ICIS Profile (English)

International Conference of Islamic Scholars (ICIS)

Background

International Conference of Islamic Scholars (ICIS) was established in Jakarta on 24 February 2004 through the initiative of KH Ahmad Hasyim Muzadi, Chairman of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) period 1999 – 2010 and Dr. N. Hasan Wirajuda, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia period 2001 - 2009.

The idea of forming ICIS originated from the momentum of the change of political relations between Islam and the West caused by the attacks of 9 /11, 2001. The impact of World Trade Centre collapse in New York was increasingly heating temperature of the tension between both sides because it has ruined the symbol of economic power of the world which became a starting point for the U.S. government with its allies beating the drums of war against global terrorism. America's war campaign against terrorism is an indirect impact on the position of Muslims as the most responsible party for every act of terror over the years.

The high tension of Islam and the West is also perceived by all Muslims around the world as well as in Indonesia which is the largest Muslim population in the world. NU as the biggest Islamic mass organization in Indonesia with its mission to promote Islam as blessing for universe (Islam rahmatan lil alamin) is called to release that tension toward world peace on the basis of universal values of Islam.

Strategic Role of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU)
Post-tragedy, NU as a moderate Islamic organization which is known over the world is often invited in various international forums not only to provide a solution of the conflict between Muslims and terrorist acts in several countries but also to share its experience to the Western world about the principles of moderate Islam and the relations between religion and state.

Before the attacks of 9 /11, having a strong capacity as a moderate Islamic organization NU together with Islamic organizations and other interfaith groups in Indonesia regularly meet to knit inter-religious peace in Indonesia. Its characteristic with the values of moderation, mediation, tolerance, equity become the main capital of NU to promote Islam as Rahmatan lil Alamin more widely in both national and international levels.

Inspired by a committee of Hijaz which was formed by the founders of NU, KH Ahmad Hasyim Muzadi and Dr. N. Hasan Wirajuda discussed the importance of establishing an international forum to promote Islam Rahmatan lil Alamin as part of efforts to break through the tension of Islam and the West relations. Not long after that, KH Ahmad Hasyim Muzadi and HM. Rozy Munir (Vice Chairman of NU) established a forum named International Conference of Islamic Scholars (ICIS).

The principle idea
The principle idea of ICIS is to promote moderate Islam and nationhood. ICIS can mediate a dispute of liberal groups and extremist groups. Moderation means balancing faith and tolerance. Since liberal thinking provides too broad space of tolerance that reduces the faith, while the extreme thinking does not give room of tolerance that will lead to violence.

ICIS is on the line of moderation with a view to dialogue and be accepted by the West and East. The East understands that moderation is the essence of Islamic values. While in the West accept ICIS as they are used to customizing liberal way of thinking like in Europe and America where moderation has traction.

As well as to formulate thoughts of ahlul sunnah wal jamaah that formulate moderation can be emphasized at the ICIS forum through two aspects. First, defining the character of enlightened moderation. Second, formulating moderation in the comprehensive movement but remained in the culture of Indonesia and accepted by other groups.

ICIS 1
In cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ICIS successfully organized the first conference in Jakarta on 23-24 February 2004, attended by 47 countries and 67 Islamic scholars, intellectuals, experts and observers of the world. The existence of ICIS nationally and internationally gained support from President Megawati Sukarnoputri.

In the first ICIS conference was discussed the need to build the concept of Islamic thought of NU and thought of nationality of Indonesia. The combination of these two concepts of thinking will serve as the primary basis to introduce Islam Rahmatan lil Alamin nationally and internationally.

In the first ICIS conference resulted Jakarta Declaration in which Islamic thought of NU became the main spirit in every point of the declaration. In the plenary session led by Sheikh Wahbah Zuhaili (Syria), Sheikh Ali At Taskhiri (Iran) and Rozi Munir (Indonesia), the conference set and chose KH. Ahmad Hasyim Muzadi as Secretary General of ICIS. Thus the position of Secretary General is conference decisions that involve all participants of ICIS.

ICIS 2
The second International Conference of Islamic Scolars was held in Jakarta on 20-22 June 2006 and produced a document entitled "Program of Action to Uphold Islam as Rahmatan lil Alamin toward Global Justice and Peace," which consists of 17opening paragraphs and 37 substantive paragraphs. The conference was attended by more than 300 scholars from 54 countries, not only from countries whose majority population are Muslims, but also from countries where Muslims are minority.

As part of concrete measures agreed in the Program of Action that, The second ICIS conference had mandated to the Secretary-General to implement the following things:

ICIS 3
The third International Conference of Islamic Scholars was conducted in Jakarta on July 30 until August 1, 2009. The theme of ICIS 3: Islam as Rahmatan Lil 'Alamin: Peace Building and Conflict Prevention in the Muslim World.

ICIS 3 aimed to analyze the anatomy of conflict in the Islamic world, as well as recording an attempt to resolve conflicts and achieve peace. ICIS 3 was a repetition of how the Islamic concept of peace, the root of conflict and violence, and to pursue its theological framework.

ICIS 3 resulted a joint decision in the form of "Jakarta Message" which among other things contains the need to uphold Islam as Rahmatan lil-Alamin: Peace Building and Conflict Prevention in the Muslim World at the International Conference of Islamic Scholars Reaffirming our belief that the values and Islamic teachings require the ummah to encourage peace, justice, freedom, moderation, tolerance, balance and consultation and equity, as the foundation of human dignity.

Recalling the first ICIS in 2004 and the second ICIS in 2006 which confirmed that belief in Islam as Rahmatan lil-Alamin has been crystallized in facing the paradox of the world and ICIS must become an international forum of sustainable and as a movement of scholars and intellectuals.

Reaffirming the commitment of scholars and intellectuals the need of the role of cross-border ('abra al-hudud/sns frontiere) in building peace and preventing conflicts, including through facilitation and mediation.

ICIS Future Development
During the management of NU period 2000-2004 and 2004-2010, ICIS has not become an official institution of NU. Therefore, any changes concerning management and leadership of ICIS must be through international forums that regularly being conducted every two years.

During its development, it is very urgent to develop the role of ICIS from conferences to an institution of intensive study about the problems of Muslims around the world. By doing this intensive study is expected to focus more on responding to any problems of the Islamic world based on an accurate data field. In addition, this intensive study can also give more positive results for Ahlul Sunnah wal Jama’ah every time ICIS respond to the problems faced by Muslims in the world because the institution is the embodiment of the ICIS values of Ahlul Sunnah wal Jamaah. The results from the entire chain of activities will be reported in the next Forth ICIS conference.
