PEMAHAMAN KONSEP RAHMAH DALAM ISU MASYARAKAT MAJMUK DI MALAYSIA: ANALISIS PENDIRIAN GERAKAN DAKWAH IKRAM DAN ISMA (Understanding the Concept of Compassion in the Issue of the Pluralistic Society in Malaysia: An Analysis of the Missionary Movement Stand of IKRAM and ISMA)

Abstract

ABSTRAK
Konsep rahmah dalam masyarakat majmuk merupakan salah satu isu yang dibincangkan dalam gerakan dakwah di Malaysia terutamanya bagi Pertubuhan IKRAM Malaysia (IKRAM) dan Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (ISMA). Keduadua gerakan ini mempunyai pendekatan yang berbeza berkaitan konsep rahmah dalam dakwah kepada bukan Muslim di Malaysia. Justeru kajian ini menganalisis pemahaman konsep rahmah oleh IKRAM dan ISMA berdasarkan ayat-ayat al-Quran dan Hadis yang membincangkan konsep tersebut. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kualitatif dengan melakukan analisis terhadap penulisan rasmi kedua-dua gerakan serta temu bual beberapa pemimpin kedua-dua gerakan ini dalam mendapatkan pemahaman terhadap konsep rahmah tersebut. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa IKRAM melihat konsep rahmah kepada bukan Muslim sebagai suatu peluang untuk dijadikan landasan berdakwah kepada bukan Muslim. Manakala ISMA pula melihat konsep rahmah kepada bukan Muslim dengan pendekatan yang lebih berhati-hati agar tidak disalah tafsir penggunaannya dalam konteks hubungan Muslim kepada bukan Muslim.

ABSTRACT
Both IKRAM (Pertubuhan IKRAM Malaysia) and ISMA (Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia) have different stands with regards to the issue of compassion in their missionary movement. Both movements have different and obvious stands about the issue of compassion, although both carry the name of Islam as the main pillar of their fight. In assessing the issue of the pluralistic society in Malaysia, IKRAM and ISMA are also seen as different in providing solutions, particularly on issues involving the non-Muslims. Hence, this study analyse the understanding of the concept of compassion as understood by both missionary movements, as well as how IKRAM and ISMA have been very persistent in determining their stand on the issue. This study uses qualitative methods by analysing the writings and interview of the movements’ leadership figures. The findings of the study find that IKRAM sees the issue of compassion towards the non-Muslims as an opportunity for preaches or missionary efforts to be made to the non-Muslims. ISMA, on the other hand, sees the concept of campassion to the non-Muslims with very carefully method and disagrees if the concept of compassion is misused in the context of the Muslims’ relationship with the non-Muslims.
