Abstract

The purpose of this article is to reveal the problems of friction, conflict, and divisions that occur among Muslims, which are spread across several groups such as Nahdlatul Ulama, Muhammadyah, Jama'ah Islam, Tabligh Jama'ah, Salafi, and Ahmadiyah. In general, each group claims to be the most correct group, so they are trapped in bigotry based on their group, doctrin, tafwa, or their leaders. The method of this study is based on library research in which the approach is carried out in a multi-disciplinary manner, namely through the science of interpretation, hadith, ushul fiqh, and sociology. The method of this study is based on library research in which the approach is carried out in a multi-disciplinary manner, namely through the science of interpretation, hadith, ushul fiqh, and sociology. The results of the study found: 1) Islam highly upholds unity within the ummah. The prohibition of division has been imposed since the time of the prophet before the Prophet Muhammad was sent to the world. Therefore the existence of religious groups should be to strengthen people and religion, so as to try to avoid the perception of a single truth claim, so as not to be trapped in the fanaticism of the group, schools of thought, tafwa, as well as towards their leaders; 2) Unification of religious groups can occur if it is based on intellectual awareness. Because this awareness can penetrate across ideologies, ideologies, schools of thought, and/or cultures. Without this awareness, unification is difficult to achieve; and 3) Intellectual awareness can be achieved through intellectual collaboration between religious group leaders. In fact, this intellectual awareness is a gateway to civil society, which has the characteristics of being open to knowledge, egalitarianism, and equality in the community, respecting human rights, respect for achievements, and being highly civilized and abandoning primordial attitudes.
