Indonesia as a pluralism nation-state has established Pancasila as the state ideology. Pancasila is the result of the conceptualization and history of the struggle of the Indonesian. It contains the noble values and keeps the spirit of the nation's struggle. Due to the failures of the government in developing the country, radical groups appeared for replacing Pancasila ideology into Islamic Shari'a. They claims that Pancasila along with three other pillars as the ideology of "taghut". This paper aims to construct meaning and understanding of the relationship between Islam and Pancasila in the framework of national philosophy. It further offerssome alternatives concept and interpretation of the theological-philosophical basis of the process in the integration of Islam and Pancasila. Pancasila is not only the state ideology but it also represents a theological-philosophical construction encompassing Islamic principles. It signifies vision of Islam, which provides the understanding that the formulation of Pancasila idea is in fact inspired by Islamic concepts and values. It comprises the vision of Islam in its treatise. However, both concepts existentially have autonomous rights. It imply that Islam is a religion and Pancasila is ideology. Pancasila will not be a religion and religion will not be an ideology. ملخص:اندونيسيا كدولة وطنية مع وجود التعددية قد قررت المبادئ الخمسة (بانجاشيلا) كأيديولوجية الدولة. وكان بانجاشيلا يصور نتيجة الفكرة والتاريخ الطويل من كفاح سكان الإندونيسيا. فهي تحتوي على القيم النبيلة للأمة وتحافظ على روح كفاح الأمة. ولكن حينما حدث العديد من فشل الحكومة في إدارة البلاد فهناك بعض الجماعات المتطرفة التي ترغب في تغيير بانجاشيلا بالشريعة الإسلامية، بل كانت هذه الجماعة دعى أن بانجاشيلا وثلاثة مبادئ أخرى بأيديولوجية طاغوت. وتهدف هذه المقالة بناء معنى جديد للعلاقة والتكامل بين الإسلام وبانجاشيلا في إطار الفلسفة الوطنية. وفي نفس الوقت يحاول الكاتب لتقديم الفكر الجديد والتفسير عن الأساس اللاهوتي والفلسفي لعملية الاندماج بين الإسلام وبانجاشيلا. وهكذا، يمكن أخذ الاستنتاج أن بانجاشيلا هي أوسع من مجرد بناء الأيديولوجية للدولة الوطنية، ولكنها تصور أيضا عن البناء الفلسفي اللاهوتي الذي يحتوي على المبادئ الإسلامية. وحتى كانت بانجاشيلا تتضمن على جميع رؤية الإسلام التي تعطي على فكرة بانجاشيلا التي مصدرها من المفاهيم الإسلامية وقيمها. إذن كل ما احتوى فى بانجاشيلا مناسبة برؤية الإسلام. ولكن لكل منهما حقوقا مستقلة، وهذا يعني أن الإسلام دين وبانجاشيلا أيديولوجية ولن تكون بانجاشيلا دينا وكذلك الدين لن يكون إيديولوجيا. Abstrak: Indonesia sebagai negara-bangsa dengan segala komposisi pluralitas di dalamnya, telah menetapkan Pancasila sebagai ideologi negara. Pancasila adalah hasil konseptualisasi dan sejarah panjang perjuangan bangsa Indonesia. Di dalamnya memuat nilai-nilai bangsa yang luhur dan menyimpan spirit perjuangan bangsa. Namun, seiring dengan banyaknya kegagalan pemerintah dalam membangun negara, terdapat kelompok-kelompok ekstremis yang ingin mengubah Pancasila dengan Syariat Islam. Bahkan kelompok tersebut menyebut Pancasila beserta tiga pilar lainnya sebagai ideologi “taghut”. Tulisan ini bermaksud membangun makna dan pemahaman baru atas relasi maupun integrasi antara Islam dengan Pancasila dalam kerangka falsafah kebangsaan. Sekaligus berusaha menawarkan alternatif pemikiran dan interpretasi mengenai basis teologis-filosofis proses integrasi Islam dan Pancasila. Sehingga, dapat disimpulkan bahwa Pancasila lebih dari sekadar bangunan ideologi negara-bangsa, tetapi juga merepresentasikan suatu konstruk teologis-filosofis yang memuat prinsip-prinsip keislaman. Bahkan apa yang diusung oleh Pancasila secara keseluruhan termasuk visi Islam, yang memberikan pemahaman bahwa perumusan ide Pancasila sejatinya diilhami oleh konsep dan nilai-nilai keislaman. apa yang diusung oleh Pancasila secara keseluruhan menjadi visi Islam dalam risalahnya. Hanya saja keduanya secara eksistensial memiliki hak otonomi tersendiri. Artinya bahwa Islam adalah agama dan Pancasila adalah ideologi. Pancasila tidak akan menjadi agama dan agama tidak akan menjadi ideologi. Keywords: Integrated, Pancasila, Islam, The State Ideology

