Giora Eliraz Distinctive Contemporary Voice : Liberal Islam Thought in Indonesia Abstraksi: Narasi Islam liberal kerap diasosiasikan dengan geraknn pembaharuan lslam pada akhir 1960-an dan awal 1970-an, yang dikenal seb agai neo -mo dernisme. Kar ena itu istilah neo-modernisme, lib er alisme Islam, dan Islam liberal dslam konteks Indonesia kini sering disebut dalam tariknn nafas yang sama. Neo-modernisme Islam di lndonesia ini secara kuat terhubung kepada tokoh-tokoh utama yang menjadi pionirnya, seperti Nurcholish Madjid (1939-2005), Abdurrahman Wahid (lahir pada 1940), Harun Nasution (L9L9-1998), Munawir Syadzali (1925-2004), Djohan Effendi (lahir pada 1939), dan Ahmad Wahib (1924-1973). Kemunculan Islam Liberal terkait dengan pertumbuhan radikalisme Islam yang menonjol pndn masa post-Soeharto. Beragam organisasi bergabung bersama membentuk diskursus Islam liberal yang sekarang, dan yang terpenting adalah laringan Islam Liberal (lL). lIL, beridiri pada 200L, menghadirkan dirinya sebagai forum terbuka untuk mendiskusikan dan mendiseminasiknn konsep liberalisme Islam di Indonesia serta untuk mengknji dan memajuknn oisi Islnm yang toleran, terbuka, dan suportif bagi penguatan demokratisasi. Artikel ini mencoba melihat kontinuitas intelektual antara generasi tua, gerakan neo-modernisffie yang membentuk bagian swal diskursus Islam liberal di Indonesia, dan generasi muda gerakan Islam liberal di Indonesia, yang direpesentasikan oleh lIL, dengan menunjukkan persamaan dan pebedaan masing-masing. luga dilihat perbedaan konteks historis dan historis antara neo-modernisme dsn arus baru Islam liberal di Indonesia tersebut. Prinsip, gagasary dan tema-tema neo-modernisme Islsm tersebar ke dalam diskursus Islam liberal kontemporer. Aspek teologis menjadi pilar sentral dalam pandangan dunia lingkaran Islam liberal, Selain itu, dipandu oleh pendekntan konfekstual terhadap teks agama dan oleh ideal 379 Studia lslamikn, VoL 1.5, No. 3, 2008 180 Ciora Fl[raz liberal, Islam liberal di Indonesia mengusung gagasan persamaan gender. Argumen dan konsep-konsep dasar neo-modernisme terknit hubungan negara-agama-seperti pemisahan agama dan kekuasaan politik-juga dikemb angkan lingkar nn I IL. Keb ebasan b er agama, plur alisme, hak-hak asasi manusia, perlindungan terhadap minoritas, dan dialog antar-iman untuk menjembatani agama, adalah di antara temapenting yang didukung Islam liberal. Beragam penjelasan bisa diberikan terkait berkembangnya pemikiran Islam liberal di Indonesia dalam bebernpa dekade, sementara di negara- negara Muslim lain p emikir an hany a didukung sejumlah kecil intelektual. Salah satu yang terpenting adalah tradisi toleransi dan pluralisme yang mengakar dalam nilai-nilai kultural di kepulauan Indonesia. Tradisi ini membuat Islam di Indonesia menjadi lahan subur bagi munculnya nrus pemikiran yang beragam. Dari awal masyaraknt nusantara bergulat dengan apa yang oleh para ahli sosial disebut sebagai isu modern yang unik, plur alisme kultur al. Situasi historis, yaitu perjumpaan kepentingan antara rezim Soeharto dan neo-modernisme juga bisa memberi penjelasan. Misalnya, argumen religius kelompok neo-modernis yang mendukung Pancasila, termasuk pemisahan antarn agama dan politik, menjadi instrumen bagi kepentingan Soeharto menjndikan Pqncasila sebagai asas tunggal negara. Tradisi toleransi dan pluralisme di banyak pesnntren di wilayah pedesaan di lawa mendukung p enerimnan ide-ide neo -mo dernis. Ger akan neo-mo dernis i uga diuntungkan keterlibatan banyak pemikir dan aktiuisnya dalam birokrasi negara, difusilitasi oleh pnndangan merekn yang mendukung harmoni antara negara dan Islam. Dan, narasipemikiran Islam libersl di Indonesia terkait dengan perubahan Insitut Agama lslam Negeri (IAIN) pada 1970- an menjadi institusi pendidikan tinggi modern. Kurikulum IAIN terbuka bagi ilmu-ilmu modern dan mendukung upayn kreatif mensintesiskan studi-studi Islam klasik dengan pendekatan modern-kritis. Namun, situnsi dan atmosfer yang melingkupi generasi baru pembawa bendera Islam liberal kini terlihat kurang menguntungkan. Perjumpaan kepentingan praktis antara geraknn neo-modernis dnn rezim Soeharto tak dijumpai dalam era post-Soeharto. Bahkan, IIL kerap berseberangan dengan negara. Lebih dari itu, era reformasi menswarkan keadaan yang problematis dan penuh paradoks bagi pemikiran Islam liberal. Hilangnya pembatasan kebiebasan berbicara dan politik, termasuk pembatnsnn pada politisasi Islam, memungkinkan berkembangnya agenda-agenda politik Islam konseraatif melalui mekanisme demokrasi. Bahkan, suara Muslim radikal yang kuat pada aras tertentu tampak seperti harga yang harus dibayar untuk demokrasi dan sebagai hasil tak terelakknn bagi berbagai kesulitan yang dihadapi Indonesia melalui proses transisi demokrasi.

