Islamic Expansion in the Ideology of Pancasila and State Sovereignty

Abstract

Islam is a religion that is adopted by the majority of Indonesian people and is believed to be a guide to life in order to obtain salvation in the world and in life after death. It makes a significant contribution to the initial process of negotiations to formulate the nation's philosophy of life, namely Pancasila. As a life guideline, the Pancasila nation and state are the main reference to conceptualize the sovereignty meaning which is then derived into International Law owned by Indonesia. This article uses the approach of discourse analysis in the implementation of Islamic values in the ideology of Pancasila. Islam's most important contribution to Pancasila is the 'monotheism' element which is the essence of Islamic teachings. Therefore, the dichotomy of Islam and Pancasila, or Islam and Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia (NKRI) becomes no longer relevant.

The Value System of Pancasila and Islam and Their Implementation in Sharia Economics in Indonesia: A Conceptual-Qualitative Approach

“…And, Pancasila as a gift from Muslims in its formulation at the opening of the 1945 Constitution has been determined as a way of life, the nation and state of Pancasila is the main reference for conceptualizing the meaning of sovereignty which is then revealed in International Law which is owned by Indonesia. Pohan & Vinata (2019) in their research using discourse analysis implementing Islamic values in the Pancasila ideology emphasizes that the most important contribution of Islam to Pancasila is the element of monotheism which is the essence of Islamic teachings. Therefore, the dichotomy of Islam and Pancasila, or Islam and the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) is no longer relevant.…”
