Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan historis dan mencakupsejarah selama 1900 sampai 1942. Organisasi ini dikenal sebagai bagian darigerakan Islam modern. Namun, strategi dalam pengembangan pemikiran tidaklinier dengan strategi gerakan Islam modern. Dalam praktek, Thawalib inisejalan dengan model strategi neo-modern. Perkembangan Thawalib dalampemikiran Islam tidak selalu membawa para ulama Thawalib untuk membatalkankarya ulama klasik. Namun, pikiran itu membuat mereka menghargai danberpendapat bahwa karya-karya ulama klasik dapat dijadikan sebagai pedomanpemikiran siswa agar menjadi lebih rasional dan dinamis. Strategi Thawalibtelah membuktikan bahwa hal itu memberikan kontribusi yang signifikanterhadap perkembangan reformasi pemikiran Islam di Indonesia.

The topic of Legitimate and Illegitimate Violence in Islamic Thought (LIVIT) calls for an interdisciplinary, comparative and historical approach. This has been the underlying methodological assumption within the project which bore this name. Amongst the products of that three-year project is a series of collected studies by established and emerging scholars in the field, examining how Muslim thinkers have conceptualised violence and categorised (morally and legally) acts of violence. In this opening chapter, István Kristó-Nagy first explores how violence in Islamic thought can be set against a wider consideration of violence in human history. It is this comparative perspective which contextualises not only this volume, but also the two subsequent volumes in the LIVIT series. In the second half of this chapter, Robert Gleave explains how this volume is structured, addressing the different approaches used by the contributors, and examines the different ways in which violence can be categorised.

The 19Th Century

In its history, there has been a strong difference between the doctrine of Sufism and the philosophical Sufism, including Indonesia. In the period of the end of the 16th century until the end of the 19th century even the emergence of the beginning of Islamic intellectualism in Indonesia was brilliantly marked by monumental works. Then, in the era of the 1970s, the discourse of renewing Islamic thought was increasingly being studied. The young generation of educated Muslims in this decade has shown a tendency towards thinking that is no longer normative in view of religion. Very different in the era of mystical and sufistic Islam. So, they tend to be more interested in Islamic understanding based on empirical and historical approaches in the formation of their religious vision. In this paper, a philosophical historical approach will be discussed on the issue of continuity and change in Islamic intellectual discourse in the Malay world of Indonesia and at the same time analyzing broader mystical and philosophical mysticism in Indonesia, friction in it, and efforts to reconcile it.

Jihad and Martyrdom in Islamic Thought and History

In both popular and scholarly literature, jihad is primarily assumed to be a monovalent concept referring to “military/armed combat,” and martyrdom (shahada) is inevitably understood to be of the military kind. This assumption facilitates the discussion of jihad and martyrdom as terms with fixed, universal meanings divorced from the varying sociopolitical contexts in which they have been deployed through time. Such a monovalent understanding of these two concepts emerges primarily through consultation of the juridical literature and official histories that were produced after the 2nd century ce (8th century ah) and that are unduly privileged in academic discussions of this subject. In contradistinction to this approach, a more holistic and historical approach to the term jihad can be undertaken by focusing on the changing significations of jihad from the earliest formative period of Islam to the contemporary period, against the backdrop of specific social and political circumstances which have mediated the meanings of this critical term. This larger objective entails canvassing a more varied genre of texts to recreate a more multifaceted understanding of jihad and martyrdom as dynamic discursive terms through time. Such sources include Qurʾan exegetical works (tafsir), early and late works of hadith which purport to contain the sayings of the prophet Muhammad, the excellences of jihad (fadaʾil al-jihad) and the excellences of patience (fadaʾil al-sabr) literatures, which are often not consulted on this topic. Furthermore, the comparison of early and late sources and texts from these genres allows one to chart both the constancies and changes in the spectrum of meanings and repertoire of activities included under the terms jihad and shahada. This recovery of a broader semantic landscape undermines exclusively martial conceptualizations of both these terms and has important implications for the contemporary period.

It is customary among the Muslims in this nation to criticize abstractlythose who have accepted the burden of da’wu and the program they implement.The most vocal opposition, and the most unreasonable and, therefore,destructive, comes from other Muslims who have not themselves consistentlyput forth the effort required of those involved in du’wu. There is in this nationa tradition of catcalls from the sidelines of any struggle. We have a historiclove of castigating moving targets as we sit on our doffs. This nation is aplace where the concept of fan (derivative of fanatic) has grown to meannon-participative critic. I know that this is the case because I have been themoving target of this criticism and, at other times, the critic who sits.This is why your request that I read and critique ZsZamimtion of Knowledge:General Principles and Work Plan published by the International Instituteof Islamic Thought has made me somewhat uneasy. What would validatemy criticism? The fact that for nearly ten years I have been disassociatedfrom those who have dedicated themselves to the Islamic movement? Thefact is that I would like to reengage myself in the struggle without falseportrayals of the last ten years. The fact that you asked me in such a kindand understanding way to express myself in the context of the InternationalInstitute of Islamic Thought’s primary document is the only reason for mycomposing the following comments.I have paralleled the outline of the book in the presentation of thesecomments and notes.PrefaceI was surprised that the preface was written by one of my former teachersbecause when I was a student, he impressed upon me the need for preciselanguage. To translate mau biqum as “fate” instead of “condition” may seemminor but within the context of a text discussing the Islamization of knowledgeit is not a small matter. “Fate of a people” is not really an Islamic concept.Fate is generally understood to mean an inevitable and often adverse outcome.This is certainly not what the author intended, especially in the context ofthe ayah referred to.The crux of the preface rests on the non-neutrality of the sciences.

