ISLAM DAN AHL AL-KITAB: Kajian Living Sunnah di Kalangan Pimpinan NU, Muhammadiyah dan Hizbut Tahrir Malang
ABSTRACT: This study aims at
understanding the perception of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), Muhammadiyah and Hizb
al-Tahrir leaders in Malang, East Jawa, about the relation of Islam with Ahl
al-Kitāb, includes their implications toward social life. The result shows that
there are varied concepts on the meaning of Ahl al-Kitāb. According to NU and
Muhammadiyah, Ahl al-Kitāb are Jewish and Christian community who still or not recognize
the oneness of Allah. Conversely, Hizbut Tahrir state that the term refers
merely to Jewish and Christian who embrace the “genuine” theological system. In
understanding the hadis, the three organizations are polarized into three
models; combining pure Islamic sciences with modern sciences as performed by
the NU’s followers (Nahdhiyin); applying contextual approach and modern
sciences as used by Muhammadiyah; and focusing on text as Hizbut Tharir
choose. However, although the three organizations have different understanding
on the concept of Ahlal-Kitab, they they have no objection to establish social
relationship with them.
