Jurisprudence: Interpretation of Nahdaltul Ulama's Political Behavior

Abstract

The politics of the people are often identified with their lives in the state. This understanding gave rise to a prolonged discourse on the relationship between state and religion. The purpose of this study is to study, analyze and interpret from fiqh studies related to the interpretation of Nahdlatul Ulama's political behavior. This research is a literature research or revive literature using descriptive analytical methods. Data collection is carried out by listening and recording techniques. Analysis is carried out by means of data collection, (2) data reduction, and (3) presentation. The results of this study show that the religious symbols stated by Nahdlatul Ulama turned out to be upon closer examination is not surprising, because this organization is very tied to the concepts of formal legal thinking (fiqh) that must be implemented, and if not, contain other legal consequences. These religious symbols have a deeper meaning in their world. The idealistic state is transcendental, and when viewed from their religious discourse it must be created and implemented. Religious symbols in addition to having idealistic meanings, also consciously or unconsciously have political meanings, for the existence of Nahdlatul Ulama, which is sometimes designed and deliberate by Nahdlatul Ulama itself.
