Transforming Hate into Compassion as an Islamic Nonviolent Thought of Bediüzzaman Said Nursi

Abstract

The study of hatred that emerges as human nature can provide an analytical picture of how hatred arises, develops, and turns into humanitarian incidents. With an in-depth, systematic, and genealogical study, it can come up with a panacea for this hatred. The elixir can turn hatred into compassion, violence into nonviolence, and find creative ways to turn conflict into peace; thus, creating a new, better reality. This qualitative research uses a literature study from Risale-i Nur by Bediüzzaman Said Nursi (1877-1960). In this study, Nursi's religious and psychological explanations are compared with religious theories and studies of peace and conflict that are already popular in the Western world. The data in Risale-i Nur were analysed using the Mimesis theoretical framework of the philosophical approach. With this analysis there is the prefiguration stage (Mimesis I) about the background of Said Nursi's life, the configuration stage (Mimesis II) about the story of Said Nursi's traumatic experience, and the transfiguration stage about the emergence of the capacity to handle conflict independently with others using nonviolent ideas creatively, thus creating a new reality (Mimesis III). This new reality is "nonviolent Islam," which transforms conflict nonviolently, overcoming hatred with compassion and forgiveness. This statement is based on the argument that hatred is the root of violence, and Said Nursi can escape the trap of hatred through compassion and forgiveness. This study can contribute ideas to the study of moral philosophy and can also be used as a reference for training modules and sharing experiences to reduce conflict in society or between communities.

Metafisika Keterbatasan dan Pluralisme Agama Menurut John Hick

“…Konflik ini seringkali memicu diskriminasi, intoleransi, dan kekerasan, yang berdampak negatif bagi hubungan antara berbagai agama di masyarakat. Dalam konflik berbasis agama, pengalaman kekerasan traumatis dalam pertentangan atasnama agama selalu menciptakan kebencian, di mana dalam sejarah konflik manusia, kebencian telah menyebabkan lebih banyak kesengsaraan manusia sepanjang garis waktu kehidupan manusia dan bahkan melampaui sistem politik, ekonomi, dan agama (Haq & Sen, 2021). Konflik seperti ini meningkatkan ketegangan, ketakutan, dan kekerasan di berbagai komunitas dan mampu melemahkan ikatan sosial dalam keragaman suku, agama, ras, dan golongan yang dapat merusak kohesi sosial (Haq, 2021).…”

“…Dalam nilai-nilai Islam, terdapat nilai nirkekerasan dan perdamaian berdasarkan Alquran dan Hadits, sebagai dua sumber agama yang paling dapat diandalkan dan diterima dalam Islam. Ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan prinsip-prinsip dasar dan keyakinan nirkekerasan dalam praktik sehari-hari mereka di tingkat sosial dan politik dalam arus globalisasi tersebut (Haq & Sen, 2021).…”

“…Tindakan kebencian menyebabkan pertentangan serius antara kelompok sosial, yang mengarah ke konflik lebih lanjut. Konflik ini meningkatkan ketegangan, ketakutan, dan kekerasan di berbagai komunitas sehingga melemahnya ikatan masyarakat dengan keragaman suku, agama, ras, dan antargolongan yang dapat merusak kohesi sosial (Haq & Sen, 2021).…”
