Hizbut Tahrir (The Party of Liberation) is an international pan-Islamic politica<br />l organization. Its goal is to unify all Muslim countries as an Islamic state<br />(caliphate) ruled by shariah. They argued that caliphate and Islamic law should<br />not be separated. Without a caliphate, the sharia application will never be<br />totally accomplished. Factually, these grand themes constitute the global discourse<br />applied by Hizbut Tahrir movements around the world. It becomes<br />the main idea that links their global ideological ground and commonality.<br />Hizbut Tahrir (HT) entered into Indonesia in 1982, through M. Mustofa and<br />Abdurrahman al-Baghdadi. As in another countries, HT got repression from<br />the government. Using a momentum of the reformation era, Hizbut Tahrir<br />Indonesia (HTI) begin to socialize its ideas openly. Even in 2000, they have<br />registered its organization at the Ministry of Domestic Affairs.<br />This study aims to scrutinize the ideas of HTI thinking about political economy,<br />which is devoted to the theory about the relationship between religion, state<br />and economy, as well as the construction of public finances. This study is<br />intended as a historical study of Islamic economic thought. The discourse of<br />the study focuses on three questions. First, how does HTI grow in Indonesia,<br />and why does they flourish? Second, what are the relationship between the religion, the state and the economy according to them? Finally, how is the<br />structure of HTI’s public finances?<br />This qualitative study was an exploratory-analysis. It was intended to analyze<br />key concepts in a plantation of thought that has been documented, both<br />from primary and secondary sources. It is a library research. The sources of<br />the research are in the form of HTI’s works which have been well documented<br />in a large numbers, including in the Pdf formats. The study found that HTI<br />tended to see every current economic problem by reflecting it into the cultural<br />heritage of the past. Related to this, the slogan that they have always<br />been shouted was “Sharia is the only solution.” From this philosophy it can<br />be estimated that HTI’s thoughts of Islamic public finance, will face the problem<br />of contextualization.<br />Hizbut Tahrir (Partai Kemerdekaan) adalah sebuah gerakan politik Islam<br />internasional. Tujuannya adalah untuk menjadikan negara-negara Muslim dalam<br />satu kepemimpinan negara Khilafah yang diatur dengan syariah. Mereka<br />berpendapat bahwa kekhalifahan dan hukum Islam tidak dapat dipisahkan.<br />Tanpa Negara khilafah, syariah tidak dapat diterapkan dengan sempurna.<br />Gagasan utama inilah yang diusung oleh Hizbut Tahrir di seluruh dunia. Gagasan<br />pokok itulah yang mempertemukan idiologi dan pergerakan mereka. Hizbut<br />Tahrir masuk ke Indonesia pada tahun 1982 melalui M. Mustofa dan<br />Abdurrahman al-Bagdadi. Sebagaimana di negara-negara lain, HT mendapat<br />tekanan dari pemerintah. Dengan memanfaatkan momentum era reformasi,<br />HTI mulai mensosialisasikan ide-idenya secara terbuka. Bahkan pada tahun<br />2000 mereka telah mendaftarkan dirinya sebagai organisasi resmi di Depdagri<br />Ditjen Kesatuan Bangsa.<br />Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap gagasan pemikiran HTI tentang<br />ekonomi politik, khususnya mengenai teori hubungan antara agama, negara<br />dan perekonomian, serta mengenai konstruksi keuangan publik. Kajian ini<br />dimaksudkan sebagai studi historis tentang pemikiran ekonomi Islam. Pokok<br />masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah: Pertama, bagaimana HTI tumbuh dan<br />berkembang di Indonesia. Kedua, bagaimanakah hubungan antara agama,<br />Negara dan perekonomian menurut mereka. Ketiga, bagaimanakah struktur<br />keuangan public menurut HTI?<br />Kajian kualitatif ini bersifat eksploratif-analisis, yakni dimaksudkan untuk mengurai dan menganalisa secara mendalam mengenai konsep-konsep kunci<br />dalam pemikiran HTI yang telah terdokumentasikan, baik dari sumber primer<br />maupun sekunder. Berdasar sifatnya, penelitian ini termasuk library research, di<br />mana bahan dan sumber data penelitian ini berupa karya-karya dari tokohtokoh<br />HTI yang telah terdokumentasikan dengan baik dalam jumlah besar,<br />termasuk dalam format Pdf. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa HTI cenderung<br />melihat segala persoalan ekonomi saat ini dengan merefleksikannya pada warisan<br />budaya masa lalu. Terkait dengan hal ini, slogan yang selalu mereka teriakkan<br />adalah “Syariah adalah satu-satunya solusi.” Dari cara berfikir ini dapat diperkirakan<br />bila pemikiran-pemikiran keuangan publik HTI akan menghadapi problem<br />kontektualitas.

