Abstract

This study aims to examine salafism thought through the perspective of Buya Hamka and his works. As an Islamic thinker in Indonesia, Buya Hamka also believed that the inclusive nature of Islamic teachings emphasizes the importance of tolerance and respect toward differences between school of though and among followers of various religions, this approach also provides a balance that can help reduce the potential for conflict among Muslims, which stands in contrast to the nature of contemporary Salafist thought. Whether acknowledged or not, the dynamics and development of Salafi thought in Indonesia have grown significantly and succeeded in in gaining the attention and support of the Indonesia public. The aim of highlighting the characteristics of Salafi thought is to compare it with other reformist and modernist Islamic ideas that emerged in the 19 th dan 20 th centuries, which are attributed to figures such as Jamal al-Din al-Afghani (1839-1897 ), Muhammad Abduh ( 1849-1905 ), and Muhammad Rashid Rida ( 1865-1935 ), who are also referred to as part of the Salafi movement. One of the Indonesia Islamic intellectuals who offered his perspective on Salafism is Haji Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah, more widely known as Buya Hamka, The school of thought followed by Buya Hamka is Salafism, that is, the school of the Prophet Muhammad Shallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam, his companions, and the scholars who followed his path in matters of worship and creed, submitting themselves fully to the teachings, that is, they submitted without excessive questioning, yet without blindly following other human beings. This study uses a qualitive approach with a library research method, involving data collection procedures, data organization, data coding, theme identification, and data interpretation. The results of this study include the movement of tajdid, the purication of the name of Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahab, and the interpretation of attributes of Allah.
