RELIGIOUS SPLINTER MOVEMENT FROM HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
Abstract: This article tries
to analyze splinter groups of Islamic
religion in Indonesia. Islamization in Indonesia has been building in the
framework of universal values that containes democracy, i.e. hifdz-din,
hifdz-nafs, hifdz-nasl, hifdz-mal, and hifdz-aql. Political change occurred in
1998 had triggered the emergence of splinters of Islamic religion; they
were Salamullah, Isa Bugis, Baha’i, Madi
in Palu, Qur’an Suci, and al-Qiyadah al-Islamiyah. They used atmosphere of pluralism
and inclusivism to form their splinters’ community of religion. But, Ahmadiyah
in historical perspective is different, because Ahmadiyah had existed before
Indonesian Independence, and took part in resisting against Western colonization.
The believe code of splinters of Islamic religion are deviant. They do not
accepted Muhammad as the last prophet, change ‘shahadat’ and ‘shalat’. However,
some people do not agree to punish or accuse them as being “sesat (deviant)”,
because there still some chances to conversion.
