After the Bogor Declaration on Muslim Action on Climate Change 2010, in 2011, The Indonesia Council of Ulama (MUI) established the Institute for Environmental and Natural Resources (PLHSDA) in the MUI’s Clerical Conference. The role of this unit within the MUI is very important because the MUI has a special unit in tackling various important issues in the environment, where Muslims can find authoritative answers to environmental challenges. So far, there have been seven MUI fatawa¯ (edicts) released by MUI related to the environment and the conservation movement. This paper will highlight environmental movements by the Muslim community in Indonesia, and describe how the implementation of the MUI fatawa¯ can contribute to addressing the massive increase in environmental challenges and increase the involvement and understanding of the Muslim communities in tackling biodiversity conservation as well as climate change.

    The Voice of the Ulema and Dilemma of the Indonesian Ulema Council's Fatwa among LRoEGwIST ELR iterLaOtGeIN Society HOME / ARCHIVES / VOL. 10 NO. 1 (2020): JUNE / ARTICLES The Voice of the Ulema and Dilemma of the Indonesian Ulema Council’s Fatwa among Low Literate Society PDF Published: Jun 2, 2020 DOI: https://doi.org/10.15642/teosofi.2020.10.1.29-51 Keywords: Fatwa, Literacy, Orality. Authors: Fariz Alnizar Indonesia Email: [email protected] Achmad Munjid Indonesia Email: [email protected] Fariz Alnizar Nahdlatul Ulama University of Indonesia, Indonesia Achmad Munjid Gadjah Mada University, Indonesia Abstract Some Islamic movements in Indonesia make the fatwas issued by the MUI as a reference for their actions. They recently found their momentum after the defence movements called 411 and 212. The proponents of the movements called themselves as Gerakan Nasional Pengawal Fatwa Majelis Ulama Indonesia (GNPF-MUI/The National Movement of Guardian of Fatwa of the Indonesian Ulema Council). Employing a qualitative approach coupled with historical-causal paradigm this article examines the main question: Do the proponents of these movements substantially understand the fatwas they defend? The results of the research show that the fatwas have a dilemmatic position. On the one hand, there have been movements which insist on making the fatwas as “sacred opinion” that must be protected and guarded. On the other hand, people do not substantially comprehend the fatwas they defend. This problem has been caused, among others, by the cultural basis of the Indonesian society which put more preference on orality than literality or, explicitly, written tradition.

  • Nadhlatul Ulama (NU) – Front Pembela Islam (FPI) – Ahmadiyah
    Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: IDN34217 Country: Indonesia Date: 21 January 2009 Keywords: Indonesia – Muhammadiyah – Nadhlatul Ulama (NU) – Front Pembela Islam (FPI) – Ahmadiyah This response was prepared by the Research & Information Services Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. This research response may not, under any circumstance, be cited in a decision or any other document. Anyone wishing to use this information may only cite the primary source material contained herein. Questions 1) Please provide information on Islam Muhamadyah (or Muhammadiah) 2) Please provide information on Front Pembela Islam (FPI) 3) Please provide information on the Nahdlatul Ulama Orgainsation of Islam (NU) 4) Please provide information on whether the authorities protect NU over Islam Muhamadyah. 5) Please provide any further information which may be of assistance. RESPONSE Executive Summary Muhammadiyah, founded in 1912, is the second largest Muslim organisation in Indonesia after Nadhlatul Ulama (NU). It is modernist (in the sense that it favours reform of Islam through a return to the authority of the qur’an and sunnah and modern educational methods) in its approach to Islam, and its founder Ahmad Dahlan “advocated the purification of Islamic thought and practice, the defence of Islam against its critics, and the promotion of these aims through a modernised system of Islamic education”. Muhammadiyah is considered the more conservative of the two organisations, as NU is “regarded as more liberal, tolerant, and comfortable with the idea of a secular state, as well as with syncretic patterns of Islam”.
