PEMIKIRAN ABDULLAH SAEED TENTANG RIDDAH DAN HAK ASASI MANUSIA
Abstract: As an intellectual
Moslem, Abdullah Saeed obviously concerns to contemporary issues of Islam. He
attempts to contextualize Islamic values based on faith that Islamic doctrine
is shâlih li kulli zamân wa makân. This attempt appears, for instance, on his
views relating to the concept of riddah (apostasy) and human rights. Saeed
offers what he names as progressive-ijtihadits methodology: a method to
re-interpret religious texts based on necessities of contemporary people. He
uses historical analysis to observe and set the concept of riddah as a sin not
as crime. By using historical analysis, he said, we can examine the concept due
to scientific approach: centripetal and centrifugal. Therefore, the concept of
riddah consists of both ontological and existential problems.
