Pandangan Abdurrahman Wahid tentang Relasi Islam dan Negara: Pendekatan Sosio-Kultural
Abstract: Abdurrahman Wahid
introduces a socio-cultural approach to deal with the issue of the relationship
between Islam and state. The approach is a kind of modification to the Fiqh
approach advocated by Nahdhatul Ulama (NU) to suit it to the development of
modern sciences as well as to understand the latter based on Islamic cosmology.
According to him, Islamic identity is Islamic cosmology which views the spirit
and the material intermingling in the worldly life. Accordingly Muslim should
respond to the issues of modernity based on this Islamic tradition with the
hope to direct the modernity discourses. By so doing it will help to mediate
the conflict of ideologies based on its belief that “the normative”
intermingles with “the particular” and as consequences there is no absolute
truth prevailing in this worldly life.