It overviews the background and motive of writing this book (Pesan-pesan al-Qur’an/PPQ), Qur’anicexegesis methodology and presentation and also reveals the advantages and shortcomings of PPQ. PPQ is Djohan Effendi’s effort to comprehend the messages of Qur’an. PPQ is not aimed at academic interest, so PPQ is free form the established methodology of Qur’anic exegesis.PPQ contains the global interpretation of 114 surahs of Qur’an, appendix on thematics interpretation and poetical rendering of al-Fatihah and Juz Amma. The exegisis by reason is used in PPQ and ijmali(global) andmaudu’i(thematic) are the method of presentation of PPQ. In addition, PPQ has moral-ethics(adabi) and ijtima’i (society/community) by stressing to the substantial and universal values. PPQ is completed with the poems in every closing of interpreting Surah and attached the poetical translation of Juz Amma and Surah al-Fatihah. Regardless of its uniqueness and lacks, PPQ as a part of Indonesia Qur’anic interpretation deserves to be appreciated.

  • The Formation of Liberal and Anti-Liberal Islamic Legal Thinking in Indonesia Akh
    Akh. Muzakki IS EDUCATION DETERMINANT? The Formation of Liberal and Anti-liberal Islamic Legal Thinking in Indonesia Akh. Muzakki The University of Queensland, Australia Abstract: Liberalism and anti-liberalism are two increasing- ly prominent but staunchly opposing streams of Islamic legal thinking in Indonesia. This article analyses the formation of each of the two through an examination of the role of formal education. It focuses on organic intellectuals during two periods, the New Order and the reformasi. Challenging the strongly-held thesis of the determinant role of education, this article argues that both liberal and anti-liberal Islamic legal thinking in Indonesia is a result of not only the intellectual formation in the sense of academic training and access to education and knowledge, but also the sociological background and exposure in building a new epistemic community in an urban context. As a theoretical understanding of sociolo- gical background and exposure, the concept of epistemic community deserves to be taken as an analytical framework in addition to education for the analysis of the formation of the two contesting bents of Islamic legal thinking in Indonesia. Keywords: Liberalism, anti-liberalism, Islamic legal think- ing, education, epistemic community. Introduction In his controversial speech entitled “The Necessity of Islamic Renewal Thinking and the Problem of the Integration of the Ummah” on 2 January 1970, Madjid argued for a dynamic approach to Islam which requires reinterpretation of Islamic teachings in context with place and time. In more elaborate ways, he further argued that Islamic values move in line with the spirit of humanitarianism which promotes 280 JOURNAL OF INDONESIAN ISLAM Volume 01, Number 02, December 2007 Is Education Determinant? the dignity of Mankind.

