Konsep dan Gerakan Tawhîd dalam Perspektif Antropologi Agama
Abstrak: One of the special
characteristic of religion is transcendent, holy, absolute and permanent due to
the holy revelation of the divinity and culture is human creation in forms of
relativity due to its dynamic characteristic. Human culture will take a sort of
changing in accordance with the time and space they lived in. Human will have
understanding in accordance with their capability and experience in responding
and practicing dogma according to their belief. In this point, they try to
return to their original form of being oneness or ummah wâh}idah either in
social and theological fields. The concept of ummah wâh}idah is well known with
the tawhîd movement focused on theological and social realm. This paper
attempts to see the religious movement of tawhîd Muh}ammad in anthropological
perspective. It aims to respond the exclusive religious understanding of some
groups in Indonesia in threatening plurality and social integration. The paper
suggests that the movement of tawhîd Muh}ammad is a theological and social
movement. Theological movement maintains that all Semitic religions should be
tied up with the idea of millah Ibrâhîm, not Islamic religion (aqîdah Islâmîyah)
as many salafism argue in the recent days. Besides, the social movement of
tawhîd Muh}ammad means that tawhîd could unite many groups and ethnics of Arab
tribes to build a new face of civilization in more civilized and dynamic.
