Menakar Nalar Hukum Profetik pada Perilaku Politik Kaum Cendekia (Konteks Pendekatan Konstruktif Maqashid Syari’ah)

Abstract

The ideals of tranquility, justice, welfare, and constancy of a nation are - sometimes - pawned by a
number of vested interests owned and played by a handful of ruling elites. The manifestation of
division is indicated by unstable political behavior. At the grassroots level, fanaticism that usually
raises the alibi of freedom of expression is shown through hate speech that knows no empathy. In
the name of criticism, sometimes the expression satire is used to legalize more or less the same
thought, capitalizing on disagreement. This then takes on the educative role of the general public
in justifying irrational political preferences. From here, at least two problems can arise that need to
be defined in depth, namely: First, how is the correlation between legal reasoning, religious
profetization, and the maqashid shari'ah approach at the individual level [?]; Second, how does the
maqashid shari'ah construct measure prophetic legal reasoning in the political behavior of scholars
[?] This research is qualitative in nature using bibliometric analysis. The bibliometric approach
was originally used in quantitative analysis of scientific literature and publications to understand
trends, patterns, and characteristics in a particular field of research. The analysis proposed then
rests on the pragamatic value it generates; to the extent that it - in the broader category of the life
of the nation and state - bursts out a myriad of positive benefits towards continuous improvement
(islah yang ihsan), then to that extent also the effects of its omissions must be tolerated efficiently
and effectively. Vice versa.
