In essence, spirituality is inseparable with mankind. Human wants happiness, peace, kindness, and pleasure. Besides that, human endeavors to avoid cruelty, chaos, and disintegration. Shortly, everyone wants to live in the world harmoniously. For a long period of time with comprehensive understanding about religion, it is able to serve what human wants in life. Ironically, when the religion is institutionalized, the essence of religion transforms into an ideology, new axiom that bounds humanity in the numb rules.
It is believed for all of each adherent that religion promises good things for human kind. “Islam” promises happiness, Christianity with its love, Hindu and Buddhism with their asceticism. Every religion, as the way of life expresses its teaching in their own way. In this essay, I would like to talk about the different ideology dynamics of Islam that creates the “institutions” and its effect in social context of life.
It is believed that, by organizing the people through some organizations can ease the government to manage the society. Because of organization of religion the structure in social context will be more arranged. We may see some organizations in Indonesia for instance, Muhammadiyah, NU, Wahdah, HTI and so on. Hey show their own characteristics so that the ordinary people may enter to them and then live in certain moral, value, and culture.
However, the appearance of some organizations in Islam has been believed as the impact of different ideologies. Furthermore, when the religion institutionalized it creates two terms namely “insider” and “outsider”. Insider means, the member of certain institution who see their friends bound with their own rule and tradition. On the other hand, “outsider” means the other people out of insider’s institution.
Personally, I think that it’s not matter when religion appears in new face because that is kind of religious dynamic. As long as it can improve the integration of society everything is ok, but when it becomes new axiom, ideology, and alienation it causes disintegration for society.
In conclusion, religion in essence comes to build a beautiful relation for human kind. When religion becomes the pretext to humiliate, alienate, and even destruct the people means religion lose its substance.
