KONTEKSTUALISASI PEMIKIRAN KH. HASYIM ASY’ARI TENTANG PERSATUAN UMAT ISLAM

Abstract

Abstract: Persatuan umat Islam adalah aplikasi ajaran Islam tentang persaudaraan sesama Muslim (ukhuwah Islâmîyah). Pluralitas kultural umat Islam telah menjadi resistensi tersendiri bagi implementasi doktrin tersebut dalam masyarakat Muslim. Di Indonesia, keragaman mazhab, organisasi dan aliran politik telah melahirkan disintegrasi umat. Beragam konflik intern umat Islam menjadi bukti disintegrasi tersebut. Tulisan ini mengkaji gagasan KH. Hasyim Asy`ari tentang persatuan umat Islam. Penulis menemukan bahwa gagasan tentang persatuan umat Islam KH. Hasyim Asy`ari didasari oleh tauhid dan anti fanatisme dalam masyarakat Muslim. Kenyataan bahwa disintegrasi menjadi problem dunia Islam kontemporer telah membuat ide KH. Hasyim Asy`ari menjadi urgen, dan dapat menjadi solusi alternatif bagi problem umat tersebut.
