermeneutikanya berangkat dari kajian hukum Islam atau fikih yang sering tertukar dengan teks Alquran atau seolah fikih adalah teks itu sendiri. Dengan pendekatan filosofis berbasis data pustaka dan analisis wacana, ditemukan bahwa El-Fadl menawarkan hermeneutika subjektif-fiqhiyyah yang berbasis pada interaksi antara teks dan komunitas interpretasi dan “sedikit peduli” terhadap peran pengarang atau Tuhan sehingga mampu menghadirkan pemaknaan ulang terhadap teks berupa potensi-potensi makna teks yang sekaligus menghindari pemaksaan terhadap pemaknaan tunggal yang umumnya dilakukan lembaga pemberi fatwa. Selain itu yang membedakannya dengan hermeneutika intelektual muslim kontemporer lain atau filosuf Barat adalah El-Fadl tidak mengakui kemampuan individu dalam menafsirkan teks, melainkan “komunitas” atau dalam bahasa fikih disebut mujtahid jam’ī dan mampu menjelaskan posisi Tuhan dalam tahapan menafsirkan teks tanpa harus menghilangkannya sebagaimana hermeneutika subjektif dari Barat.

Abstract

The article explores Karl Barth and Hasan al-Banna ideas on ethics as the guidance for communal life. Barth emphasizes the command of God as the fundamental theology of Christian values. The prominent German theologian functions as the pivotal scholar in Christian evangelical stream. While al-Banna underlines the centrality of Islamic Sharia to reform Muslim life under colonial circumstances. As it is for Barth in the Christian side, Banna thought influences fundamentalist groups in many Muslim majority countries such as Egypt, Indonesia and many more. Using, a comparative study method, the article concludes that both scholars focus on how scriptures function as the fundamental value for human understanding of social and spiritual life. Although they shared similar issues, Barth, on the one hand, focuses more on how Christianity resist liberalism through the complete acceptance of the holy spirit role in Christian life. Banna, on the other hand, pay more attention to the application of Islamic values as the weapon to fight colonialism
