MALA YSIA’s CONCEPT OF MUHIBBAH • Popularized by first Prime Minister of Malaysia • Welcome the differences, maintain the sovereignty of Malay institution • Yet, maintain the welfare of others • Not in the same meaning with PLURALISM Pluralism: blended porridge - Muhibbah: a bowl of salad. • Divide the understanding of faith and social dimension • Understand the differences, work the similarities.
• “ Muhibbah is a unique word, self- contained and self-explanatory, a word with no direct or word translation in many other languages. Muhibbah combines the meaning of kinship and togetherness, love and affection, sympathy and empathy, respect and decorum, among others Muhibbah is certainly not ‘tolerance’ ; it is much richer and is far, far warmer than mere tolerance . ” (Kamaruzaman, 2013: 18).
Pa Parallel allel Ethics hics Sa Save e The he Na Natio ion Mutual agreement of all religions (particularly Islam and Buddhism) • Establish wholesome: Individual – Families – Society – Citizens • Not condone the act of injustice, violent; killing, raping, torturing. Esoteric Faith Exclusive Life Dimension Exoteric FORWARDED Social Inclusive (Kamaruzaman, 2013)
Conceptual Analysis • Muhibbah is impossible to be applied if double standard still possess the mentality – affect the government policy. • Myanmar should understand the meaning of a democratic country. • Apartheid and genocide – violation of ASEAN Human Rights Declaration. • Sao Shwe Thaike in 1959 declare the Muslim Rohingya as legal citizens. • Killing and harming are not acceptable in 10 precepts of Buddhism as well as Islamic syariah punishment of had and qisas towards the same actions. • Mutual understanding and engagement should be fostered amongst the coexistence society.
Conclusion • While the towers are skyscraping, why the humanity is degrading? • Need to escape from the comfort zone. • Prepare to lower the ego and self-interest. • Accept the similarities and learn the differences. • Understand the essence of Muhibbah – actualize it towards stability and harmonious living.
