Jakarta, 25 Mei 2009 Ilham Maulana 5 ABSTRAK Ilham Maulana Dakwah dan Politik : Study Atas Drs. H. Rachmat Yasin, MM Banyak Pemikiran tentang dakwah dan politik, ada yang mengatakan bahwa agama hanyalah mengatur urusan manusia dengan Tuhannya sehingga tidak ada politik didalam kehidupan beragama dan bernegara, atau ada juga yang mengatakan bahwa dakwah dan politik ibarat air dan minyak yang tidak mungkin menyatu. Namun, dalam Islam yang ajarannya komprehensif tidak ada satu pun dimensi dalam hidup yang tidak diatur. Seperti apa yang dikatakan oleh Eric Fromm, bahwa risalah yang dibawa oleh para Nabi dan Rasul tidak bercorak spiritual murni melainkan dimensi social politik. Mereka tidak hanya berkecimpung pada keselamatan di dunia. Mereka bukan hanya pemimpin rohani, tetapi juga pemimpin politik dan pemimpin masyarakat. Menurut sebagian orang awam, menyebut kata politik dalam dakwah mungkin tidaklah sesuai. Karena antara keduanya memiliki dimensi dan wilayah kajian yang berbeda. Dalam konteks Islam, dakwah berada pada dimensi spiritual agama, sedangkan politik berada pada tatanan non spiritual, bahkan tatanan sekuler yang penuh kepalsuan, kelicikan dan lain sebagainya. Oleh karena itu, dalam melakukan penelitian ini, penulis menemukan bagaimana kiprah Drs. H. Rachmat Yasin, MM. yakni seorang da’i sekaligus politikus yang kini menjadi Bupati Bogor. Mengenai dakwah dan politiknya. Melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi, akhirnya diketahui bahwa selama ini Drs. H. Rachmat Yasin, MM telah berdakwah dan berpolitik. Baginya, berpolitik itu adalah bagian dari dakwah yang mempunyai keterkaitan dalam kehidupan ukhrowi dan duniawi. Dakwah yang merupakan ajaran warisan dari Nabi Muhammad Saw harus menjadi kegiatan kolektif yang terus menerus dilaksanakan hingga hari kiamat. Kewajiban berdakwah bagi setiap muslim memang akan bergantung dengan kemampuan yang dimiliki oleh individu itu sendiri, namun dakwah tidak hanya menggunakan metode-metode yang biasa seperti ruang ceramah, tabligh akbar, atau mimbar jum’at, baik dari segi ekonomi, sosial, budaya, dan lain-lain. Selain itu, dakwah juga harus perhatian pada permasalahan-permasalahan umat yang harus dicari bersama-sama solusinya. Itulah antara lain pemikiran dakwah dan politik Drs. H. Rachmat Yasin, MM. yang penulis temukan. 6 KATA PENGANTAR Segala puji bagi Allah Tuhan seru sekalian alam, shalawat dan salam untuk Baginda Rasulullah Saw. Keluarganya, sahabatnya, serta para pengikutnya hingga akhir zaman. Skripsi ini adalah puncak perjuangan pendidikan penulis di UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, tiada kata yang layak diucapkan kecuali Alhamdulillahirrabbil Alamin. Penulis menyadari, bahwa dalam pelaksanaan kuliah, penelitian hingga penulisan skripsi ini tidak bisa berjalan sendiri, karenanya penulis ingin mengucapkan terima kasih yang tak terhingga, kepada : 1. Bpk. Dr. Murodi, M.A. selaku Dekan Fakultas Dakwah dan Komunikasi. Bpk. Drs. Wahidin Saputra, M.Ag. Selaku sekretaris Jurusan Komunikasi dan Penyiaran Islam, serta Bpk. Drs. Arief Subhan MA, selaku Pembimbing Akademik. Dan Bpk Drs. Jumroni. M.Si selaku dosen pembimbing skripsi. 2. Bpk. Drs. H. Rachmat Yasin, MM selaku narasumber dalam penelitian ini. Untuk semua kerja sama dan bantuan serta arahannya. Kepada Bpk. S. Ramilus dan Bpk. Abdul Muiz Istikhori untuk bantuan informasi, do’a, dan dukungannya, juga kepada sekertaris DPC PPP Teuku Hanibal, SE beserta staf dan jajarannya, penulis ucapkan terima kasih banyak. 3. Para dosen yang telah banyak membagi pengetahuan kepada penulis selama menempuh pendidikan. Karena itu, penulis akan selalu teringat dengan do’a dan nasihatnya. Semoga Allah membalas jasa Ibu dan Bapak dengan ganjaran yang paling terbaik. 7 4. Petugas Perpustakaan Fakultas Dakwah dan Komunikasi, yang telah memberikan kesempatan kepada penulis untuk mengakses berbagai informasi dan data-data yang diperlukan. Skripsi ini hanya sedikit cerita dari perjalanan panjang penulis selama menimba ilmu di UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. Penulis ingin mengucapkan terima kasih sebesar-besarnya juga untuk orang-orang penting dibalik perjalanan ini, dan mereka adalah : 1. Ibunda tercinta, Hj. Mariam HS untuk perjuangan dan doanya selama ini tiada yang lebih indah untuk penulis selain senyum beliau. Beserta ayah H. Nasar yang selalu memberikan dukungan moril maupun materil, tetehku tersayang, Novi Megawati. Dan Adikku Imam Ginanjar, penulis mencintai kalian semua. 2. Sahabat-sahabatku tercinta seperjuangan di KPI A 2005, teman-teman KKS dan semua yang selalu mendukung perjuangan penulis. 3. Civitas akademika di UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, terutama di Fakultas Dakwah dan Komunikasi, terima kasih untuk semua sarana dan prasarananya. Pada akhirnya kepada Allah jualah ini semua disadarkan, penulis sadar bahwa karya ini sangat jauh dari kesempurnaan, namun penuh harap semoga karya ini bisa menjadi jembatan ilmu dan keingintahuan yang lebih banyak di massa depan bagi penulis khususnya dan semua pihak pada umumnya.

