Abstract
This study aims at reducing, and even eliminating, the thoughts of small Muslim groups in Indonesia, which state that the replacement of Pancasila as a Khilafah will raise the Indonesian state to become a developed country. This study uses a normative legal research methodology with two approaches: a historical and a conceptual approach. The historical approach was used to review the history of the implementation of the Khilafah system in Islam and the early history of the emergence of Pancasila as a national government system. Meanwhile, the conceptual approach was used as a road map to examine the Khilafah and Pancasila concepts in the constitutional system. The results of this study revealed that Pancasila represents the Indonesian nation’s ideology, which is in tune with Islamic law, and can answer all the needs of its people. Through Pancasila, the Indonesian people can live in harmony amidst existing pluralism. Therefore, there is no space for ideology other than Pancasila to fill and become the foundation of the Indonesian nation.Contribution: This article attempts to answer Muslim people’s doubts with extremist ideology who want to change Pancasila into Khilafah. No movement seeks to change the Pancasila government system with other government systems.
Highlights
The Khilafah system is still a hot topic to be discussed in the state administration system in Indonesia
As quoted by Ali Abdul Raziq, said that Khilafah is a term relating to the replacement of Rasulullah SAW to enforce the laws and regulations and preserve the values of Islamic teachings through a line of command that must be followed (Ali 1985)
Based on the explanation described in this article, we can conclude that Pancasila represents the ideology of Indonesian nation, which reflects the nation’s culture
Summary
The Khilafah system is still a hot topic to be discussed in the state administration system in Indonesia. The thoughts, pros and cons concerning the implementation of the Khilafah system in Indonesia triggered this condition. The pro-argument states that Indonesia’s current democratic system cannot provide justice and prosperity to all Indonesians. Likewise, they believe that implementing the Khilafah system can provide justice and prosperity to all Indonesian people. The contra group argues that the implementation of the Khilafah system in Indonesia is not under the Indonesian people’s culture. Indonesian society, which tends to be pluralistic, is in tune with implementing the current democratic system, which places Pancasila as its foundation (Munadzir 2017)
