Tafsir: Crossing the Islamic divide
Wednesday, 02 July 2008

More than 20 years ago a student of the Walisongo State Institute of Islamic Study in Semarang got into an argument with his friends about which political party would win the general election.

The young man confidently said the winner would be Golkar or the Indonesian Democratic Party (PDI), which later became known as the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P).

"Because they were the only two parties that were not Islam-based," said Tafsir, now 44, recalling his past.

THE ROLE OF RELIGION IN COMBATTING VIOLENCE
Thursday, 26 June 2008

ByAhmad Syafii Maarif

Introduction

          If all religions are, theoretically and theologically, anti-violence and pro-peace, why did many of their followers in certain eras of history for certain reasons commit violence, terrorism, and even war? To explore tentative answers to this challenging and crucial question is the main focus of this brief paper, viewed particularly from an Islamic perspective.

 

Islam as a peaceful religion and the reality of history

          Let’s see first why Bertrand Russell so strongly and sharply criticized the harmful operation of religions in human history by concluding: “I think all the great religions of the world--Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, and Communism--both untrue and harmful.”[1] I hope the believers should not immediately get mad by this statement, because what Russell said is also based on the hard fact of history. But, of course, we cannot accept his hastening generalization as if all religions are not more than a burden of mankind by ignoring their positive dimensions as one of the perennial foundations of human civilization. As an ardent agnostic, Russell seems deliberately to deny the important side of a religion as to remind men of something deep and fundamental that philosophy and science cannot offer any final say. Take for example, on the meaning of life and death. At the most, philosophy can only give a speculative answer to the question of the ultimate goal of human life: to seek happiness here in this world, while life in the hereafter is fully beyond the reach of both science and philosophy. Here religions enter to give the answer.

Menurut Ivan A Hadar yang mewakili dewan juri malam itu pemilihan Tafsir salah satunya karena kiprahnya terlibat intens bersama kelompok-kelompok marginal seperti waria, korban narkoba dan penderita schizoprenia. “Muhammadiyah untuk semua, Islam untuk semua” ungkap Tafsir dalam sambutannya setelah menerima Tropi Maarif Award dari pendiri Ma’arif Institute Prof. Syafii Maarif.