  • Power Politics and the Indonesian Military
    Downloaded by [University of Defence] at 20:05 09 May 2016 Power Politics and the Indonesian Military Throughout the post-war history of Indonesia, the military has played a key role in the politics of the country and in imposing unity on a fragmentary state. The collapse of the authoritarian New Order government of President Suharto weakened the state, and the armed forces briefly lost their grip on control of the archipelago. Under President Megawati, however, the military has again begun to assert itself, and to reimpose its heavy hand on control of the state, most notably in the fracturing outer provinces. This book, based on extensive original research, examines the role of the military in Indonesian politics. It looks at the role of the military histori- cally, examines the different ways in which it is involved in politics, and considers how the role of the military might develop in what is still an uncertain future. Damien Kingsbury is Head of Philosophical, International and Political Studies and Senior Lecturer in International Development at Deakin University, Victoria, Australia. He is the author or editor of several books, including The Politics of Indonesia (Second Edition, 2002), South-East Asia: A Political Profile (2001) and Indonesia: The Uncertain Transition (2001). His main area of work is in political development, in particular in assertions of self-determination.

    Military Ideology in Response to Democratic Pressure During the Late Suharto Era: Political and Institutional Contexts Jun Honna Introduction1 This article discusses the ideological adaptation of the Indonesian military (ABRI) in the face of growing democratic pressures during the late Suharto era. For the last decade, political democratization figured as a core theme of public discourse under the authoritarian New Order polity.2 Political society insisted on the need for improving human rights accountability, eliminating ABRI's praetorian political intervention, and—more generally—for broadening space for political participation. In this process 1 This work is based on my doctoral field research carried out between May 1996 and May 1997 and between October and November 1998 in Jakarta. I am grateful to Dr. Harold Crouch, Professor Benedict Kerkvliet, Professor Benedict Anderson, and Grayson Lloyd for their valuable comments and criticism on an earlier version of this article. I also thank Professor Jeff Kingston and Marcus Mietzner for commenting on parts of the article. 2 On the expansion of democratic movements, see, for example, Max Lane, 'Openness/ Political Discontent and Succession in Indonesia: Political Development in Indonesia, 1989-1991 (Brisbane: Centre for the Study of Australia-Asia Relations, Griffith University, 1991); Edward Aspinall, "The Broadening Base of Political Opposition in Indonesia," in Political Oppositions in Industrialising Asia, ed. Garry Rodan (London: Routledge, 1996), pp. 215-240. Indonesia 67 (April 1999) 78 Jun Honna the mass media and political figures introduced such concepts as globalization (globalisasi) and civil society (masyarakat madani) into New Order political discourse, thus identifying their own demands as historically inevitable and, once accomplished, irreversible.3 Citing the concept of globalism, generally accepted as an irresistible world trend, democratic advocates both within the regime and in society strengthened pressure for the elimination of authoritarian practices long adopted by Suharto and ABRI.

It is more accurate to refer to them as Australian-based journalists. Brian Raymond Peters (29) and Malcolm Rennie (28) were British born. Gary James Cunningham (27) was a New Zealander. Only Gregory John Shackleton (29) and Anthony John Stewart (21) were Australian.
