MENEGUHKAN HARMONI BERAGAMA MELALUI DAKWAH INKLUSIF: ANALISIS ISI DAN RESPON SOSIAL CERAMAH KONTROVERSIAL TENTANG HUKUM ZIARAH MAKAM DI PULAU LOMBOK

A Wahhabi leader's controversial lecture on a grave pilgrimage on the island of Lombok has become the seed of religious conflict and has become a national issue. This paper explores how the pattern of da'wah (delivery of lectures), the response of the community, and its impact on the building of religious harmony. Through a content analysis approach and social response, the paper concludes that first, the da'wah pattern uses a textual approach to the arguments of the Qur'an and Hadith where the topic of discussion is still about ikhtilaf matters that have been around for quite a long time such as the law of tomb pilgrimage, tahlilan, and maulidan. Second, the response of the Lombok Muslim community to the Wahhabi lecture on the Law of religious tourism for pilgrimage pilgrimages was negative, which was marked by the emergence of demonstrations and reporting of the preacher to the police. This response is not only a response to lectures about tomb pilgrimages, but is a response to the da'wah pattern that has been used by the Wahhabi. Third, the lecture on the tomb pilgrimage which received a negative response has become a threat to the building of religious harmony on the island of Lombok. This fact occurs because the understanding of tomb pilgrimage that 'should not' clash with religious traditions which actually 'recommend'. The social conflict that immediately ignited when the lecture went viral became a clear indicator that the Wahhabi da'wah pattern had become a threat to religious disharmony on the island of Lombok. A dialogue of religious understanding is needed to stem the threat of disharmony in order to maintain a harmonious social life. It can be reflected from the three findings that the process of religious da'wah must take into account the historical background and understanding of the target community of da'wah. Issues of ikhtilaf in religious theology should not need to be present in the pulpit of da'wah which is public and open (online). It is hoped that the Wahhabis and Aswaja groups will respect each other and prevent statements that can trigger religious conflicts.

Irreducible Plurality, Indivisible Unity: Singapore Relational Constitutionalism and Cultivating Harmony Through Constructing a Constitutional Civil Religion

AbstractThis Article seeks to explore the nature, function, source, and content of a constitutional civil religion (CCR) within Singapore’s constitutional experiment in managing the diversity of race and religion and promoting solidarity. CCR is constructed as a strategy to secure social harmony within the world’s most religiously diverse polity, through recognizing an irreducible plurality in ethnic and religious terms, while maintaining an indivisible unity through nurturing bonds of citizen solidarity. This dovetails with the function of the constitution as an instrument of social integration, involving the articulation and regular affirmation of shared community values and aspirations, as well as process and practices—or public rituals—which regulate dispute resolution or conflict management during instances or crises where racial and religious harmony is threatened. A functional approach is taken towards the idea of a civil religion, and the tasks of integration, legitimation, and inspiration it may play within a constitutional order. The nature of civil religion in general, and the sources of CCR in Singapore, as well as its expression as a public ritual in managing religious disharmony disputes is discussed.