  • What Is Indonesian Islam?
    M. Laffan, draft paper prepared for discussion at the UCLA symposium ‘Islam and Southeast Asia’, May 15 2006 What is Indonesian Islam? Michael Laffan, History Department, Princeton University* Abstract This paper is a preliminary essay thinking about the concept of an Indonesian Islam. After considering the impact of the ideas of Geertz and Benda in shaping the current contours of what is assumed to fit within this category, and how their notions were built on the principle that the region was far more multivocal in the past than the present, it turns to consider whether, prior to the existance of Indonesia, there was ever such a notion as Jawi Islam and questions what modern Indonesians make of their own Islamic history and its impact on the making of their religious subjectivities. What about Indonesian Islam? Before I begin I would like to present you with three recent statements reflecting either directly or indirectly on assumptions about Indonesian Islam. The first is the response of an Australian academic to the situation in Aceh after the 2004 tsunami, the second and third have been made of late by Indonesian scholars The traditionalist Muslims of Aceh, with their mystical, Sufistic approach to life and faith, are a world away from the fundamentalist Islamists of Saudi Arabia and some other Arab states. The Acehnese have never been particularly open to the bigoted "reformism" of radical Islamist groups linked to Saudi Arabia. … Perhaps it is for this reason that aid for Aceh has been so slow coming from wealthy Arab nations such as Saudi Arabia.1 * This, admittedly in-house, piece presented at the UCLA Colloquium on Islam and Southeast Asia: Local, National and Transnational Studies on May 15, 2006, is very much a tentative first stab in the direction I am taking in my current project on the Making of Indonesian Islam.

  • Friend - Wahid
    Foreign Policy Research Institute E-Notes A Catalyst for Ideas Distributed via Email and Posted at www.fpri.org January 2010 ABDURRAHMAN WAHID, THE INDONESIAN REPUBLIC, AND DYNAMICS IN ISLAM By Theodore Friend Abdurrahman Wahid, known as Gus Dur, died on 30 December 2009 at the age of sixty-nine. The genial complexity of his character, which drew millions to him, was not adequate to the pressures of the presidency. But his life, career, and elements of caprice contain abundant clues for anyone who would understand modern Sufism, global Islam, and the Republic of Indonesia. Premises of a Republic Wahid was five years old in 1945 at the time of Indonesia’s revolutionary founding as a multi-confessional republic. Sukarno, in shaping its birth, supplied the five principles of its ideology: nationalism, international humanity, consensus democracy, social justice, and monotheism. Hatta, his major partner, helped ensure freedom of worship not only for Muslims but for Catholics and Protestants, Hindus and Buddhists, with Confucians much later protected under Wahid as president. The only thing you could not be as an Indonesian citizen was an atheist. Especially during and after the killings of 1965-66, atheism suggested that one was a communist. In this atmosphere, greatly more tolerant than intolerant, Wahid grew up, the son of the Minister of Religious Affairs under Sukarno, and grandson of a founder of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in 1926—a traditionalistic and largely peasant-oriented organization of Muslims, which now claims 40 million members. Wahid himself was elected NU’s chairman, 1984-1999, before becoming, by parliamentary election, President of the Republic, 1999-2001.

