Abstract— Multicultural society is a reality of a society that
cannot be rebutted in the era of globalization. It is composed of
various models of communities. Every community model has its
own character and history. Indonesia is a multicultural country
spreading from Sabang to Merauke, from Mianggas to Rote
Island. For Indonesian, a good understanding of the
multicultural community concept is a basic necessity to get better
knowledge as a basic foundation for the government to manage a
good multicultural society in the globalization era. Thus, this
study tries to make the religion of Islam as a framework of
scientific thinking in explaining the multicultural society. It tries
to get the paradigm of secular thinking. It understands that
religion only limits on faith to the strength the supernatural
which is realized in the form of worship. Through the
methodology of history and the approach of mentality study
assisted, it is found that the religion of Islam is potential to be a
framework of scientific thinking that can be used in explaining
the phenomenon of multicultural society. This study also finds
that Islam is not only able to explain the reality of multicultural
society, but it is also able to give the solution to a better condition
for the modern men in managing multicultural society. As a
result, they are happy, prosperous, humane, enjoying life, and
living in peace on the complexity of life problems in the
globalization era.
Keywords— Islamic religion; social conflict; multicultural society
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Measuring Islamic Opportunity as a Scientific Thinking
Framework that Explains Reality in Social Community
Pew Research Center notes that Islam is the fastest
growing religion in the world. Muslims are growth 70% from
1.8 billion in 2015 to 3 billion by 2050 [1]. According to
Lipka, the senior editor who focuses on religious studies at the
Pew Research Center, there are two main factors that make
Islam could grow so quickly; firstly, the birth rate of Islamic
children is quite high. Michael Lipka said that throughout the
world, Muslim women have children an average of 2.9
children compared to 2.2 for all other religious groups.
Secondly, Islam is the youngest religious group; there are a lot
of younger of Muslims than the other great religions. The
average age of people who converts to Islam is at the age of 24
years in 2015. "Seven years younger than the average age of
non-Muslims in the world", he said [1].
The observation that was submitted by the Pew Research
Center over just focused on the internal growth of the Islamic
religion. The increasing number of Muslims is seen from the
side of a fairly high birth rates experienced by families who
are Muslims. Pew Research Center also sees the phenomena
which are so many people outside of Islam who become
interested in becoming a moderate Islam. The phenomenon of
a high wave modern man who claimed to be a Muslim is also
one of the main factors that make Islam can grow rapidly in
this era of globalization.
The data show that in the Western world today there is an
increase in the wave of West people who are claimed to be a
Muslim. Interestingly, the data show that the Western people
who declared themselves as Muslims are not derived from the
lower level, but the Westerners who accept Islam as their
religion are great people, such as scientists, priests, politicians,
and celebrities. Prof. Dr. Abdul Karim Germanus, European
scholar; Prof. Dr. Maurice Bucaille, Surgeons of France; Prof.
Dr. Jeffrey Lang, a mathematician from the United States; Dr.
Fidelma, Neurologists of America. They are some of the
prominent Western scientists who decided to become converts
after discovering the truth of Islam [2] [3]. Yousef Easts, a
former of American pastor; Kenneth Jenkins, ex-pastor of
America; Jory Miller, a former Missionary of Canada; Mary
Wattson, a former lecturer of American theology. They are
some of the Christian clergies who decided to become
converts after they discover the truth of Islam [4].
Cat Stevens, a famous singer in the Western world;
Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson are two boxers of the world
who are so phenomenal. They are the celebrities of the world
who decided to become converts after finding the truth of
Islam [5]. A wave of acceptance of Islam as the religion of the
world is moving quickly because many Western people in
general who discovered the truth of Islam. Daily Columbia
News Service, published on March 22, 2001, wrote that there
is around 15 thousand Hispanics shift from Catholicism to
Islam in United States of America. They are spread out in
various cities such as Newark, Miami, Los Angeles and New
York [5]
The data above show that the growing of Muslim
population in the global world is not solely caused by the
development of Islam itself, but it is also supported by the
increasing of the world community that decides to become
converts after they find the truth of Islam. These developments

Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research (ASSEHR), volume 147
show that Islam as a religion is not only able to make its
adherents to survive the onslaught of current secularization
which was developed by scientists in the West since the 15th
century, but Islam is also able to attract West’s scientists,
whether from academics’ scientists, Christian’s scientists and
celebrities to accept Islam as their religion. Islam sees as it
will be a religion of the future, as projected by the Pew
Research Center.
