Pandangan Ulama tentang Kepemimpinan dalam Negara Islam
Abstract: 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.
