Berislam Secara Moderat (Ajaran dan Praktik Moderasi Beragama dalam Islam)

Perbincangan tentang Islam moderat mengemuka bersamaan dengan perkembangan kelompok-kelompok Islam radikal. Tema ini mencapai puncaknya sejak terjadi serangan bom bunuh diri di Amerika Serikat pada 11 September 2001 yang dilakukan kelompok militan Islam Al-Qaeeda. Di Indonesia sendiri perbincangan tentang Islam moderat sudah lama dilakukan, setidaknya sejak pasca reformasi 1998 seiring dengan perkembangan kelompok-kelompok Islam radikal yang selama orde baru terkekang dan tidak mendapatkan ruang di dalam konstelasi politik.

Islam Jalan Tengah

Menjauhi Sikap Berlebihan Dalam Beragam

Para Mukmin sejati memandang Islam sebagai satu-satunya jalan yang lurus (al-shirâth al-mustaqîm). Isu utama mereka adalah bagaimana kaum Muslim melaksanakan Islam secara kâffah (total). Hal ini bisa menimbulkan kesan bahwa dunia di mata mereka hanya berwajah biner: Islam/kafir, thâghût/Allah, haqq/bâthil, jahiliyah/Islami, Dâr Al-Islâm/dâr al-harb, dan seterusnya. Dengan pandangan-dunia semacam itu, bagi sebagian orang, sikap dan tindakan mereka dianggap terlalu simplistik, linier, keras, dan bahkan radikal. Di sisi yang berseberangan, terdapat sebagian Muslim yang longgar, atau bahkan abai, terhadap prinsip-prinsip Islam. Mereka sering menafsirkan ajaran Islam dalam rangka kepentingan-diri mereka sendiri. Mereka lebih dekat pada sekularisme dan ateisme ketimbang pada Islam, bahkan oleh sebagian orang, mereka dianggap telah keluar dari Islam. Yusuf Qardhawi, seorang ulama yang sangat disegani di dunia Muslim, mencoba memetakan pandangan-pandangan yang berkembang di Dunia Islam. Dengan keluasan ilmu, kejernihan argumentasi, dan kelapangan hati, dia menunjukkan bahwa Islam adalah agama yang senantiasa menempuh jalan tengah (wasath), yang membawa rahmat bagi semesta alam (rahmah li al-'âlamîn). Dengan pandangan-dunia itu, Islam menampilkan diri sebagai sebuah agama yang toleran, moderat, adil-tanpa harus kehilangan prinsip-prinsip intrinsiknya. Di dalamnya tersirat pengakuan akan adanya berbagai pandangan, kemungkinan, alternatif, tafsiran tentang Islam yang satu itu.

Sejarah & Kebudayaan Islam Periode Klasik (Abad VII-XII M)

Abad ke-7 sampai ke-13 M merupakan momentum yang sangat bersejarah dalam lintasan sejarah kebudayaan dan peradaban Arab-Muslim. Islam mengalami kemajuan pesat yang ditandai dengan kekuasaan yang sangat luas serta penyatuan antarwilayah Islam. Daulah Abbasiyah di Baghdad (di belahan dunia Timur) dan Daulah Umayyah di Cordova, Andalusia/Spanyol (di belahan dunia Barat) memperlihatkan kemajuan sains, kebudayaan, dan peradaban yang sangat spektakuler. “The Golden Age of Islam. (Masa Keemasan Islam) benar-benar telah menghiasi panggung sejarah dunia pada Abad Klasik tersebut. Buku-buku ilmu pengetahuan Islam yang dihasilkan dan ditulis oleh para sarjana Muslim diterjemahkan secara besar-besaran ke dalam bahasa Barat-Latin. Intensitas persentuhan dan pergumulan Barat dengan peradaban Muslim pada gilirannya menggerakkan munculnya Era Renaissance di Barat pada abad ke-14 M. Era Renaissance pada gilirannya menggerakkan munculnya Era Reformasi dan Era Aufklarung (Pencerahan) pada abad ke-17 M yang kemudian mengantarkan bangsa-bangsa Barat menjadi bangsa yang sangat modern dan canggih di bidang sains dan teknologi. Robert Stephen Briffault, dalam buku terkenalnya yang berjudul The Making of Humanity mengapresiasi kontribusi besar para ilmuwan Muslim terhadap dunia modern. Briffault tanpa ragu mengatakan, “Ilmu pengetahuan adalah sumbangan peradaban Islam yang maha penting kepada dunia modern. Utang ilmu pengetahuan kita kepada ilmu pengetahuan bangsa Arab tidak tergantung kepada penemuan-penemuan teori yang revolusioner: ilmu pengetahuan berutang besar sekali kepada kebudayaan Islam.

Introduction to Islam

"Whether the issue is violence, terrorism, women's rights or slavery, Muslims are today expected to provide answers and to justify what Islam is-or is not. But little opportunity exists, either in the media or in society as a whole, to describe Islam. In simple, direct language, Introduction to Islam introduces readers to Islam and to its principles, rituals, diversity, and evolution. In this book, Tariq Ramadan focuses upon the realities of Islam today. Avoiding ideology and idealism, Ramadan brings to life an essence of the true meaning of Islam and its implications today. No prior knowledge of Islam is required; the book makes the complexity of Islam easy to understand by looking closely at its multi-faceted reality as a religion, and at the civilization that arose from it. The book begins with definitions, and basic principles of Islam. It then delves into history: from the beginnings in the prophetic mission and the Sunni-Shia schism, to the rise of legal schools and the construction of the "Islamic sciences," and to its theological, philosophic mainstream, and mystical (Sufi) undercurrents. The six pillars of faith will also be presented, along with the five pillars of practice, as well as Islam's prescribed rights, duties and prohibitions, the principles of Muslim mysticism and the elements of Islamic philosophy and ethics. The two final chapters focus on the modern era, offering a broad overview of the debates and controversies that are shaking Muslim-majority societies, and reshaping the lives of those who live as minorities elsewhere." --