Ibn ‘Ashur is considered as one of the founders of modern Maqasid science which plays a role as a link between the thinking of salaf ulama and contemporary-reformist Islamic thought. This article tries to find the intersection between the maqasid theory and the reformist Islamic movement in the development of the thinking of maqasid Ibn ‘Ashur. This article is written as library research in which the author uses a thematic study of Maqasid as an approach to Islamic studies in three books written by Ibn ‘Ashur, for Searching the correlation of the concept to answer the problems in this study, among others; al-Tahrir wa al-Tanwir; Alaysaå al-Subh bi Qarib and Usul al-Nizam al-Ijtima'iy fi al-Islam. And supported by secondary references taken from books and journals related to the research theme. This article finds that Ibn ‘Ashur’s efforts in reorienting Maqasid theory to reformist Islamic thought are seen in the concept of Maqasid al-Qur’an al-’Ammah (objectives general al-Qur'an), which contains the mission of al-Qur'an in efforts to maintain the social system and order of human life. Ibn ‘Ashur's idea regarding the reorientation of the Maqasid theory has succeeded in changing the paradigm of the conservative group so that educational reforms at Zaytunah University can be realized. The main factor that shaped the idea of reorienting maqasid towards reformist thinking was the influence of the Muslim reformist movement and the movement against French colonialism.

<strong>Abstrak: </strong>Artikel ini mengkaji dedikasi dan karya-karya Yusuf Ahmad Lubis. Tokoh ini layak diungkap mengingat kiprah dan posisinya dalam organisasi Al Washliyah yang kemudian menjadi Ketua Majelis Ulama Sumatera Utara, tetapi masih terabaikan secara akademis. Artikel ini merupakan hasil studi kepustakaan dengan pendekatan historis. Temuan yang diusung artikel ini adalah bahwa Yusuf Ahmad Lubis, meskipun tidak pernah belajar agama di Haramain, tetapi memiliki jaringan intelektual dengan ulama-ulama Makkah melalui dua gurunya yang paling masyhur: Syekh Hasan Maksum dan Syekh Muhammad Yunus. Kompetensinya dalam bidang ilmu-ilmu keislaman didedikasikannya bagi umat dan bangsa melalui Al Jam’iyatul Washliyah. Ia juga mewariskan puluhan karya dalam ragam bidang keislaman. Menarik bahwa ia memiliki kemampuan dalam bidang perbandingan agama, dan kemampuan inilah yang membuatnya sukses dalam melaksanakan misi islamisasi pada basis-basis Kristen di Sumatera Utara. Sikap penentangannya terhadap tarekat Jalaluddin dan aliran Ahmadiyah menunjukkan bahwa ia ingin melindungi akidah umat Islam. Studi ini berhasil mengungkapkan profil seorang ulama universalis dan kritis terhadap perbedaan ideologi.<br /> <br /><strong>Kata Kunci: </strong>Mandailing, Al Washliyah, Yusuf Ahmad Lubis<br /><strong> </strong><br /><strong>Abstract: The 20<sup>th</sup> Century Mandailing Ulama Tradition: Dedication and Works of Yusuf Ahmad Lubis (1912-1980)</strong>. This article examines the dedication and works of Yusuf Ahmad Lubis. This figure is worth studying given his significant contribution and position in the Al Washliyah organization and who later become the Acting Chair of the North Sumatra Ulema Council, but it is still academically neglected. This article is the result of a literature study with a historical approach. The findings of this article are that Yusuf Ahmad Lubis, although he had never studied religion in Haramain, but had an intellectual network with Makkah scholars through his two most famous teachers: Sheikh Hasan Maksum and Sheikh Muhammad Yunus. His mastery in the Islamic religious sciences is dedicated to the people and nation through Al Jam’iyatulWashliyah. He also left dozens of works behind him in various fields of Islam. It is interesting that he has the ability in the field of comparative religion, and this ability has made him successful in carrying out the mission of Islamization on Christian bases in North Sumatra. His opposition to the Jalaluddin order and the Ahmadiyya sect increasingly shows that he wants to protect the faith of Muslims. This study successfully revealed the profile of a universalist ulama in terms of science and also still critical of ideological differences.<br /><strong> </strong><br /><strong>Keywords: </strong>Mandailing, Al Washliyah, Yusuf Ahmad Lubis
