In the midst of national diversity, KH Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur) emerged not just as a leader, but as a moral compass for harmony in Indonesia. His thoughts transcended formal boundaries, touching the deepest essence of humanity and spirituality.
This work explores the two main pillars of harmony in Gus Dur’s perspective:
Inter-religious Tolerance: Gus Dur believed that religion must serve as a protector of humanity. “God does not need to be defended,” he famously stated, for the true defense of God is manifested through the defense of His oppressed creatures, regardless of their faith.
Intra-religious Tolerance: Often overlooked, Gus Dur emphasized the importance of maturity in addressing differences within the Islamic community itself. He taught that diversity in schools of thought (madzhab), organizations, and interpretations is an intellectual treasure to be celebrated, not a reason for mutual excommunication.
Through the moderate (tawasuth) and balanced (tawazun) approach of Ahlussunnah Wal Jama’ah, this text invites readers to emulate Gus Dur’s courage in bridging divides. It is a portrait of Islam as Rahmatan lil ‘Alamin—a blessing for the universe that embraces diversity as an eternal human nature.