Qur'anic exegesis occupies a central position in the development of the intellectual traditions of Muslims. As a primary source, the Qur'an for centuries have been explored and understood using a variety of approaches and methods to satisfy every need of the times. The dominance model of textual interpretation in the tradition of interpretation of the Qur'an throughout the history of Islam, has been moving Abdullah Saeed a Professor of Islamic Studies University of Melbourne, to offer an alternative model of "contextual interpretation" as a model approach in interpreting the Qur'an that more sensitive to context. Because textual interpretation models tend to ignore the socio-historical context period of revelation as well as the context of the interpretation of the period. This paper specifically focused to analyze methodological aspects of thought's Abdullah Saeed in conducting the contextualize interpretation of the Qur'an. In General, Saeed offers four contextual interpretation of operational steps, that is: 1) identify initial considerations by understanding the interpreter subjectivity, language and construct meaning, and the world of the Qur'an (encounter with the world of the text); 2) start the task of interpretation by means of identifying the meaning of the original text and convinced of the authenticity and reliability of the text (critical analysis of texts independently); 3) identify the meaning of the text by exploring each context (meaning for the first recipient); 4) hooking the interpretation of the text with the current context (process of contextualize, meaning for the present).Tafsir al-Qur'an menempati posisi sentral dalam perkembangan tradisi intelektual umat Islam. Sebagai sumber utama, al-Qur'an selama berabad-abad telah dieksplorasi dan dipahami menggunakan berbagai macam pendekatan dan metode untuk memenuhi setiap kebutuhan zaman. Dominasi model penafsiran tekstual dalam tradisi penafsiran al-Qur'an sepanjang sejarah Islam, telah menggerakkan Abdullah Saeed, seorang guru besar Islamic Studies Universitas Melbourne, untuk menawarkan alternatif model penafsiran "kontekstual" yaitu sebuah model pendekatan dalam menafsirkan al-Qur'an yang lebih peka konteks. Karena model penafsiran tekstual Millatī Millatī cenderung mengabaikan konteks sosio-historis masa pewahyuan maupun konteks masa penafsiran. Tulisan ini secara khusus difokuskan untuk menganalisis aspekaspek metodologis pemikiran Abdullah Saeed dalam melakukan kontekstualisasi penafsiran al-Qur'an. Secara umum, Saeed menawarkan empat langkah operasional penafsiran kontekstual, yaitu: 1) mengidentifikasi pertimbangan-pertimbangan awal dengan memahami subjektivitas penafsir, mengkonstruksi bahasa dan makna, dan dunia al-Qur'an (perjumpaan dengan dunia teks); 2) memulai tugas penafsiran dengan cara mengidentifikasi maksud original (asli) teks dan meyakini otentisitas serta reliabilitas teks (analisis kritis teks secara independen); 3) mengidentifikasi makna teks dengan mengeksplorasi setiap konteksnya (makna bagi penerima pertama);...

This paper aims to examine Ahmad Syafii Maarif’s inclusive thought and reveal the epistemological basis of interpreting the Qur’an. It further explores to what extent Maarif’s thought has contributed to the development of contemporary Quranic studies. Although Maarif is not an expert of Quranic commentator (mufassir) and does not author works related to the Qur’an, he is well-known as an inclusive-pluralist Muslim scholar who is concerned with promoting the moral-ethical values of the Qur’an. In formulating the ideas of the Quranic epistemology, Maarif consistently embarks from an in-depth exploration of historical knowledge and then refers to the Qur’an to examine a contemporary reality. This approach was connected by forming the world-view of the Qur’an in order to propose the spirit of moral ethics and the principle of justice as a theological lens which he then use to generate creative-alternative solutions dealing with the nation’s problems through a process of contextualization. Maarif’s Quranic epistemology affirms his project to achieve an idealistic Islam, namely the realization of a Muslim community that is consistently guided by the spirit of the moral ethics of the Qur’an.

