Abstract

Jihad adalah spirit utama dalam membangun perkembangan dan kemajuan Islam. Tanpa semangat jihad, misi agung Islam itu hanya melayang dalam impian. Untuk itu, spirit jihad mesti selalu menyala dalam dada umat Islam dalam situasi dan kondisi apa pun disepanjang masa. Namun penting digarisbawahi bahwa jihad dalam Islam tidaklah diidentikkan dengan peperangan, pertempuran dan ekspedisi militer, tapi jihad memiliki pengertian yang komprehensif. Jihad dalam pengertian spesifik (peperangan) dapat diimplementasikan jika pihak lawan telah menggoncang stabilitas umat Islam dan sebagai alternatif terakhir. Sebaliknya, dalam kondisi kondusif, aman dan tenteram, jihad semacam itu sama sekali tidak dibenarkan Islam. Bahkan Islam mengecam pelaku tindakan anarkis, kekerasan, penganiyaan, teror, pengeboman dan sebagainya sebagai bentuk kejahatan. Karena itu, pemaknaan atas jihad dan implementasinya bisa berubah dan berkembang dengan memperhatikan konteks, tempat dan waktu. Dalam hal ini, jihad yang relevan dengan konteks Indonesia adalah berjihad dalam bentuk menegakkan keadilan, mengentaskan kemiskinan, menghilangkan kebodohan, menumpas kedhaliman, memberantas KKN dan segala bentuk amar ma’ruf nahi munkar. Inilah upaya jihad yang mesti senantiasa diperjuangkan umat Islam Indonesia dalam rangka menjunjung tinggi agama Islam sepanjang masa.

Language is a power, it has a an important role to reach special goal. The use of language in superintensif, including the abuse of language with its various aspects so prominent in the world of poliitk, especially in Indonesia. In the era of globalization of the market and current information, it is difficult to imagine the existence of the forum or the stage of communication of political that is free from the influence of the market or the state. Its a product of fight and political engineering has given rise to a power structure that emphasizes more on the role of the executive that is greater than the legislative or judicial branches. Some distortion of language in political communication is the language as a mask, as a project to forget. The use of language is distorted, among others, that the power of a garden owned by the ruler can still survive. The availability of public space will be effective for the discourse on the counterculture if offset by structural changes in society, especially regarding the relationship between the elite with the masses.
