Educational

Main ideas and concepts (what the video teaches)

  • Learning goal (Kompetensi dasar 3.1): Analyze the background of the emergence of Islamic theological “schools of kalam” in connection with the tahkim (arbitration) event.

What “ilm al-kalam” is

Kalam is the science that studies aqidah/faith topics, specifically:

  1. Faith in Allah
  2. Faith in angels
  3. Faith in Allah’s books
  4. Faith in Allah’s messengers/prophets
  5. Faith in the Day of Judgment
  6. Faith in Qada and Qadar (divine decree)

Historical background: how division emerged

During the Prophet Muhammad’s lifetime

  • Muslims were portrayed as united; disagreements were resolved by consulting the Prophet.
  • The companions were depicted as not debating the Prophet’s teachings, but asking questions they didn’t understand.
  • Unity is emphasized via Qur’an Surah Al-Anfal 8:46: believers are told to obey Allah and the Messenger and not argue because it leads to failure.

Early Khulafaurrasyidin era (Abu Bakar and Umar)

  • Unity is said to remain strong, despite early challenges:
    • False prophets appeared
    • Some people were reluctant to pay zakat
  • These challenges were overcome, especially attributed to Abu Bakar as-Siddiq.

Late Uthman’s era

  • Seeds of division began when Uthman bin Affan implemented reforms in government administration.
  • Political instability increased and reached a peak with Uthman’s assassination, described as al-fitnah al-kubra (the Great Slander).

Tahkim/arbitration event as a turning point

  • After Uthman’s assassination, Ali bin Abi Thalib was appointed caliph amid crisis.
  • Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan demanded Ali prioritize investigating Uthman’s murder.
  • Muawiyah did not pledge allegiance to Ali and instead gathered forces in Syam.
  • Shiffin War (battle of Siffin):
    • The forces fought in Safar 37 H (Hijri).
    • The war ended with negotiations at Dumatul Jandal.

Tahkim process (arbitration)

  • Two delegations negotiated:
    • Ali’s side: Abu Musa al-Asy’ari leading a delegation of 400 people
    • Muawiyah’s side: Amr bin As leading a delegation of 400 people
  • They agreed that Ali and Muawiyah should be removed from positions to end conflict.
  • Reported sequence:
    • Abu Musa al-Asy’ari conveyed agreement-related results first.
    • Then Amr bin As gave a different result, framed as a strategy/diplomatic maneuver.
    • The outcome portrayed the atmosphere as chaotic for Ali’s supporters and celebratory for Muawiyah’s camp.
  • Afterward:
    • Ali’s supporters left to Mecca.
    • Amr bin As and Muawiyah’s side went to meet Muawiyah, and the video depicts Muawiyah as being confirmed/treated as caliph replacing Ali.

Impact of tahkim: emergence of factions and escalation

  • After tahkim, Muslims split into three factions:
    1. Ali loyalists → described as the embryo of Shia
    2. Splinter group of Ali’s side → became known as Khawarij
    3. Supporters of Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan
  • Shift from political dispute to theology/faith dispute:
    • Initially, disagreements were political, but later expanded into aqidah/theological issues.
    • Example given: some treated figures associated with the conflict as infidels due to “mixing right and wrong.”
  • Violence and assassination plots following the split:
    • Planned killings mentioned:
      • Ibn Muljam tasked to kill Ali bin Abi Thalib in Kufa
      • Hajjaj bin Abdullah tasked to kill Muawiyah in Damascus
      • Amr bin Bakr tasked to kill Amr bin al-‘Ash in Egypt
    • Outcome described:
      • Only Ali was successfully killed.
      • Muawiyah was only injured.
      • Amr bin al-‘Ash survived because he did not go to the mosque; the attacker killed someone else mistaken for him (named/depicted as Khadijah).

Instructional / methodological points (as presented)

The video does not present a procedural “how-to” method; however, it provides a learning structure for analysis:

  1. Step 1: Identify what ilm al-kalam covers (the six pillars of faith framework).
  2. Step 2: Trace history of unity vs. division:
    • Prophet’s era (unity via consultation)
    • Abu Bakar/Umar era (unity despite early crises)
    • Uthman era (reforms → instability)
  3. Step 3: Use the tahkim event as the key turning point:
    • Explain war (Siffin), negotiation location (Dumatul Jandal), delegations (Abu Musa vs. Amr bin As), and the disputed outcome.
  4. Step 4: Explain consequences:
    • Formation of three factions
    • The shift from politics → theology
    • Escalation into violent plots/assassinations
