This article dissects the Abdullah Saeed’s notion on Progressive Islam. According to him, progressive Moslem is someone or a group that believes that the socio-religious changes in the contemporary era will not find a solution if the old paradigm of the methodology in the form of devices, without the integrative-interconnective process performed with contemporary scientific disciplines. Therefore, there is a substantive difference between the contemporary problems and the classical problems. In this regard, Saeed offers seven methodologies reinterpret religious texts. First, give attention to the context and dynamics of the socio-historical. Second, realize that there are some topics that are not covered by the Qur because the time has not arrived at the time of the decline. Third, realize that every reading of the scriptures should be guided by the principles of compassion, fairness and honesty. Fourth, know that the Qur recognize a hierarchy of values. Fifth, knowing that it is allowed to move from one concrete example of the generalization. Sixth, should be careful in using other texts of the classical tradition, especially with regard to its authenticity. Seventh, the main focus on the needs of contemporary Moslems.Copyright (c) 2016 by Al-Ihkam. All right reservedDOI: 10.19105/al-ihkam.v10i2.722

Islamic and political discourse in Indonesia has had a long experience. Since Indonesia’s independence, the discourse on political Islam has become a fundamental conversation, especially at the beginning of independence. The conversation continued well in the New Order era and got strengthened in the era of bureaucratic reform. If in the New Order era, political Islam was strongly suppressed, so that it had almost no land to develop, then in the era of bureaucratic reform it became even stronger. The emergence of radical and extreme Islamic groups marked the growing strength of the Islamic era which carried the Khil?fah movement. In the midst of this reality, moderate Islam emerged, which carried the theme of Nusantara Islam and Progressive Islam. Both of them were imaginatively contemplated by the Nur Syam with the conception of Progressive Nusantara Islam projected to be a permanent solution to overcome the radical Islam in Indonesia.

This study aims to describe the progressive Islam emerging in Muhammadiyah and to elaborate it in the view of Muhammadiyah. The results of this study are: 1) Islamic terms and ideas “progressive” substantially and historically are not new, because they are attached to the presence of the Muhammadiyah since its birth, and became popular when it was used as the theme of the 47th Muhammadiyah Congress in Makassar, “Movement for Change Towards Progressive Indonesia”; 2) Progressive Islam sows the seeds of truth, kindness, peace, justice, benefit, prosperity, and the virtue of living dynamically for all humanity; Islam that upholds the glory of men and women without discrimination. Progressive Islam is a vision of Islam of Muhammadiyah that is not bound by the dimensions of space and time.

Abstract. This study examines the origin,  existence, and development of Islamism group in Indonesia since pre-independence until now. Islamism is a group of Muslims who are obedient to the teachings of Islam, but they are very extreme, literal,  static and rigid in understanding the teachings of Islam (Alquran), and reject to the other Muslims who disagree with Islamic ideology that they have embraced. The group of Islamism existed and emerged in Indonesia, it was not apart from the influence of the spread of Islamic teachings from al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun that was founded by Hasan al-Banna in Egypt in 1928. The group of Islamism was the first Muslim group before the other Muslim groups in Indonesia; such as the Pos-Islamism group, the Liberal Islam Group, the Moderate Islamic Group, the Progressive Islam Group. The group of Islamism in Indonesia—as al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun in Egypt who aspires to spread the ideology of Islam for all of the world—seeks  to spread  their ideology with the movement of "creeping up" for all of the area in Indonesian, since before independence until now. Islamist groups succeeded in spreading Islam and Sharia through mosques, schools, ta'lim majlis. The existence and development of Islamist groups in Indonesia today are flattered. They have very much support from the political elite. However, they are not aware that their hands are being borrowed or exploited by political elites to seize or get the  power in irrational ways. Keywords: Islamism, Emergence, Existence, Development, Indonesia. Abstrak. Studi ini membahas tentang asal usul, eksistensi dan perkembangan kelompok Islamisme di Indonesia sejak pra-kemerdekaan sampai sekarang. Kelompok Islamisme adalah kumpulan Muslim yang patuh terhadap ajaran Islam, namun mereka sangat ekstrem, literal, statis dan kaku dalam memahami ajaran Islam (Alquran), serta menolak golongan Muslim lain yang berbeda dengan faham Islam yang sudah mereka anut. Kelompok Islamisme ada dan muncul di Indonesia tidak terlepas dari pengaruh penyebaran ajaran Islam ala  al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun yang didirikan oleh Hasan al-Banna di Mesir pada tahun 1928. Kelompok Islamisme merupakan kelompok Muslim yang pertama ada sebelum adanya kelompok-kelompok Muslim lain di Indonesia; seperti kelompok Pos-Islamisme, Kelompok Islam Liberal, Kelompok Islam Moderat, Kelompok Islam Progresif. Kelompok Islamisme di Indonesia –sebagaimana al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun di Mesir yang bercita-cita menyebarkan faham berislam ke seluruh dunia—berupaya menyebarkan paham Islamisme dengan gerakan “merayap” ke seluruh bumi Indonesia sejak sebelum Indonesia merdeka sampai sekarang. Kelompok Islamisme berhasil menyebarkan faham Islam dan Syariah melalui, antara lain:  masjid-masjid, sekolah-sekolah, majelis-majelis taklim. Eksistensi dan perkembangan kelompok-kelompok Islamisme di Indonesia zaman ini sedang merasa tersanjung, karena banyak mendapat dukungan dari para elit politik. Namun sebaliknya, mereka tidak sadar bahwa tangan-tangan mereka sedang dipinjam atau pun dimanfaatkan oleh para elit politik untuk merebut atau pun mendapatkan sebuah kekuasaan dengan cara-cara yang tidak rasional. Kata Kunci: Islamisme, Eksistensi, Kemunculan,  Perkembangan, Indonesia.

The chapter constitutes a critical analysis of how the theme of sexuality is addressed within the framework of a ‘theology of compassion’ put forward by the South African organisation Positive Muslims. The organisation’s explicit aim with this theology is to provide an ideological underpinning to HIV/AIDS activism in order to combat both the spread of the disease and the stigmatisation of those affected. The chapter argues that the specific features of the ‘theology of compassion’, and the manner in which sexuality is approached, cannot be fully understood if it is seen merely as a local African ‘faith-based’ response to HIV/AIDS. A set of factors of a transnational character, outlined and discussed in the text, influence and shape it. Of particular relevance are the connections between Positive Muslims and the contemporary hermeneutical transnational network of Progressive Islam.
