Politik Sufisme

Introduction

Politik sufisme. Mengungkap motif & kontribusi Sufi Nusantara Dr. KH. Musta'in Romly dalam politik. Temukan dampak positifnya bagi masyarakat, NU & Darul Ulum, meskipun ada penolakan awal.

Abstract

Every personal of a Sufi has a high sensitivity and concern for others. To be able to fight for the religion of God, sometimes a Sufi must enter into things of a worldly nature. Not because of aim or impulses that are not good and because of the attraction or even love for things that are oriented to world, but because of the existence of goals that are unwittingly positive. That's the way was when a Sufi was affiliated to politics. This article aims to uncover what motives and contributions were made from Dr. KH. Musta'in Romly as an Nusantara Sufi who had been involved in politics, and even entered one of the political parties. At that time, the case became a bit of a conflagration and gained some opposition from some quarters. The research of this article results that there are many contributions that Kiai Musta'in produced when he entered politics, especially when he joined the Golkar party. This can be shown from the aspects that return to general public, especially NU residents and aspects that return to the big family of Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding School and TQN Rejoso.

Review

This article proposes to explore a fascinating and often complex intersection between spiritual devotion and worldly engagement: "Politik Sufisme" (Sufism's Politics). The abstract introduces the premise that Sufis, driven by deep sensitivity and a desire to serve God, may sometimes engage with political spheres not for personal gain but for higher, positive objectives. Specifically, the paper aims to uncover the motives and contributions of Dr. KH. Musta'in Romly, a notable Nusantara Sufi, who controversially involved himself with the Golkar political party, facing initial opposition. This targeted case study promises to offer valuable insights into the practical application of spiritual principles within a secular, political context. The strength of this research lies in its focus on a specific, significant individual whose political involvement sparked debate. Understanding the stated "many contributions" Kiai Musta'in made to the general public, particularly NU residents, and to the Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding School and TQN Rejoso, could provide a nuanced perspective on the role of religious figures in nation-building and community development. The abstract's assertion that his motivations were rooted in positive goals, rather than worldly ambition, sets a crucial analytical framework that the article should meticulously explore, offering a counter-narrative to potential criticisms of such political affiliations. While the topic is compelling, the abstract could benefit from a more formal and precise academic language, replacing phrases like "a bit of a conflagration" or "return to general public." More importantly, for the article to be truly impactful, it must clearly articulate its methodological approach. The abstract makes strong claims about the positive motives and extensive contributions without detailing *how* these conclusions were reached (e.g., through archival research, interviews, textual analysis). Given the noted "opposition from some quarters," a rigorous, evidence-based discussion of both the motivations and the actual impact will be essential to substantiate the findings and provide a balanced, scholarly account of Kiai Musta'in Romly's unique journey into politics.
