Tracing the roots of Muhammadiyah thought on the concepts of Dār Al-‘Ahdi Wa Al-Syahādah

Abstract

This paper aimed to discuss the concept of Dār Al-’Ahd Wa Al-Syahādah initiated by Muhammadiyah, which requires strong historical-normative legitimacy, so it does not necessarily lose its genealogy to be applied to the legal and constitutional system in Indonesia. The big question is how is the relationship between historical aspects and the concept of Dār Al-’Ahd Wa Al-Syahādah so that it has strong foundations to be implemented later in the state and nation. This normative-conceptual research is a historical reflective study that focuses on literacy aspects as the basis to build normative and conceptual constructions. The result reveals that the idea of ​​Dār Al-’Ahd Wa Al-Syahādah in the constellation of Pancasila is a strategy to realize Baldatun Thayyibatun wa Rabbun Ghafur state with the principle of Amar Ma’ruf Nahi Munkar. The concept of Dār Al-’Ahd Wa Al-Syahādah has a reference in Al Maun Theology which from the beginning became the basis of the movement pioneered by KH Ahmad Dahlan. Therefore, this strategy must be directed to a more concrete form and a more concrete movement to realize Baldatun Thayyibatun wa Rabbun Ghafur state.

The Islamic Law-based design of regional head post-filling

“…On the contrary, this post-filling process may also consider lineage and other bases. For sure, the legal construction of this post-filling under the election mechanism has raised a debate over what underlies or dominates the legal construction of post-filling in this purview in Indonesia, leaving the standing of Islamic law questionable (Elvira et al, 2023;Yuli Isdiyanto et al, 2022). Another question is whether the construction of law regarding this post-filling as governed under the constitution is fully sourced from Islamic law, or Islamic law has not been considered at all.…”