These data also show that Islam is not an irrational
religion, as alleged by Western scientists who study religious
phenomena, such as EB Tylor (1892-1917), Lucien LevyBruhl (1857-1945), James George Frazer (1854-1941 ), and
they accuse that this religion as an opiate that damage the
human mind, as Marx Karl’s point of view on religion [6][7].
Islam is a scientific religion that can be understood and
accepted by human’s common sense. Islam is able to
accommodate Western scientists known as people who are
accustomed to thinking critically.
These developments indicate that religion in the Islamic
perspective serves as the Basic Guide (ideology) in thinking
and behaving positively for the modern man. Religion in the
Islamic perspective has a very strategic role in order to build
excellent individuals as the main pillar for the birth of an ideal
society. The desired ideal Islamic society is a happy and
prosperous society both individually and socially, as well as
people who are concerned with ecological safety [8].
This is what makes us interested in trying to use Islam as a
framework of scientific thinking in explaining the
phenomenon of multi-cultural society that is developed in the
era of globalization. This article is intended to extent the
ability of Islam in explaining the scientifically multi-cultural
society phenomenon as a proof. Islam could be developed as a
framework of scientific thinking in social view and civic
reality. Islamic experiment as a framework of scientific
thinking in explaining social phenomena has been started by
the scientists of Islam, such as Sayyed Hussein, Sayyed
Naquib Al-Attas, and Ismail al-Faruqi [9]. Kuntowijoyo is one
of the Indonesian Islamic scholars who follow the trail over
the Islamic scientists in exploring the use of Islam as a
framework of scientific thinking in seeing the social
phenomena [10]. This article is a part of the efforts they are
doing on it.
II. OBJECT, METHODOLOGY, AND APPROACH TO STUDY
The main object of this study is to create a historical
explanation of how is the process of the multi-cultural
society’s birth according to Islamic explanation, what are the
main problems faced by the multi-cultural society and how are
the solutions offered by Islam in solving the main problems
faced by the multi-cultural society.
The method used in answering the above problems is a
historical science method by making the concept of
monotheism as the major concept, assisted concept of
religious, social and other cultures in order to produce an
explanation of multi-cultural society’s history which is the
object of this study [11] [12] [13].
III. LITERATURE REVIEW
Tawhid concept is a central concept in Islam. The concept
of Tawhid is only owned by the Islamic religion.
LaailahaIlallaah is the essence of the concept of monotheism.
The concept of monotheism contains three mutual meanings
which have synergy to one another. The first meaning is the
meaning of rububiyah which states that God is a God who
created the universe and everything in it, including the man
himself. God as Creator is referred to God as a Creator,
whereas the universe and everything in it refer to the results of
the creation of God called the creature. The second meaning is
uluhiyah, which states that all of God's creatures should be
obedient to the laws that God has made and has set for each
creature. The third meaning is asthma, which states that God
has the names and properties that reflect the Perfect of God
itself as God's right to be worshiped by all of His creatures
[14].
IV. DISCUSSION
A. Human on Islam Perspective
According to the concept of monotheism, up to now, the
scientists in the West do not know the accurate meaning of a
man. The theory of evolution proposed by Charles Darwin is
still the main reference in understanding who and what human
beings. According to the theory of evolution, it holds that
modern man evolved from Primate, and primate itself evolved
from beings who had been there before. According to the
Theory of Evolution, the oldest living things are one-celled
living things which are very simple, which among others
called protozoa [15].
