Pandangan Ulama tentang Kepemimpinan dalam Negara Islam

The idea of Islamic state and leadership has long been a subject of debate. But it remains intriguing to ask once and again what does Islamic state mean and what is its real and true nature? What does leadership mean and does Islam really need politics? This paper is designed mainly to answer these important questions. It will trace the ideal form of politics in Islam by investigating the formulas promulgated by the ulama over centuries. Two notions will be the focus of this investigation. First is the notion of how a leader should be elected, and second is the problem of what are the conditions of the leader. These two interrelated problems are at the centre of the idea of leadership in Islam. We argue that by understanding them one would necessarily be able to grasp the ?Islamic? formula of statehood and politics

RE-INTERPRETASI PEMIKIRAN UKHUWWAH SAYYID QUTHB

Abstrak: Penelitian ini memotret kembali karakteristik pemikiran Sayyid Quthb yang diklaim sebagai seorang tokoh fundamentalis, radikal dan ekstrimis. Akan tetapi berdasarkan penelitian dengan mengambil sampel pemikirannya tentang konsep ukhuwah, klaim di atas tidaklah benar seluruhnya. Ketika mengkaji pemikirannya tentang ukhuwwah, Sayyid Quthb adalah seorang tokoh pemikir Islam yang toleran dan cinta perdamaian. Hal ini terlihat dari beberapa bentuk pemikirannya yang dianggap cukup terbuka. Pertama, menurutnya toleransi adalah unsur yang paling penting bagi terwujudnya perdamaian. Kedua, seorang mukmin apabila berpaling mereka melakukannya dengan beradab, penuh wibawa, dan penuh harga diri. Ketiga, kebebasan beragama merupakan hak asasi manusia yang karena iktikadnya itulah ia layak disebut manusia. Keempat, masalah akidah, sebagaimana dibawa oleh Islam, adalah masalah kerelaan hati setelah mendapatkan keterangan dan penjelasan, bukan pemaksaan dan tekanan. Kelima, setiap orang mukmin adalah bersaudara apapun kelompok, manhâj, atau alirannya, mereka adalah bersaudara.Abstract: The Reinterpretation of Ukhuwwah Thought of Sayyid Quthb.
