Abstract
In the modern era, it emerges a movement wanting to reject the concept of nationalism and replace it with the idea of islamic khilāfah, since nationalism only makes humans become worse. The spirit of life is based solely on competition of hatred and evil (xenophobia). This is caused by reality, since the growing nationalism is not based on the Qur’an, but it only inherits the West. With textual and contextual analysis of the verses of nationalism, this paper presented nationalism in the perspective of Qur’an through verses about the state and nation. This paper wants to examine how nationalism is desired by Qur’an and how relevant it is to the nationalism of Indonesian people. The result, the nationalism desired by Qur’an is a spirit of nationality, not nationalism based on pride. Quranic nationalism makes the nation compete with other nations in the world in achieving common goals. This is relevant to the spirit of Indonesian nationalism, at least there are three principles matching it, namely unity, justice and prosperity.

Summary
Tidak bisa diingkari bahwa setiap manusia memiliki semangat mencintai tempat di mana mereka tumbuh di dalamnya. Hal itu berbeda dengan panislamisme, yaitu sebuah faham yang memperjuangkan persatuan, kesejahteraan dan kemajuan bagi seluruh umat se-dunia, khususnya Islam, tanpa dibatasi oleh wilayah-wilayah tertentu sebagaimana bentuk negara-bangsa dalam konsep nasionalisme.(8). Menurutnya melalui konsep nasionalisme satu sama lain antar bangsa dapat berlomba-lomba dalam kebaikan, sebagaimana itu merupakan salah satu misi Islam dan Al-Quran.(12) Hal ini juga didukung oleh Iqbal, Cendekiawan Pakistan kontemporer, yang menyatakan bahwa nasionalisme tidak akan memecah belah persatuan umat Islam. Grosby dalam karyanya menyatakan bahwa semua nasionalisme yang tumbuh di dunia pada saat ini bersifat chauvinisme dan xenophobia, sebab menurutnya bangsa mana saja dipastikan memiliki keinginan untuk unggul dan menguasai bangsa-bangsa lain.(15). Dalam satu sisi nasionalisme masih ditentang oleh sebagian umat Islam dengan klaim akan memecah belah umat muslim, dan disisi lain nasionalisme yang berkembang pada saat ini justru cenderung bersifat xenophobia dan chauvinisme, yakni mengangap remeh bangsa-bangsa lain, bahkan memiliki ambisi untuk menjajahnya.(15). Di bawah ini akan dijelaskan secara global latar belakang munculnya nasionalisme baik di wilayah Barat atau Timur, dan termasuk di negaranegara Asia, tidak terkecuali nasionalisme di Indonesia
