Internalisasi Nasionalisme Melalui Pendidikan Islam : Analisa Pemikiran Kh Saifuddin Zuhri

Abstract

The spirit of nationalism today is in need of serious attention. Because, today there have been many groups disturbing the tranquility and harmony of the Unitary State of Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). Ironically, these groups tend to use (Islamic) religious ideologies and symbols to justify their movements. Thus, it is important to internalize the spirit of patriotism in education by re-actualizing the KH Saifuddin Zuhri's thought about nationalism.
 In this study, the writer uses a library research with a qualitative method approach, in order to uncover and describe in depth the KH Saifuddin Zuhri's idea of nationalism in which its relevance to our times needs to be taken into account. Thus, the writer needs to create a focus of research namely; 1) what is the concept of nationalism in the perspective of KH Saifuddin Zuhri? 2) what is the genealogy of KH Saifuddin Zuhri's idea of nationalism and its implementation at that time? 3) what is the relevance of KH Saifuddin Zuhri's thought to education at the present?
 This study could obtain some important findings namely; 1) that the religious values become an absolute element in fueling the spirit of patriotism, so that the pattern of KH Saifuddin Zuhri's nationalism could be categorized religious nationalism, 2) The KH Saifuddin Zuhri's idea of nationalism could successfully be implemented through 5 forms, namely; Islamic, culture, democracy, education and politics. 3) The KH Saifuddin Zuhri's idea of nationalism is clearly in line with the grounding of curriculum used in the so-called K-13, namely the cultural character that is carried in the national education as well as the same spirit on the importance of education orientation aimed at producing nationalist learners through the goals of curriculum and education. The strategy of implementation is by reconstructing education on the aspects of policy (regulatory) and teaching (instructional)