This paper aims to provide a perspective of sociology of the Qur’an in the development of religious harmony. This thought was motivated by a phenomenon in which Islam appears with a hardened face. The syndrome of Islamic populism shows an Islamic conservative turn and tends to prioritize formal and normative values in practise. This model is wholly vulnerable causing conflicts both intra and inter-religious. Its exclusive, binary, and aggressive style make Islam inhospitable to the plurality of groups, religions, and cultures. This model of Islam needs to be returned to its face which is inclusive, ecumenical and accommodating to diversity based on the values of the Qur'an. So this agenda requires reformulation of Islamic doctrines that have been considered established. In conclusion, this study argues that although the Qur'an supports the agenda of mission activities, it compulsively requires a dialogic-communicative process. Thus, the Qur'an's greatest contribution to the development of harmonization of diverse people lies in its inclusive and accommodating character to diversity. The principles developed by the Qur’an can be covered through various approaches, both sociological and theological. Sociologically, the Qur'an encourages humanity to jointly declare universal values in every religious activity. These values become the basis of the necessity of each religious community to be willing and able to create a space of togetherness and dialogue to formulate humanitarian agendas. Theologically, the Qur’an does not erase pre-Islamic religions implying that the Qur’an supports diversity and commands humans to always compete in the framework of goodness (religion).

AbstrakIndonesia adalah negara majemuk dengan berbagai macam suku, golongan dan agama. Potensi terjadinya konflik akibat perbedaan, dapat menyebabkan terjadinya disintegrasi bangsa. Realitas yang terjadi di masyarakat, justru banyak konflik yang terjadi dipicu oleh agama. Sikap eksklusif dari masing-masing pemeluk agama, muncul karena kesalahan pemahaman terhadap substansi agama. Untuk itulah dibutuhkan sebuah pemahaman baru mengenai sikap yang harus dilakukan oleh manusia terhadap pluralitas yang ada. Al-Qur'an sebagai pedoman hidup, harus dipahami dan ditafsirkan dengan mengedepankan pesan moral Al-Qur'an. Tulisan ini berusaha untuk memberikan pandangan tentang paradigma baru etika Islam terhadap komunitas lain (the others) dalam konteks kehidupan sosial kemasyarakatan. Hal ini bertujuan untuk membentuk pandangan dunia Islam (weltanschauung) berdasarkan asas rahmatan lil alamin. Dengan mengoptimalkan rumusan metodologi tafsir kontekstualis (contextualist interpretation) yaitu penafsiran Al-Qur'an yang tidak hanya memperhatikan aspek bahasa Al-Qur'an, melainkan juga aspek kritis sosiohostoris masa pewahyuannya. Dalam hal ini berarti mencoba untuk menghidupkan spirit profetis (kenabian), atau dengan bahasa lain, bagaimana kira-kira Nabi akan berbuat dan memberikan solusi, jika ia hidup pada zaman saat ini. Sehingga didapatkan kesimpulan bahwa etika Muslim terhadap the others adalah sikap cooperatif dalam memajukan peradaban umat manusia.Indonesian is a diverse country with a variety of ethnic, class and religion. The potential for conflict over differences, can lead to disintegration of the nation. Reality is happening in the community, just a lot of conflict fueled by religion. Exclusive attitude of each religion, appears due to improper understanding of the substance of religion. For that we need a new understanding about the attitudes that must be done by humans to the existing plurality. Al-Qur'an as a guide to life, must be understood and interpreted by promoting the moral message of the Koran. This paper seeks to provide a view of the new paradigm of Islamic ethics to other communities (the others) in the context of social life. It aims to establish Islamic worldview (Weltanschauung) is based on the principle of rahmatan lil alamin. By optimizing the formulation methodology contextualist interpretation (contextualist interpretation) that the interpretation of the Koran is not just taking care of the language of the Koran, but also the critical aspects of socio-hostorical period of revelation. In this case means trying to revive the prophetic spirit (Prophethood), or with other languages, what would the Prophet will do and provide solutions, if he lived in the days of the moment. So it was concluded that the ethics of Muslims against the others is the attitude cooperatif in advancing human civilization.
