PANCASILA LEADERSHIP IN ISLAMIC WORLDVIEW

Abstract

PANCASILA (the five principles of the Nation of Indonesia) as the state philosophy, the state ideology, legal ideals (rechtsidee), and the source of State Laws should not only have its beauty in the concept but be able to implement into practices in the nation lives. As the philosophy of life which is believed to unite differences and bind the people to live altogether as a nation, Pancasila needs leaders to inspire, to work together to put the values into reality, and to motivate the people to maintain and keep Pancasila as state principles. The research is to study the Islamic Worldview about Pancasila Leadership which the result is needed to implement since the majority of the states is Muslims who believe that their life must be guided and in accord to Sharia. The paper is written by literature study that collects sources from library to search and defines what Pancasila, Leadership, and Pancasila Leadership are and to find the Islamic Worldview of it the it is found that Pancasila has some things in common with Medina Charter and the values composed in BPUPKI (Badan Penyelidik Usaha – Usaha Persiapan Kemerdekaan = The Investigating Committee for Preparatory Work for Independence) which was finalized in PPKI (Panitia Persiapan Kemerdekaan Indonesia = The Preparatory Committee for Indonesian Independence  were derived from Al Qur’an and As Sunnah which went along with the nation wisdom. In the end, it concludes that Islam (sharia) views Pancasila suits to Islamic Principles which is feasible but with one problem that we (Indonesian people) have very rare figures who understand and live with the values who sit as leaders in all sectors of government.