Christians believe that the first man was Adam, but they
are not able to explain scientifically who exactly Adam to
human common sense. The doctrine of Trinity as the parents
of Christian is increasingly difficult for Christian to be
accepted and understood by the common sense of men. In this
issue of the Trinity doctrine, Karl Marx once said: "Sollsie in
demLandeEmenglauben, dap 3 x 1 = 1)?" - "Can a believer in
a country believes that 3 x 1 = 1) [16].
Islamic religion centered on the reopening of monotheism
is able to provide a scientific explanation of a better concept of
the nature of Adam as the first man in the earth. Before we
explain who the man according to Islam we would like to
explain a weakness theory of Darwinian evolution that
explains the origin of man and how it impacts the modern
man.
Maurice Bucaille, one of the renowned scientists in
Southwestern is dubious on the theory of evolution proposed
by Charles Darwin. According to Maurice Bucaille, the
Evolution of Darwin was unable to explain scientifically how
is the process of evolution of primates into a modern man with
the changes of DNA. How DNA of primate could turn into
human DNA? This is a difficult question to be answered by
Charles Darwin [17] [18]. In addition, Charles Darwin was
also unable to explain where the origin celled creature came
from, such as protozoa. Why protozoa were there, who
manage it, and how the protozoan evolved to become
68
Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research (ASSEHR), volume 147
creatures of a higher quality? These are the main indications
that the Theory of Evolution becomes a problematic Theory of
Knowledge. As a problematic theory of knowledge, Theory of
Evolution has been partly responsible for the birth of various
ideologies problematic in modern human life, such as
capitalism, racism, fascisms and communism.
Fig 3. Based on the Theory of Human Evolution
Fig 1. Overview of Man According to Charles Darwin Evolution
B. Refuting Darwin Theory of Bananas’ Evolution
In order to strengthen the assumption that humans are
originated from a human, then we propose a theory of
knowledge that we have found empirically, namely the theory
of Bananas. "The theory of Bananas" will strengthen "Creation
Theory" proposed by HarunYahya, or "Theory of Tawhid"
which becomes the main concept in this article. According to
the theory of Bananas, man has the same status as the banana
itself, which is equally as God's creatures. Bananas justify
their theory of evolution, but evolution was occurring in the
human sphere. Such as bananas, Adam as the first human
being was big and tall, then gradually evolved into the smaller
as today's modern man.
So, Bananas reinforce the theory that the first man was
Adam and created directly by God as a God who created the
heavens, the earth and everything in it. Humans are not the
result of evolution from apes. Humans are the only creatures
of God in the universe. Humans, monkeys, and bananas are
equally as God's creatures. They differ in terms of creation.
Humans, monkeys, and bananas have their ancestors in
accordance with the "Theory of Creation" -"Theory of
Tawhid".
Fig 2. Bananas
To the end, it gets shrinking (Pygmy)
C. Knowing that Adam as an Ancestor of Multicultural
Society
In accordance with the theory of Tawhid -Creation Theory,
which is supported by the theory of Bananas, the first humans
were present on earth was Adam and his wife, Eve. They are
the ancestors of today's humans who have developed into a
multicultural society. Knowing Adam as the ancestor of a
multicultural society is the first step in formulating strategic
steps that modern man can consider themselves as parts of a
multicultural society.
Adam was created by God as God's caliph in a charge of
managing the earth as God's creation by making Islam as a
basic guide in managing the earth. As a result, Adam could
build a life that was happy, prosperous and progressive on
earth that could be enjoyed by the Children of Adam in a fair
way and humane. God explained:
"Remember when your Lord said to the angels,
'Verily I will create a vicegerent on earth ..."(Surah AlBaqarah (2): 30).
Why does God believe in man as His caliph on earth? This
question can be answered with the word of Allah in Surah AtTin.
"Verily, we created man in the most perfect form."
(Surah At-Tin: 4).
This verse corresponds to the reality of the universe as
God's creature. Scientifically speaking, humans are the most
perfect creatures of God, both physical and mental. Physically,
humans perform upright and have a body that is beautiful and
perfect. Mentally, humans have the ability to think
exceptionally when they are compared with others of God's
creatures. Perfection is what makes God establishes man as
the Caliph on earth.
