What is Politics? Politics is an activity that is created, used, and developed with the aim of enforcing the rules and regulations of a society. Islamic politics, on the other hand, is the combined interpretation of the formation of a state with the basic principles of Islam. So, what is the relationship between Islamic politics and the modern generation?
The relationship between Islamic politics and the modern generation is an imperalism, colonialism, fundamentalism paradigm, the development of Islamic politics, the participation of the younger generation in politics, and the role of the younger generation as Muslims in politics. All of these things are the influence of the development of Islamic political development towards more modern and contemporary. Although it seems easy to realise, there are still challenges and opportunities created by the realisation of Islamic politics with this modern generation, let's look together!
Challenges and opportunities will continue to be created if we want to realise something new. This is also the case between Political Islam and this modern generation. So far, we can see that the challenges created will be very diverse because this is a new manifestation that will be developed. The younger generation is a complex generation in terms of globalisation and modernisation, but this is also one of the challenges of the younger generation in the confusion of facing the Islamic identity itself.
Political polarisation in society is also a major challenge to realising an Islamic political vision. The differences in religious understanding that occur in Indonesian society can make the Islamic political approach even more difficult to unite. Moreover, the emergence of globalised values of secularism and consumerism that contradict Islamic values. The use of social media technology can also be a challenge in creating consensus and Islamic political action. So many challenges faced by the younger generation in realising Islamic politics.
However, in the midst of the many challenges faced by the younger generation, it does not make them discouraged in realising Islamic politics. Because, the younger generation is known as a generation that is not easily tired, and a generation that has a fiery soul to realise something they want. By creating better access to education and information, it will be easier for the younger generation to fight for Islamic values with their politics. Young people's activism in social activities can also be used as an opportunity to fight for politics and Islamic values, and the use of social media and modern technology can be used to expand the scope and build consensus among young people in an effort to promote Islamic politics.
Participating in politics will also be a great opportunity for the younger generation to provide opportunities and influence political policies with Islamic values for democratic people. To create Islamic politics, the modern generation needs to address these challenges and obstacles through the utilisation of opportunities. It also involves a thoughtful approach, a deep understanding of Islamic values, and a commitment to collaborate with various parties in society to achieve common goals.
In conclusion, the modern generation presents complex challenges, but also significant opportunities. Young people are faced with challenges such as identity confusion, political polarisation and different interpretations of religion, as well as the pressures of globalisation. However, they also have great potential to influence and realise Islamic politics through education, social activism, technology and political participation. By utilising these opportunities wisely, with a deep understanding of Islamic values, and collaboration with all parties in society, the modern generation can become significant agents of change in achieving the goal of Islamic politics.
