Islamism: Expression of Political Islam and Islamic Politics In South Sulawesi

Islamic politics always plays a key role in the formation of Indonesian national identity even though at certain points Islam had to compromise in the process of establishing the identity. In spite of this, Islam has noticeably brought about strong influence to a major part of Indonesian history. This in turn gives Islam a space to significantly take part in the development of Indonesian politics up to the present time. On the other hand, the role of political parties, particularly those of the Islamic parties, will always shape the discourse of Islamic party in Indonesia. This in turn will be an indicator for the ongoing involvement of Islamic politics in Indonesia, more specifically in South Sulawesi

POST-ISLAMISME: MEMAHAMI AKSI POLITIK ISLAM KONTEMPORER

Post-Islamism is a dynamic Islamic political phenomenon that spreads with various characters. Previously ideologically different groups tried to merge into the same movement and tried to compromise or even fight. Islamic groups or mass organizations that tend to compromise with the state are their way to continue to exist in political reality. Although actually some of them still do not abandon the goals or ideology of the organization totally. This is purely to maintain public sympathy and on the other hand, to exist in the dynamics of state politics. This phenomenon is in line with several main characteristics of post-Islamism, among others, they tend to be pragmatic, tend to compromise with the state without completely abandoning their ideological characteristics, and they tend to be more realistic in seeing the situation. It can be seen that post-Islamism tends to be less in tune with issues of secularism and on the other hand they also reject the application of Sharia law which looks rigid, including ideological-religious platforms in its application in several places. In general, the characteristics of post-Islamism tend to be the same, such as compromise with political realities, pragmatic tendencies in carrying out government programs, and a tolerant attitude towards groups that are considered different with them

THE CONSTRUCTION OF DAKWAH (ISLAMIC MISSIONARY) PHILOSOPHY AND THE POLITICS OF PROSPEROUS JUSTICE PARTY (PKS) OF MAKASSAR: PERSPECTIVE OF FIQH SIYASAH (ISLAMIC POLITICAL LAW)

For PKS, Islamic Law does not only comprise legal-formal laws adopted directly from Islam or absorbed from Islamic values, but also laws non-contradictive to Islam. PKS rests on its ideological construction developed based on the key principles confirming Islam as a complete and perfect concept to deal with all aspects of life. Islam was revealed as guidance for humanity to manage life and living. It is an obligation for every Muslim to establish live order according to the teachings of Islam. Here, Islam is understood as a religion (ad-din), and at the same time a State (ad-daulah), that is, the rules and regulations to manage life in the context of power. From this perspective, PKS pronounce itself as a dakwah (Islamic missionary) party, although, so far, PKS highlights a pragmatic-realistic approach in order to achieve its missionary politics.

Islamism in South Sulawesi: Studies on the Activism of PKS and Hizb Tahrir Indonesia

Partai Keadilan Sosial (PKS) and Hizb ut- Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) are two Islamic political movements in Indonesia with controversies and political sensations. In terms of organization, the two movements have a strong emotional connection historically and ideologically. Both are of transnational Islamic based movements, although in the end they perform their roles in different domains: PKS works at the level of intra- parliamentary with a formal political party label while HTI works in the region of extra-parliamentary and is labeled as a non-formal organizational movement. HTI, which rejects democratic system, turns out to enjoy Indonesian democracy as "a political blessing." HTI strongly criticizes the system of democracy in Indonesia as they genuinely support the concept of Caliphate but they in fact are free to move, to speak and to campaign because Indonesia follows the system of democracy. Although on the surface PKS is not as solid as HTI in holding up the idea of Islamic state/caliphate, many observers consider that PKS still make use of democracy to lead to the formation of an Islamic state. The presence of this kind of political Islam cannot be separated from the conditions of the crisis befalling Muslims, both the crisis of religious significance and structural crisis (political and socio- economic). For this reason, the Islamic movements often step forward to offer a variety of national solutions in accordance to their respective ideology.

ISLAMISME DAN DEMOKRATISASI DI INDOENSIA PASCA REFORMASI:ANALISIS SOSIO-POLITIK

Dalam beberapa pemeikiran terbaru, setidaknya ada tiga pandangan yang mencoba memecahkan masalah dikotomi antara agama (Islam) dan Negara. Pertama, Islam dan Negara adalah integreted (bersatu), tak dapat dipisahkan. Negara merupakan lembaga politik dan agama sekaligus. Pemerintahan negara diselenggarakan atas dasar kedaulatan Ilahi. Kedua, Islam dan negara berhubungan secara simbiotik yaitu berhubungan timbal-balik dan saling memerlukan.  Intinya adalah bahwa Islam memerlukan negara karena dengan negara, Islam dapat berkembang. Sebaliknya, negara memerlukan agama (Islam) agar dapat berkembang  dalam bimbingan etika dan moral. Ketiga, hubungan Islam dan negara bersifat sekularistik. Pandangan ini menolak sama sekali pendasaran negara kepada Islam, atau setidaknya menolak determinasi Islam atas bentuk negara. Di kalangan muslim, pemrakarsa pandangan ini antara lain adalah Ali Abd Al-Raziq. Ketiga pandangan tentang hubungan Islam dan negara ini dapat dipakai untuk melihat perkembangan persepsi umat Islam terhadap negara dan sebaliknya. Secara umu pandangan-pandangan yang ada di atas tersebar dalam berbagai aliran atau pemikiran yang ada di Indonesia, baik yang bersifat gerakan (Islam-Islamisme) atau wujud lain yang sangat berpengaruh dalam proses demokratisasi di Indonesia
