Deciphering QS. al-Maidah: 51 in Qur'an, Liberation & Pluralism: Analyzing the Interpretation of the Word Auliya' through Farid Esack's Perspective

Naufa Izzul Ummam, Abdul Haris — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The interpretation of the term "leader" in reference to "auliya'" mentioned in Qs. al-Maidah: 51 has been a topic of debate among Indonesian Muslim scholars. In contrast to Farid Esack, who appears to lack understanding regarding the definition of leadership as it pertains to this verse, his focus remains firmly fixed on issues more relevant to the South African context. This study endeavors to propose Farid Esack's interpretation of the term auliya' in Qs. al-Maidah: 51, as it pertains to the South African context. Specifically, it examines his exploration of the word's meaning and delves into the implications of his unique perspective. This goal can be used as an alternative to other interpretations related to the word auliya' in Qs. al-Maidah. 51: 51. The research is a qualitative research with literature data which is analysed descriptively. The main data in this research is the meaning of the word auliya' in the book Qur'an Liberation & Pluralism by Farid Esack. The analysis of Esack's meaning presentation is conducted by examining the literature by revisionist mufassirs. The findings of this investigation conclude that Farid Esack, based on his liberation hermeneutics, interprets the term auliya to connote collaboration and solidarity. The implication of Esack's interpretation is that it is impermissible for a Muslim to collaborate with non-Muslims unless he does not forsake Muslims, intends to safeguard believers, has entered into a peace treaty with believers, and refrains from fighting against them. When contextualized within South Africa, Esack contends that a believer can cooperate with non-Muslims if it promotes the well-being of Muslims and combats racist conduct, oppression and injustice. However, to ascertain the pertinence of utilizing these interpretations within the Indonesian context, additional research is imperative. This study solely focuses on scrutinizing the outcomes and consequences of Esack's interpretation.

Ana Maulana — Sun, 25 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Prior to the 1961 Vienna Statute, only state actors were allowed to engage in diplomatic activities; however, non-state actors, including private citizens, are now included as well. This is, of course, based on several factors, starting from the flow of globalization to the role of the state, which is still unable to resolve certain issues, especially in the realm of peace advocacy. Of the many non-state actors involved in the practice of modern diplomacy, one of them is the individual actor, namely santri. Santri, in this case, has great potential and opportunities to become an actor in the world of diplomacy, especially in spreading peace advocacy. This condition can be seen through the historical record of santri, which has produced many peace-oriented movements. The dissemination of advocacy values also does not forget to highlight the characteristics of the Islam Nusantara identity, which is tolerant, friendly, and inclusive. In this regard, this research aims to explain the role of santri as diplomatic actor, especially in multi-track diplomacy to promote the Islamic values of Nusantara. The results of this research also prove that the role of santri in the realm of diplomacy is very broad and can be carried out through various multi-track diplomatic activities, ranging from inter-religious dialogue and santri exchange programs to the use of media platforms for da'wah media, which have become part of the form of novel diplomacy. In addition, to support this research, the author utilizes a qualitative research framework through the use of descriptive analysis methods and historical methods to obtain secondary data, based on internet-based research technique.

Isyaq Maulidan, Mukhtar Adinugroho — Sat, 20 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The concept of rights and obligations in the Book of Ḍau' Al-Miṣbaḥ Fī Bayāni Aḥkām Al-Nikāh by KH Hasyim Asy'ari refers to the textual meaning of hadith and refers to the social conditions at that time, so that the resulting understanding is gender biased. Meanwhile, nowadays the relationship between husband and wife has become a global issue. So how do you communicate this understanding so that it can be in line with current developments? The content analysis procedure used in this research method consists of four steps, namely data procurement, data reduction, inference and data analysis. In the Mubādalah principle, marriage is an agreement between a man and a woman to live together in one bond, working together to manage household roles. Because marriage is an agreement to live together, the pillars consist of five things, namely: Mitsaqan Ghalizan, Zawaj, namely partnership and togetherness, Taraadhin, Mua'syarah bil Ma'ruf, treating each other well and appropriately, Deliberation. The Mubadalah approach in reading the concept of the rights and obligations of husband and wife provides a progressive understanding and placing the relationship between husband and wife on an equal footing in both the private and public realms can provide an understanding of mutuality.