This paper examines the discussion of Djohan Effendi's interpretation contained in the book The Qur'anic Messages Trying to Understand the Holy Book. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the portrait of Djohan Effendi's intellectual life, to find out, study and analyze about contemporary thinking from Djohan in interpreting the Koran presented in the form of examples and to analyze the interpretation of the interpretation of the Koran message books created by Djohan. The method used is the descriptive-analysis method using historical. From this, it can be concluded that Djohan Effendi is an Islamic intellectual who came from Banjarmasin and is no longer in the hearings of Islamic thinkers, besides that he is also very enthusiastic about the interpretation of the Koran, so that his last monumental work was successful. Furthermore, related to Djohan's contemporary interpretation in interpreting, he originates from bi al-ra'yi and begins to make an initial understanding with the capital of knowledge and experience in his path, as well as compile the keyword rabbit with God of the pelantan. Then Djohan also does not include the verses of the Koran in it, only the writing of calligraphy is in it.

  • From Custom to Pancasila and Back to Adat Naples
    1 Secularization of religion in Indonesia: From Custom to Pancasila and back to adat Stephen C. Headley (CNRS) [Version 3 Nov., 2008] Introduction: Why would anyone want to promote or accept a move to normalization of religion? Why are village rituals considered superstition while Islam is not? What is dangerous about such cultic diversity? These are the basic questions which we are asking in this paper. After independence in 1949, the standardization of religion in the Republic of Indonesia was animated by a preoccupation with “unity in diversity”. All citizens were to be monotheists, for monotheism reflected more perfectly the unity of the new republic than did the great variety of cosmologies deployed in the animistic cults. Initially the legal term secularization in European countries (i.e., England and France circa 1600-1800) meant confiscations of church property. Only later in sociology of religion did the word secularization come to designate lesser attendance to church services. It also involved a deep shift in the epistemological framework. It redefined what it meant to be a person (Milbank, 1990). Anthropology in societies where religion and the state are separate is very different than an anthropology where the rulers and the religion agree about man’s destiny. This means that in each distinct cultural secularization will take a different form depending on the anthropology conveyed by its historically dominant religion expression. For example, the French republic has no cosmology referring to heaven and earth; its genealogical amnesia concerning the Christian origins of the Merovingian and Carolingian kingdoms is deliberate for, the universality of the values of the republic were to liberate its citizens from public obedience to Catholicism.

  • Dakwah, Competition for Authority, and Development
    Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde Vol. 167, no. 2-3 (2011), pp. 236-269 URL: http://www.kitlv-journals.nl/index.php/btlv URN:NBN:NL:UI:10-1-101389 Copyright: content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License ISSN: 0006-2294 JOHAN MEULEMAN Dakwah, competition for authority, and development Introduction The Arabic word da`wah – literally call or invitation – is a general term which denotes propagation of the Islamic religion. The Malay/Indonesian term, de- rived from the Arabic, is dakwah.1 Although the concept includes efforts to convert non-Muslims to Islam, da`wah primarily refers to activities aiming at strengthening and deepening the faith of Muslims and helping them lead their daily lives in conformity with Islamic principles. Since the birth of Islam, da`wah has been an important aspect of this religion and da`wah activities have always been highly appreciated in Muslim societies. However, in the course of the twentieth century, da`wah activities and organizations have grown par- ticularly strong all over the Muslim world and have adopted new forms and new aims. This phenomenon is related to two major developments which were partly contradictory: a renewed aspiration for international unity of all Muslims, on the one hand, and the formation of modern nation-states with their different religious traditions and – more importantly – their conflicting political interests, on the other hand. Additional factors include the develop- ment of modern means of transport and communication as well as Christian missionary activities.2 Although often associated with revivalism, competi- tion with other religions, or opposition to a secular political establishment, da`wah, understood more generally as organized efforts to strengthen the Is- lamic faith and its practice, is not limited to movements characterized by such associations.

