| Summary: | The misunderstanding of the concept of al-Takfir in Islam is one of the factors that
leads to disunity of people nowadays. The unity of a country depends on the unity of
its people. Al-Takfir without rights and propositions is a violation of the concept of alWasatiyyah and a breach of the principle of al-Tabayyun. One considered as an
extremist when he judges a person blindly without any proof and investigation. Hence,
the role of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama‟ah to be in the middle between two extremes
seems to be significant so that the real concept of moderation is preserved in addition
to comply with syariah. By using the method of libratory study, this qualitative
research explains what is meant by concept of al-takfir and how its relation to the
national unity. The result of research shows that the concept of al-takfir by Ahl aSunnah wa al-Jama‟ah is very specific and not to judge a person with the matters of
khilafiyyah in a simple way. It is also one of the aspect to mantain the national unity
and its people. |
