Configuring the Politics of the Development of the Religious Courts

Abstract

The Message (Arabic: الرسالة, Ar-Risālah; also known as Mohammad, Messenger of God) is a 1976 epic historical drama film directed by Moustapha Akkad. This film tells the life and journey of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. Released in Arabic (1976) and English (1977), The Message is useful as an introduction to the early history of Islam, from various disciplines that discuss issues of public interest, go beyond documentation and analysis, and take the quality of human life in religion and society as a criterion for their recommendations. The approach chosen in this article is to focus on one particular aspect, namely the focus on the political configuration of Islam in Indonesia. Religion is one field that produces relations with holy or divine reality. While religion cannot survive without a form of power, the form given to political play in power establishes a sign of religious identity. Today, critical studies of religious differences have gained the urgency of politics which is very powerful in influencing civilization. Religion can act as a cause, but also as a problem solver. To form multidisciplinary thinking it is necessary to study religious differences in the actual corridors.