  • The Rise of Islamic Religious-Political
    Hamid Fahmy Zarkasyi THE RISE OF ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS-POLITICAL MOVEMENTS IN INDONESIA The Background, Present Situation and Future1 Hamid Fahmy Zarkasyi The Institute for Islamic Studies of Darussalam, Gontor Ponorogo, Indonesia Abstract: This paper traces the roots of the emergence of Islamic religious and political movements in Indonesia especially during and after their depoliticization during the New Order regime. There were two important impacts of the depoliticization, first, the emergence of various study groups and student organizations in university campuses. Second, the emergence of Islamic political parties after the fall of Suharto. In addition, political freedom after long oppression also helped create religious groups both radical on the one hand and liberal on the other. These radical and liberal groups were not only intellectual movements but also social and political in nature. Although the present confrontation between liberal and moderate Muslims could lead to serious conflict in the future, and would put the democratic atmosphere at risk, the role of the majority of the moderates remains decisive in determining the course of Islam and politics in Indonesia. Keywords: Islamic religious-political movement, liberal Islam, non-liberal Indonesian Muslims. Introduction The rise of Islamic political parties and Islamic religious movements after the fall of Suharto was not abrupt in manner. The process was gradual, involving numbers of national and global factors. 1 The earlier version of this paper was presented at the conference “Islam and Asia: Revisiting the Socio-Political Dimension of Islam,” jointly organized by Japan Institute of International Affairs (JIIA) and Institute of Islamic Understanding Malaysia (IKIM), 15-16 October, Tokyo.

Dalam aksinya, mereka membunuh banyak orang, merugikan harta benda, serta membuat kerusakan infrastruktur dari wilayah kekuasaannya di Timur Tengah sampai dengan Asia Tenggara. Kabar kekerasan ISIS terdengar melalui media massa, dari internet, dalam artikel berita, dan didiskusikan di media sosial. Namun, dengan segala informasi mengenai kekejaman ISIS, mengapa masih ada orang Indonesia yang mendukung ISIS? Apa yang membuat mereka membenci orang-orang kafir? Apa yang memotivasi mereka untuk berjuang demi ISIS, bahkan sampai rela untuk kehilangan nyawa? Penelitian ini, dengan mengaplikasikan teori konstruktivisme, mendiskusikan kisah sejarah Indonesia dan faktor sosial yang mendasari alasan orang Indonesia mendukung ISIS. Dengan metode penelitian kualitatif, data dikumpulkan melalui interview dan studi literatur dari buku dan artikel penelitian. Peneliti mendiskusikan total 6 (enam) faktor pendorong dan penarik, mulai dari kisah sejarah, radikalisme di Tanah Air, kecendrungan orang Muslim di Indonesia, dan generasi milenial. Keywords: Radicalization, extremism, ISIS, Indonesia 1. Introduction Since the Islamic State of Iraq and Indonesians, including women

Atas dasar itulah, beberapa tokoh Islam Indonesia ingin memajukan umatnya dengan trilogi tersebut. Dalam perjalanannya, tokoh Islam seperti Nurcholish Madjid dan Ulil Abshar menuai kritik dari Rasjidi dan Atiyan Ali. Puncaknya adalah ketika MUI mengeluarkan fatwa mengharamkan Islam liberal. Bagaimana gambaran sejarah masuk Islam liberal di Indonesia? Mengapa terjadi polemik Islam liberal di Indonesia? Untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut, metode yang digunakan adalah metode sejarah, meliputi heuristik, kritik, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, sejarah Islam liberal di Indonesia terbagi ke dalam empat tahap, yaitu: Tahap awal ketika masih menyatu dengan pemikiran neo-modernisme. Kedua, pembentukan enam paradigma Islam liberal. Ketiga adanya kritik dan evaluasi pemikiran Islam liberal. Kemudian sebab terjadinya polemk pemikiran Islam liberal disebabkan oleh perbedaan paradigma berfikir dan metodologi memahami ajaran Islam dalam melihat realitas yang terjadi di masyarakat pada masa kontemporer. Kata kunci: Islam liberal, sejarah, tokoh liberal, polemik. Abstract The progress achieved by Western countries in the fields of science, technology and economics is rooted in liberalism, pluralism and secularism. For this reason, some Indonesian Muslim intellectuals want to reform their people accordingly.
