Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
Call to the leadership of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) Muhammad Rizieq Shihab moving to a tauhid-based state system is considered a symptom of diversity blindness in Indonesia and Pancasila. Because, national policy clearly states that the freedom to practice religious teachings is not only provided to Muslims.
On the 212 Grand Reunion National Dialogue program that aired online on Wednesday (12/2), Rizieq called for a change to a state tauhid-based system. It states that this system is in accordance with the first principle of Pancasila.
“Therefore, the moral revolution at the system level how we collaborate, we went to a system based on tauhid, based on the first principle of Pancasila,” said Rizieq, at the time.
An expert in Constitutional Law from the University of Andalas, Feri Amsari, said that Rizieq’s statement was actually the opinion of one of the founding groups of the nation during the formulation of the bases of the State.
However, at that time other groups also expressed different opinions. Thus, as a commitment, Pancasila was born.
“What is clear is that the first precepts are not separate from the other four precepts. They are not independent, but rather protect each other. Rizieq’s opinion is not wrong, but not entirely correct,” Feri said.
“Rizieq only sees one color and is ‘blind’ to other colors. Previously the great scholars who founded this country accepted Pancasila, finally, the debate ended ”, he said.
Various figures from the Preparatory Committee for Indonesian Independence (PPKI) in 1945 have discussed the basic problems of the state. At the time, Islamic groups encouraged the implementation of sharia law by including the sentence “… with the obligation to apply Islamic law for its adherents” in the preamble to the constitution.
The seven words of the formulation that became known as the Jakarta Charter were later removed on the basis of objections from Eastern figures regarding the diversity of beliefs. Hatta later argued with Islamic figures.
A compromise was reached. The sentence changed to “Almighty God”, which was later agreed as the first principle of Pancasila.
Feri considers that there is no need to discuss Pancasila as the basis of the State that has proven capable of harmonizing the lives of followers of various religions.
“Not only that, Pancasila also unites various ethnic groups and other differences in the framework of a unitary state,” he said.
Unfilled
On the other hand, the professor of constitutional law at Parahyangan University, Asep Warlan Yusuf, evaluated that the articles on divinity of the 1945 Constitution cannot be taken partially or partially.
According to him, the first principle of Pancasila itself is translated, one of which is found in paragraphs 1 and 2 of article 29 of the 1945 Constitution. Paragraph 1 of article 29, he said, does establish that the state is based in the One Deity.
“[Pasal] that means monotheism, ‘there is no god but Allah’ if in the Muslim sense it is so. So if we look from the first favor of Almighty God, that is the meaning of monotheism in the first favor, according to article 29 verse 1, “Asep said when contacted. CNNIndonesia.com, Wednesday (2/12).
However, this article should be viewed as a whole. This is because article 29, paragraph 2, states that the state guarantees the freedom of each resident to embrace their own religion and worship in accordance with their religion and beliefs.
In this way, he said, Indonesia cannot be said to be an Islamic country because the state frees its citizens to embrace other religions, such as Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Protestant Christianity and Confucianism.
“All religions are recognized, protected, respected, peace, tolerance. That’s the next thing. [Pasal 29] paragraph (2) is correct, “he said.
“It needs to be elaborated, elaborated more, we are not the planned Islamic country, but a country based on religious values, the value of One Deity. Each religion must contribute to upholding the first precept,” Asep added.