This study examines Hamka's political thinking about Islam and the State in the Basic State debate that took place in the Constituent Assembly 1956-1959. Hamka belongs to the basic group of defenders of the Islamic state with Mohammad Natsir in the Masyumi faction, fighting for Islamic law before other factions namely the Nationalists, Communists, Socialists, Catholics-Protestants and members of the Constituent Assembly who are not fractured. Specifically examines the issue of why Islam is fought for as a state basis by Hamka. and how Hamka thought about the relationship between Islam and the state. The research method used is a type of library research with literature studies or documents consisting of primary and secondary data and reinforced by interviews. The theory used in this study is the theory of religious relations (Islam) and the state. This study found the first, according to Hamka, the Islamic struggle as the basis of the state was as a continuation of the historical ideals of the Indonesian national movement. The second was found that the constituent debate was the repetition of Islamic and nationalist ideological debates in the formulation of the Jakarta Charter. Third, this study also found Hamka's view that the One and Only God Almighty means Tauhid or the concept of the Essence of Allah SWT. The implication of this research theory is to strengthen Islamic thinking legally formally, that is thinking that requires Islam formally plays a major role in state life. The conclusion is that Indonesian society is a heterogeneous society in terms of religion. This means that constitutionally the state recognizes the diversity of religions embraced by the Indonesian people and guarantees the freedom of every individual to embrace religion and realize the teachings he believes in all aspects of life. Hamka in the Constituent Assembly stated that the struggle to establish a state based on Islam rather than a secular state for Islamic groups was a continuation of the ideals of historical will.

The general orientation to authority in Moroccan society is associated with dynamics that characterize it at the basic social level. Respect for authority tends to take the form of a syndrome forged in the sphere of convergent styles of family, pedagogical, and professional socialization, before being expressed as political loyalty. This articulation is at the very heart of the theory of congruence developed by Harry Eickstein, and recently taken up by other political scientists. The main idea put forward by the proponents of this theory is that the stability of the government is brought to bear when the models of authority on which it rests enjoy social fascination. The purpose of this article is to study the relationship between respect for authority in the three spheres of social and political work based on World Values Survey (WVS) data on Moroccan society (N = 3651) including the family, workplace, and political world. The examination of the general configuration of the orientation to authority is parameterized according to the individualistic and collectivist profiles constructed in the WVS database, as categorical variables.

Abstract: one of the big issue that is still debatable about the relationship between Islam and politics is how legitimate the democratic political system is in the paradigm of Islamic law. This study will explain the alternative paradigm in evaluating the democratic system based on the paradigm of Islamic law from a prominent Muslim intellectual named Yusuf al-Qaradawi. This research is a qualitative research in the form of literature review. The primary source used is a variety of literature that explains Yusuf al-Qaradawi's thoughts about democracy in Islam. The method used is the method of interpreting the thoughts of the figures with the maqasid al-shari‘ah approach. There are two big conclusions of this research. First, Yusuf al-Qaradawi's view of democracy can be said to be grounded in its epistemological foundation in understanding the concept of an Islamic state. For al-Qaradawi, an Islamic state is a system of government that provides policy improvisation space in the benefit of social, economic and political life based on the objectives of Islamic law (maqasid shari'ah). Second, Yusuf al-Qaradawi's view, the democratic system can be compatible with Islam if the principles in the democratic system are in accordance with various values which are the spirit of the objectives of Islamic law (maqasid shari'ah), such as the value of justice, equality of rights, freedom, etc. so. To realize this, the democratic system must carry a holistic vision and mission, which includes worldly and ukhrawi benefits as well as individual and social benefits.       Keywords: Validity, democracy, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, maqasid shari’ah;
