The Religion Moral: Dialogis, Akulturasi, dan Identitas Islam Indonesia

Abstract

This article examines the moral of religion in the discourse of mutual greetings between culture and religious teachings in Indonesia. A reality from a religious journey, including Islam, is that culture is an important element in its development. Discarding culture in the course of religion also eliminates historical aspects and has an impact on the emptiness of substantial values, such as spiritual emptiness and moral emptiness. So, to weave elements of the development of Indonesian Islam, dialogic reading is needed which emphasizes the moral aspects of each element. Qualitative methods are used to describe inductively using liberary research data sources which emphasize descriptive analysis. Thus, this reading can produce a new construction of the journey of Indonesian Islam, because it not only emphasizes the docmatic aspects, but also considers other aspects, such as historical, sociological, and psychological. The variety of aspects in this paper is an Indonesian Islamic identity which will differ in character and style from Islam in other countries.
