MENYOAL KHILAFAH: TELAAH ATAS PEMIKIRAN POLITIK ALI ABD AR-RAZIQ
Abstract
Ali Abdul Raziq rejected a logical axiom that building khilafah is a requirement for getting religious and common goods. For him, it is not merely khilafah, but every social system in the certain community needs a common good. Every country, whatever religion they mostly embraced, needs a certain system of organizing the common goods. The system could be based on every ideological underpinning, including khilafah. Furthermore, a claim that khilafah is the only religious system is unacceptable. Ali Abdul Raziq argues that religion has nothing to do with this system. There is no Islamic law which ruled khilafah, neither rejected it. All types of constitution and the ways they kept maintaining them are based on logical capability and living experience.
