Abstract

Al Washliyah is a moderate Islamic organization in Indonesia. Ulama (Islamic scholars) have obtained honorable and strategic positions in Al Washliyah organization. As an elite group in Al Washliyah organization, the ulama have responded to socio-religious problems in Indonesia, including issues of radicalism and terrorism. Their responses to these problems should be understood as the Ulama's reflection and a foundation in counteracting radicalism and terrorism in Indonesia. This paper is mainly written to get an insight into the ulama's responses towards the four issues indoctrinated by the radical and terrorist groups such as the Islamic State, jihādī, takfīrī, and suicide bombers. This research highlights that Al Washliyah ulama give different interpretations of those four doctrines, by prioritizing moderation in religion and firmly rejecting radicalism and terrorism in actions or ideas. © 2021, Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University (UIN) Jakarta.
