Political Thought Reform In The Context of Islam

Indonesia is a country in Southeast Asia with a large number of Muslims, making it the majority population. One of the most influential and significant phases in the development of Islam is the reform era that occurred at the end of 1998. In this phase, changes in political and social direction have affected the way people understand and apply Islamic values in their daily lives.

At the beginning of the reformation, the journey of Islamic political views began. Some Islamic figures such as Amien Rais and M. Munawir Sjadzali fought for the rights of Muslims. They fought for the right to apply Islamic law in everyday life. They also argued that Islam should be part of the social and political life in Indonesia.
