traditional paradigm of post-reform Islamic thought

Reform is a big agenda in making a change in the life of the nation. Even the reforms made in a form of liberation from the shackles of building a dictatorship of the regime leadership. Because the reform is a process of building a civilization openly and courageously in taking a stance, for the undertaking and the sacred responsibility in realizing a change.

Reform journey that became a dream of the pioneers in the movement to overthrow the regime of dictator, has changed the paradigm of a closed nation to an open system. Thus resulting in an open system into the new ideology of nationalism. Departing from this system of openness with the proposition put forward has made diversity a freedom of thought patterns evolve rapidly in the life of the nation.

Furthermore, the post-reform system of openness has been included in the territory of religion, the religion of Islam as the granary of new ideas emerging in the reform era with a different face in the current manifest themselves initiated into the world of Islamization. So that there was a very intense battle in the understanding of the Islamization in post-reform era.

Post-reform upheaval in the Muslim world grown so rapidly in the study of economic, social, political, cultural. Starting from the simplest to the most controversial. Even an idea that tends to lead out a community-wide customs are also growing rapidly. That sometimes led to a paradigm across from each other.

Reform is one of the gates of openness in understanding and translating a variety of problems that occur in people's lives. Even the ideology of reform becomes a way of growing so rapidly go outside Indonesia, both economic, social, cultural, political, educational as well as in other fields..

The existence of the reform has been used as a tool by some groups to spread an idea that became an ideology. So that the post-reform thought patterns that deviate from the familiar and understand the religion of Islam appear to align with a variety of different faces.

Most striking in the post-reform Islamic paradigm is a battle between liberal face to face caliphate. So that both faces are often at odds ranging from argument to battle the more phenomenal again. Given the struggle between the liberal against the caliphate is a battle of ideas and culture from an outer archipelago.

Liberal is an idea that came from the west. So the paradigm of liberal groups tend to lead to problems in interpreting a sense of life. Because liberals emphasize the aspect of freedom of individual rights, but the biggest weakness lies in its emphasis on liberal issues that tend to negate the idea of ​​social rights issues.

Though the results of liberal thought often adopt western ideas of the translation of a religious life. Departs from repetition is where liberals are stuck with the idea of ​​freedom leads to false in building paradigms. Because liberals tend to be on if the context in providing a commentary on religious, but in the religious interpretation is not limited to merely rely on the context. However, between text and context must be able to synergize with the right.

While the empire led to a textual perspective in providing a commentary on the Islamization. So stuck in the paradigm of empire and text comprehension are far from multi real life. Departing from this empire building tends to adopt a paradigm of cultural ideas of the Middle East nation in providing an overview of the values ​​of Islamization.

Post-reform paradigm to the realm of the growing Islamization of liberal ideology in the battle against the empire east west center, that creates an idea of ​​traditional Islam as a counterweight to the liberal with a caliphate. Because traditional Islam is more emphasis on aspects of the text and the context in synergy within the scope of values ​​about the Islamization. So in the face of traditional Islam is a form of indigenous communities in exploring the application of an Islamic cultural context, so that there was a real mutuality between text and context of the teachings of Islam.

Traditional Islam is more likely to lead to an idea of ​​the noble values ​​of indigenous people to dig themselves in a concept initiated to Islamization. For middle eastern culture and western culture is not suited to the personality of indigenous communities. Therefore, by digging in the noble values ​​produces a value of local wisdom in the teachings of Islam as a counterweight to enter between the profane and the sacred life. Departure from where the local knowledge can go along with the values ​​of Islamic teachings, to examine a text and context of mutual integration.

Paradigm of traditional Islam is a middle way in translating the values ​​of Islamization, to Indonesia in the post-reform era able to dig up treasures of the archipelago, to be in the mix between text and context are appropriate in achieving the benefit of the people, which is based of the teachings of the sacred religion of Islam. And Allah Give guidance to the truth, the grace, and His glory.
