RELIGION AND POLITICS IN INDONESIA: THE CASE OF HUMANITARIAN ISLAM

Abstract

Islam has been a primary socio-political force in Indonesia, the country with the largest Muslim population in the world. This study aims to analyze the concept of Humanitarian Islam introduced by Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in 2017 in Indonesia. It involves an analysis of Humanitarian Islam's core mission, the challenges it addresses, and the comprehensive solutions it offers. Additionally, the study explores potential challenges that NU may encounter when implementing Humanitarian Islam and provides assessments of possible solutions to overcome these obstacles. The research methodology involves examining events and initiatives from 2014 to 2018 using the Bayt-ar Rahmah website and primarily employs a descriptive approach. This study holds significance as it investigates a relatively new concept that is anticipated to be a prominent subject in the literature, thoroughly exploring it from multiple perspectives.
