Abu ‘Ala Al-Maududi dan Gerakan Politik: Islamisme, Negara dan Kemerdekaan Pakistan

Tue, 05 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Tulisan ini membahas bagaimana Al-Maududi dan Jamaat Islami, yang dia dirikan, memainkan peran penting dalam membangun gagasan tentang kenegaraan Republik Islam Pakistan pasca merdeka dari kolonialisme Inggris dan berpisah dari India tahun 1947. Sebagai tokoh yang dipandang dari sudut pandang Barat, dianggap kontroversial karena sempat menolak pemisahan Pakistan dengan Negara induk India. Namun, setelah itu, Al-Maududi adalah orang yang paling aktif dalam mendukung pembentukan Republik Islam Pakistan. Tujuan dari tulisan ini adalah untuk melihat bagaimana Al-Maududi dan Jamaat Islami berpartisipasi dalam gerakan politik untuk penegakan Negara Islam di Pakistan. Selain itu, mengkritik perspektif Barat yang menganggapnya sebagai figur separatis dalam gerakan Muslim India. Metode penulisan kali ini adalah dengan menggunakan metode sejarah kritis dengan tahapan heuristik, kritik sumber atau verifikasi, interpretasi dan historiografi. Dalam penelusuran sumber studi pustaka penulis menggunakan tulisan pikiran dari Al-Maududi dan Sejarawan yang gandrung dengan persoalan Islam di Asia Selatan. Penulisan ini menggunakan pendekatan sosio-politik, dan lebih mendalam untuk melihat sosok Abu ‘Ala Al-Maududi kami melihat secara holistik dalam fragmen Sejarah intelektualisme Islam. Sebagai intelektual organik Al-Maududi bersama Jemaat Islami berani menjadi oposisi melawan hasil pemilu 1937 serta bergerilya untuk terbentuknya Negara Islam di Barat India yang saat ini menjadi Pakistan. Dalam temuan beberapa riset, Al-Maududi dengan organisasinya Jema’at El-Islami dianggap kelanjutan dari Hassan Al-Banna melalui gerakan Ikhwanul Muslimin di Mesir, namun ternyata banyak sekali perbedaan. Meskipun mendapat stigma radikal oleh Barat, namun gerakannya tidak sepenuhnya membenci barat. Dalam konsep doktrin Islam dan Negara yang digaungkan Al-Maududi yakni Teo-Demokrasi adalah bentuk pembaharuan dari Sekularisme Demokrasi Barat dan menurutnya adalah perlunya titik temu antara kedaulatan rakyat dengan nilai-nilai Ketuhanan Islam.

Transformasi Visi UEA 2021: Kajian Pendekatan Sosiologi Agama dalam Pembangunan Negara Muslim Modern

Fakih Fadilah Muttaqin, Aris Munandar — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study discusses how the United Arab Emirates (UAE) integrates Islamic values in modern socio-political development through a socio-political approach to religion. Focusing on the UAE's national development vision 2021, this paper analyzes how values such as maslahah (public interest), maqashid al-shariah (sharia goals), and hikmah (wisdom) are systematically used by the state in the process of modernization and institutional reform. This study shows that Islam in the UAE is not only used as an ethical foundation, but also as a source of symbolic legitimacy and a tool of social engineering that supports stability, national integration, and the consolidation of state power. Using the framework of the sociology of religion, this paper unravels how Islamic symbols and values are used in state discourse, public policy, and institutional building such as the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments and the Ministry of Tolerance and Coexistence. In addition, the study also explores the role of Islam in the UAE's soft power through interfaith diplomacy and sharia economic development, which reinforces the UAE's position as a modern Muslim country that is adaptive to globalization without relinquishing its roots of religious values. The results of this study show that the UAE's vision for 2021 is not only a technocratic development project, but also a cultural and religious project that makes Islam a unifying force and a guide to social change. Thus, this paper contributes to understanding the dynamics of the relationship between religion and state-building in the contemporary Muslim world.

Khataman Metode Rukū’ Dalam Meningkatkan Semangat Membaca Al-Qur’an (Studi Living Qur’an di Masjid As-Shodiqin)

Rahmalia Fellashofa Regita, Fadhilah Rahmawati — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study originates from a phenomenon at As-Shodiqin Mosque, Plosorejo, Ponorogo, where congregants faced limitations in regularly reading the Qur’an before the implementation of the rukū’ method. Previously, Qur’anic reading was conducted only once a week through the recitation of Surah Yasin without a structured system. This research aims to analyze how the rukū’ method can foster a more sustainable culture of Qur’anic reading.Using a phenomenological approach, data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that the rukū’ method helps congregants who had never previously completed a full recitation of the Qur’an. The short, consistent reading segments boost enthusiasm and engagement among participants. Additionally, the implementation of this method strengthens Islamic brotherhood (ukhuwah Islamiyah) through more active interactions and shared religious experiences. Thus, the rukū’ method has proven to be an effective strategy in cultivating a more inclusive and sustainable Qur’anic reading culture at As-Shodiqin Mosque.
