Fiqh Jihad dan Terorisme (Perspektif Tokoh Ormas Islam Sumatera Utara)

Abstract

Jihad is a teaching and even an obligation to a Muslim. In  the  Qur’an,  the  term  jihad  is  mentioned  forty  times  in sentences.  Jihad  has  an  underlying  concept  for  a  Muslim  life. However, the term jihad is often misconceived, referred to bad things, being violent and even inhumane. Therefore, redefining and  restructuring  the  concept  of  jihad  in  Islam  is  crucial.  The province  of  North  Sumatera  has  often  been  seen  as  a  terrorist territorial,  for  many  terrorists  have  been  arrested  from  the province.  This  has  provoked  anger  for  Muslims  who  are  the majority  of  the  population  in  the  province.  This  is  among specific findings of the study, which are based on interviews with the leaders of Muslim organizations in North Sumatera such as al-Jamiyat  al-Washliyah,  Nahdlatul  Ulama,  Muhammadiyah, DDII, MMI, DDII, FPI, and MUI.
