Faith was the
principal of life, which is included in Human Right and nation has
confessed it to be embraced by every people especially in Indonesia.
By having faith, every people will have their own orientation for
what they live here, and also, they will have a strong conviction in
order to create the harmony life between each person in their
environment. What is the unique of Indonesia, especially about faith?
Indonesias was the country that has so many type of faith, from
Islam, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Catholic, and etc., on another
hand most of ism form that principal faith, had developed in
Indonesia. But the question, how to create peaceful in this country?
The answer is togetherness and respect. Nowadays, SARA was become the
main issue in Indonesia, because of the diversity of Indonesia, every
people can be pitted by this issue. This issue has become the concern
of our government in order to solve and try to unite every people.
Indonesia was the largest Island Nation that has spread from Sabang
and Merauke. Every Island hs their own family, form example Java with
Java Family, Betawi Family, Sunda Family, Kalimantan with their Dayak
Family, Irian Jaya with their Papua Family, Sumatera with their Batak
Family, and etc. every family will have their own faith. But let’s
imagine, if every family will regard that their faith are the right
one. It will become disaster because every people will impel their
faith to be believed with other people, moreover there will be
hostility. One thing that was so important was every nation has
regulated the freedom from every people to believe one faith. Besides
that, Indonesia was the country that has enacted Pancasila as the
base of this nation. Pancasila was born from reflection of Ir.
Soekarno as the first president in Indonesia. From Pancasila, it
shown that Indonesia is country that honor of people which have
strong faith, by the sound of Pancasila in first sentence, belief in
the one and only God.
- Diversity as the power for this nation to be Development Country
Diversity in
Indonesia should become the power to develop this country. Faith
should not become the barrier to make Indonesia as the big country
that can be model for every country in the world about the
harmonization between every religion follower. Faith as the basic of
life will try to guide every people to become the agent that will
bring the nation into development country. Interfaith will teach us
about how to respect with others perspective about religion. Every
religion has their own truth. As the youth and young generation, we
should support the big theme of this nation to increase the safety of
this big nation by keeping the harmonization of life between each
religion follower. Young generation can become the promoter to
support this, by:
- Giving some action by making discussion about interfaith, especially small groups discussion that can began from Senior High School, and can be continued until youth summit like this forum.
- Trying to make cultural approach to unite every people from different family and nation. Culture has the biggest impact for making unity. It can be seen from the music, dancing, and etc. Music was the general tools for making people aware that they was unity, and also, can make people from other religion aware that they God, that teach them about kindness.
As the Muslim,
the writer does believe that every religion has taught about
kindness. Islam, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Catholic, ask the
follower to spread love. There is no instruction to make war, and
makes terrorism action to kill human.
- Stop Violence Action
There are so many
issues that has been heard, and it was made people confuses about the
peaceful that should be created in this world. For example, case of
Rohingnya which was made us thought that there is no peace and there
is no tolerance between each religion follower there. In Indonesia, a
few days ago, we heard about case of SARA in Sampang, Madura, East
Java. All of the case that happened because of there is no
togetherness that has been appeared in their heart. All of us live in
the same earth, same country, same family, the question that appeared
was why there should be violence action, moreover killing their own
family. It should become contemplation, what’s wrong with us. As
the human, human rights always become the hot issue to be spoken, but
human right was regulated the freedom for people to live and believe
their religion, but when there is violence action happened, human
right like forgotten by each people.
- Developing Harmony Life by Respect Each Other
Harmony life is
the dream from each people. Harmony life can bring us peaceful
everywhere we live. There is no afraid, or stress that will appear
when harmony life can be created in the wide atmosphere. As we all
know, society now was so tired by hearing a violence action on behalf
of SARA. Society missed the tranquility, where each peole can walk in
every place without afraid. How about faith? The writer believes that
every religion teach us to bring kindness and make the calm
atmosphere. There is no religion which teach the follower to do
criminal action, or terrorism action, more over threaten others
faiths. As the moslem, the writer has been taught to respect with
others religion.
In this era,
faith has become the necessity which most of people trying to search
about the truth. Every religion has their own truth, but there will
no different basic of religion that should be contested. Every people
have their own truth, and there is no right for them to enforce other
people to follow what they have followed. If we understand about
human right, we will try to apply the harmony life to create the
comfortable atmosphere.
The new paradigm
for interfaith that should be created in the 21st
century is developing nation from harmony life, which can be created
by applying togetherness and tolerance. By togetherness and
tolerance, every people can do well their job, without
discrimination, every people will get safety to do their activity. In
the 21st
century, we should close the issue about violence on behalf of SARA.
The tragedy that happened in 2012, especially in Myanmar and
Indonesia, should become the lesson for all of us, that until now, we
still become human that cannot respect with each other. We still
become human that egoistic with our prominence, moreover we forget
the human right until there is casualties that have been caused from
that tragedy. Human beings should be treated as human and sense of
humanity. From interfaith summit, we can respect people in the
different religion, and trying to spread love. As young generation,
we have a duty to give understanding for other people all over the
world, that as human who has a faith to God, we believe that we can
live in the world by peaceful, and give the best service for human,
and also for God, as the one that we believe about the power of God,
who has created earth and the universe. The last, from this essay,
the writer hope that it will bring new paradigm that will make other
people trying to open mind and can live together in diversity.
