“…MUI appeared as a deliberation forum for ulema, zu'ama (leaders), and Muslim intellectuals in Indonesia, originating on 7 Rajab 1395 in Jakarta, corresponding to July 26, 1975 (Alfitri, 2020). The primary aim of this institution was to guide, foster, and protect the interests of Muslims across Indonesia.…”

The religious authoritative institution of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), is facing infiltration by members connected with acts of terrorism. This leads to public demands for its dissolution under the banner of "Joint Enemy Terrorism". Therefore, this study aimed to assess the possibility of dissolving MUI by reviewing the root causes of terrorism within the religious institution. Through the lens of Islamic political analysis and a critical examination of various data sources, it became evident that the discourse advocating for the dissolution centered around the hashtag #BubarkanMUI#. This hashtag campaign was initiated to frame the participation of MUI members in extremist activities, thereby posing a threat of criminal terrorism. MUI, on the other hand, was beyond dispute due to its strong and legally entrenched position. In this context, the prospect of the dissolution became irrelevant, impractical, and challenging to materialize primarily due to membership issues. The existence of MUI was strengthened and secured through several laws mandating its engagement, including the certification of halal products and regulation of Sharia banking. This showed the religious institution must embark on a thorough evaluation and enhancement of both its structural framework and membership recruitment processes. Regarding the authority to dissolve non-political institutions and organizations, this prerogative should be entrusted to the Constitutional Court, serving as a judicial entity responsible for safeguarding democracy, human rights, and constitutional principles.

“…31 Dalam hal ini, keberadaan MUI juga merupakan instansi keagamaan yang memiliki legalitas formal sekaligus otoritas dalam mengeluarkan fatwa terkait sosial keagamaan yang terjadi di Indonesia. 32 Tidak terkecuali terkait identifikasi suatu ajaran atau aliran apakah dinyatakan menyimpang dari ajaran Islam atau tidak. 33 The da'wah orientation in the form of the formation of a religious-humanist Islamic religious character above shows that MUI wants to instill the values of religious moderation in various Islamic da'wah activities in Indonesia in the form of an anti-radicalism spirit that is emphasized in all orientations of da'wah activities in Indonesia.…”

The problem of the motive or ideological pattern of da'wah that is scattered, both in the real and virtual world, has prompted the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) in 2017 to set guidelines for preachers in Indonesia. These guidelines are intended to be a code of ethics for da'i who carry out da'wah activities in Indonesia. This qualitative research in the form of a literature study intends to identify the dimensions of mainstreaming religious moderation values in the orientation of da'wah in Indonesia as formulated by the MUI. This study uses a normative-philosophical approach. The analytical theory used, namely four indicators of religious moderation formulated by the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia in the form of anti-radicalism values, national commitment, tolerance, and accommodative to local culture. The results of the study conclude that there are dimensions of mainstreaming religious moderation values, dimensions of religious moderation values in da'wah orientation in Indonesia which were formulated by the Indonesian Ulema Council. First, the value of anti-radicalism in the orientation of religious-humanist Islamic religious character formation. Second, the value of national commitment and tolerance in the orientation of forming a nationalist and pluralist Islamic religious character. Third, the accommodative value of culture in the orientation of forming an innovative and harmonious Islamic religious character. The theoretical implication of this research shows that the prophetic Islamic social values contained in the da'wah orientation can be objectified in the life of a country that has a pluralistic social and religious background.

Fatwas are a form of persuasive argumentative discourse. This paper aims to describe the superstructure and structure of fatwa arguments regarding Akidah and Religious Traditions. The source of this paper's data is all fatwas of the fatwa commission of the Indonesian ulema council from 1975 to 2017. The method used to collect data and manage data is the document method. Discourse analysis methods are used to analyze data. The discussion of superstructure aspects utilizes Ashqar theory (1976) while Walthon theory (2006) is used to examine the structure of fatwa argumentation. The superstructure aspect of fatwas is realized by the Fatwa Commission of the Indonesian Ulema Council differently. All fatwa texts have presented substantial elements but formal elements are not included. The structure of fatwa argumentation is understood by the format of the text. For fatwas in the format of decrees, premise markers are identified through the vocabulary of "pay attention", "read", "weigh", and "remember" while conclusion markers are presented with the vocabulary of "decide", "establish", and "fatwa". Directly formatted fatwa texts are identified through inference, but some texts lack a premise and inference structure.
