Even though study concerning Islam and politics has been conducted by many researchers, few of them investigating about compatibility of Islamic political thoughts, which originated from the classical and medieval periods that have been influencing Islamic political movements and thoughts in Indonesia, with Indonesian context. Thoughts of Imam al-Mawardi (lived in the 12th Century) and Taqiyuddin al-Nabhani (lived in the 20th Century) are some of them that should be mentioned in this regard. Islamic political thoughts of al-Mawardi become the main reference for Sunni Muslims who are majority in Indonesia, while Islamic political thought of al-Nabhani become the main guidance of HTI (Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia) movement of which its members and followers are many in Indonesia. This article investigates about the political thoughts of al-Mawardi and al-Nabhani concerning the relationship between Islam and state as well as their compatibility with Indonesian context. This study uses the library research in which its primary resources are books written by al-Mawardi entitled Al-Ahkam al-Sulthaniyah and al-Nabhani entitled Ad-Daulah al-Islamiyah. By utilizing qualitative content analysis, data were collected and analyzed. This article argues that the Islamic political thought of al-Mawardi has been adopted by majority of Indonesian Sunni Muslims with some adjustments with Indonesian context, so that his thoughts become compatible with the concept of modern nation-state of Indonesia. On the other side, Islamic political thought of al-Nabhani which developed within a spirit of resistance to Western (European) colonialism has been adopted and campaigned by HTI without adjustment with Indonesian context. This causes al-Nabhani’s thought clashes with the concept of modern nation-state of Indonesia.
Gerakan masif yang memprotes dan menolak hasil Pemilu 2019 di Indonesia mengindikasikan adanya ketidakpercayaan politik (political distrust) terhadap kedua lembaga Pemilu, yaitu KPU dan Bawaslu, dan Pemerintah. Sebagian besar dari kelompok yang menyuarakan penolakan tersebut terhubung dalam identitas yang sama, yang menekankan kecintaan terhadap agamanya dan perasaan termarjinalisasi. Apa makna ketidakpercayaan tersebut dalam konteks gerakan Islam kontemporer dan negara demokrasi adalah fokus utama artikel ini. Artikel ini berupaya untuk mendiskusikan populisme Islam dalam pemilu 2019 yang secara khusus akan mengeksplorasi bagaimana dan mengapa populisme Islam tumbuh di masa pasca Orde Baru—terutama di Pemilu 2019—, seperti apa karakternya, dan bagaimana dampaknya terhadap masa depan demokrasi di Indonesia.
This article describes how Muslims deal with fatwa through examining the extent to which Muslims in Ternate (North Maluku) respond to MUI’ fatwa concerning the application of ibadah (worship) during the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. In order to control and prevent the infection of the virus widely, people are required to stay at home and to keep their distance from crowds, including attending congregational worship (shalat jamaah) in mosques as issued in the MUI’s fatwa. The fieldwork was conducted in Ternate between March-May 2021, using qualitative research methods through participatory observation and interview. This article shows that the obedience of Muslim society in Ternate to the MUI’s fatwa is not only determined by aspects of the religious authority of the MUI, but also by local government, local religious leaders, and pragmatic considerations of the society as well as their perception about the dangerous impact of the Covid-19.
