AbstractIn Malaysia, there are still a number of small minority groups living far from urban areas. They are called Orang Asli. The life system is still very simple and underdeveloped. This native place is often targeted by da'wah and other religious approaches each year. Until recently the emergence of a statement from the humanitarian group, namely Pro Human Rights (Proham), which refused to preach the native people. As well as criticizing the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) for the involvement of indigenous propaganda. Then this issue received support from a group of liberals in Malaysia. They argue that these activities have usurped the right to freedom of religion. This statement shows that there are acts of discrimination against Islam. Because it is only addressed to the propaganda of Islam, does not offend and dispute other religions.Keywords: Liberals, Caucasians, Indigenous Peoples, Malaysia. AbstrakDi Negara Malaysia, masih ada sejumlah kelompok kecil minoritas yang hidup jauh dari perkotaan. Mereka ini disebut dengan Orang Asli. Sistem kehidupannya pun masih sangat sederhana dan terbelakang. Tempat orang asli ini sering dijadikan target dakwah dan pendekatan agama lain di setiap tahunnya. Hingga baru-baru ini munculnya pernyataan dari kelompok kemanusiaan, yaitu Pro Hak Asasi Manusia (Proham) yang menolak dakwah terhadap orang asli tersebut. Serta mengecam pihak Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) atas terlibatnya dakwah orang asli. Kemudian isu ini mendapat dukungan dari sekelompok orang liberal di Malaysia. Mereka berpendapat bahwa kegiatan tersebut telah merampas hak kebebasan beragama. Pernyataan yang dibuat ini menunjukkan adanya tindakan diskriminasi terhadap agama Islam. Karena hanya ditujukan kepada dakwah agama Islam, tidak menyinggung dan mempermasalahkan agama lainnya.Kata Kunci: Liberal, Dakwah, Orang Asli, Malaysia.

State Relations

This paper will examine the contestation between religion and land rights in state and indigenous people’s relations in Indonesia from the perspective of national and International Laws. This paper will depart from the recent development of state recognition of customary law based on the Constitutional Court (MK) decision No. 35/2012 that state customary forest is not under the state forest. This paper will explain the significance of advocating Freedom of Religion or Belief for forest conflict and resonsidering to encompassing the land rights as part of Religious Rights for Indigenous People in Indonesia. To build the argument, this paper initially discuss on the discourse on the land rights in Indonesia, which is divided into two main sub topic, namely, a brief discussion on human rights for indigenous peoples from the perspective of national and international law. Furthermore, this paper will describe case studies of Orang Rimba in Jambi that will be consist of the belief of their indigenous religion and the particular problem of conflict of land and forest. The paper argues that land and religion constitute a unity for indigenous peoples who adhere to belief. This means that if buildings and lands as spiritual and worship place disappear then indigenous peoples will lose the right to worship according to the beliefs they believe. In fact, worship is a right attached to every citizen who cannot be reduced (non derogable rights) and should be protected and respected by the state. In conclusion, this paper will offers customary management in Indonesia through advocacy of freedom of religion or belief (FORB).

Majority of the indigenous people who are the original inhabitants in Malaysia inhibit the remote area of tropical forest which is rich in natural resources. Their lives are separated from the outside community due to several factors such as geography, low literacy, negative perceptions of the surrounding community, and the closed-door attitude of the indigenous people. Consistent preaching activities have changed the faith of the indigenous people from animism orientation towards believing in the Oneness of God. The practice of Islam as a way of life in the lives of indigenous peoples is found to be difficult to practice because the fiqh approach presented to them does not celebrate their local condition. In this regard, this study will examine the socio-cultural isolation of indigenous peoples and their impact on the interpretation of Islamic law. To achieve this objective, the researchers have applied the library research method by referring to the literatures related to the discussion of Islamic scholars in various disciplines of fiqh and usūl al-fiqh. The research found that there is rukhsah and taysir approach given to isolated people as well as with local background to facilitate the religious affairs of the indigenous people. Abstrak Majoriti masyarakat Orang Asli yang merupakan penduduk asal di semenanjung Malaysia mendiami kawasan pedalaman di hutan hujan tropika yang kaya dengan khazanah alam. Kehidupan mereka terasing daripada masyarakat luar disebabkan beberapa faktor seperti geografi, kadar literasi yang rendah, pandangan negatif masyarakat sekitar dan sikap tertutup masyarakat Orang Asli. Gerakan dakwah yang dijalankan secara konsisten telah membawa perubahan kepercayaan sebahagian masyarakat Orang Asli daripada berorientasikan animisme kepada mempercayai Tuhan yang Esa. Pengamalan Islam sebagai cara hidup dalam kehidupan masyarakat Orang Asli didapati agak sukar untuk dipraktikkan lantaran pendekatan fiqh yang disampaikan kepada mereka tidak meraikan suasana setempat mereka. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini akan meneliti keadaan isolasi sosio-budaya masyarakat Orang Asli dan kesannya terhadap pentafsiran hukum Islam. Bagi mencapai objektif tersebut, pengkaji menggunakan kajian kepustakaan sepenuhnya dengan menelusuri literatur berkaitan dengan perbincangan sarjana Islam dalam pelbagai disiplin ilmu fiqh dan usul fiqh. Hasil kajian mendapati terdapat rukhsah dan pendekatan taysir diberikan kepada mereka yang hidup terasing serta berlatar belakang budaya setempat bagi memudahkan urusan keagamaan masyarakat Orang Asli.
