National Taujihat Of The Indonesian Ulama Council On The 2024 Election

Abstract

The Indonesian Ulema Council plays an urgent and central role in strengthening the unity of the nation and state which is full of diversity because the results of the legitimacy tools in the form of fatwas and discourses will influence the social, political, and cultural life of society. The role of the Indonesian Ulema Council in the context of elections cannot be separated from its legitimacy tools, namely fatwas and discourses, in the context of legitimacy tools in the form of discourses, there are several discourse products, namely: calls and recommendations (tausiyah), warnings (tadzkirah), mandates/instructions (amanah), statements of attitude, contributions of thought, and guidelines (taujihat). This study uses literature review research on the MUI Taujihat. The results show that in 2024, the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) carries out and plays its role as a Fatwa Issuer (Mufti), as a Guide and Servant of the People (Ra'iy wa Khadim al ummah), as an Upholder of Amar Ma'ruf and Nahi Munkar, as a Pioneer of the Movement for the Improvement of the People (Ishlah al-Ummah), and as a bearer of the leadership of the people (Qiyadah al-ummah).