Although humans are the most perfect creatures of God,
but as beings, humans are bound by one of the basic laws of
man as a creature of God, the "Law of Limitations". "Legal
Limitations" is one of the universal laws that apply to all
creatures, including humans. "The Law of Perfection" is only
for God, as the Creator. Based on that basis, Allah then sends
down the right religion (Islam) which serves the Basic Guide
for Adam and his descendants to build a positive civilization
on the earth.
Tawhid sentence which reads as "laailahailallaah"- "There
is no God of truth to be worshiped except Allah", is the origin
of the right religion (Islam) which is passed on to Adam and
his descendants. True religion (Islam) is orphaned in the
69
Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research (ASSEHR), volume 147
phrase of unity that serves as a guide to think and act for
Adam, his children, and grandchildren to be able to build a
positive civilization on earth. The positive civilization is a
civilization that is happy, prosperous, and progressive that was
enjoyed by Adam and his children fairly and humanely. So,
true religion (Islam) is the basic requirement for Adam and his
descendants to act as managers on the earth. If the straight
religion (Islam) does not exist or is marred by Adam and his
grandchildren, Adam and his descendants will be confused in
managing themselves and managing the responsibility of the
earth as caliphs. The absence or damage of the Basic Guide
potentially makes a bad society, as described by Erich Fromm,
a German cultural psychologist. Erich Fromm explained that
capitalism is the source of the growth of a bad society and
capitalism must be corrected in order to develop a good
society [19].
D. History and Roots of Community of Multicultural Conflict
Based on the concept of Tawhid, it can be established that
the emergence of today's’ multicultural is the accumulation of
a long journey of human history as a caliph on earth. It was
originated from the family of Adam and Eve as a first family
man who was mandated by God in establishing caliphate on
earth. This issue has been explained by Allah in the Qur'an.
Allah explains in Surah An-Nisa (4): 1, which states “man
came from Adam, as the first creature that God has created
from among men.” God explained again in Surah Ar-Rum
(30): 22 that stated “and among the signs of His (greatness)
are the creation of the heaven and the earth, and the difference
in language and skin color. Indeed, those are the signs for
those who know. "So these two verses assert that modern man
is derived from the family of Adam and Eve, and Adam was
the first creature that God has created among humans.
Why can humans develop into as many as the reality of a
multicultural society that exists today? This question can only
be answered by the theory of lust. Lust is a natural energy that
exists in man. Naturally, lust is driven by three natural
pleasures; they are the pleasure of romance, social pleasure,
and material comfort. Natural pleasure is what humans’ heart
and mind drove by lust (natural energy) to move actively in
building a civilization. In the process of fighting this natural
human pleasure, it is prone to conflict, either on the humans or
the surrounding environment. Allah revealed Islam as a true
religion to guide the humans’ heart and mind and other natural
pleasures are properly used according to their development
which can be enjoyed fairly and humanely [20] [21].
If the modern man lives with the problematic knowledge,
such knowledge which was based on the Theory of Evolution,
it will make modern humans very easily engage to conflicts of
interest that are very dangerous to humans’ modern life. Why
is it so? The answer is because the mind and positive behavior
in managing the natural pleasures which attract a man are not
enforced. Humans need a basic knowledge that is powerful,
understandable, and acceptable by the hearts and minds of
men to be thought and acted positively. Those are the only
ways that could make people able to enjoy togetherness on the
earth; without further involved in violent conflicts which are
very dangerous for the man himself. Knowledge of
monotheism is the basic knowledge, not the knowledge of the
others. History has proved that humans who understand the
concept of monotheism properly, they then managed to apply
the concept of positive thinking and acting as an actor of
history in his time.
E. Mutual Understanding: The Best Solution in Multicultural
Society
A long history has led the journey to the family of Adam
and Eve that grew and developed into a multicultural society.
A multicultural society is a society that has a basic knowledge
of difference. The difference of basic knowledge can be in the
form of religion, the basic character inherited from ancestors,
ideologies and rational. The Cultural difference makes a
modern man be rather prone to conflict. The conflict could
happen when people have a culture that is not built with the
core of basic knowledge in the phrase of unity.
When modern humans understand the concept of
monotheism properly, the modern men will be able to manage
multicultural society in a better way. Why is it so? The answer
is because they properly understand that they are the
descendants of Adam and Eve who are created deliberately by
God to manage the earth, to have a true religion (Islam), and
to guide their thinking and behavior. They will be able to
accept differences and they will be able to try learning the
differences in a positive mind and heart so that they can
understand each other and know each other. They are aware
that the best man among all is a man with the most excellent
quality of tawhid. It is described in Surah Al-Hujurat: 13.
"O mankind! Surely We have created you from a male and a
female and made you nations and tribes, that you may get
acquainted with one another. Surely the most honorable of you
in the Presence Allah is he who is the most pious of you.
Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.”
Thus, the above verse emphasizes about" mutual knowing
and mutual understanding to each other in the straight religion
(Islam)" which must be taken as an only way for modern
humans to manage multicultural society in a good way to
avoid conflicts that could endanger humans themselves. As the
consequence,it can make modern men are not able to enjoy
happy, prosperous and progressive life in fairly and humanely
way.
The above verse also asserts that "Man who has Tawhid is
the best man in a Multicultural Society". What is the reason?
The reason is because a person with tawhid who understands
himself as God’s creature is bound by "the law of limitations"
who then consciously makes the right religion (Islam) as a
basic guide for him to think and behave, so that he could be a
man who always thinks and behaves positively as an integral
part of a multicultural society.
What are the traits of the best man as monotheism human?
The main characteristic of Tawhid Humans is they are always
consistent in their prostrate (establish prayer) to Allah. Why
should pray for the main parameter? The answer is because
there are no other social facts which can be used as an
empirical evidence to differentiate humans who understand
tawhid properly and others who do not understand tawhid
properly, except the prayer itself. As human’s activity
70
Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research (ASSEHR), volume 147
prostration in prayer on the basis of a clear knowledge, human
beings can be said to be a social fact and the man is called the
Human One. If humans do not establish the prayer, we will
never kneel to God; whereas, if men never bow to God,
empirically, there will no other facts that can be used to show
that the men acknowledge that they are human beings who
have tawhid. Therefore, prayer is one of the empirical facts
that can be used as benchmarks of tawhid of one person. If
people already establish the prayer that men had been proven
empirically, they already recognize monotheism of God.
Furthermore, when the prayer was studied properly, prayer
will help the perpetrator to be more powerful humans in
thinking and behave positively and more powerful humans in
avoiding themselves from the problems of thoughts and
behavior. If modern men are able to understand this concept
properly, the modern man will be able to function positively in
efforts and to create a society with multicultural sound, in
which there is happiness, prosperity, and progress that is
enjoyed together in a fair and humane way.
Fig 4. Homage
About Activities: Activity of prostration is the only empirical
fact that proves humans consciously acknowledge him as
God's creatures on earth.
If people already understand the concept of monotheism
properly, then followed by establishing praying with an
awareness of ourselves as creatures of God who have
weaknesses and shortcomings; as a result, the man of
monotheism will have better strength to think and act
positively. They will be more inspired to make the teaching of
monotheism as a basic guide to their thinking and behavior.
As monotheism humans, they are not only able to respect
fellow human beings, but they are also able to appreciate the
creatures of God around them positively. In this issue, The
Prophet Muhammad SAW has been advised. The following
message is sent to the human of monotheism.
"Do not pee on the animals’ hole, on the street where passed
by people, at the shelter, in the spring, in the baths, under a
tree that is bearing fruit, or water that flows towards the
people who are bathing or washing. "(Muslim and Tirmidhi)
[22].
In another hadith, the Prophet tells:
"Avoid these two terrible things!". The Companions asked,
"Are these two acts, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied,
"People defecate in the street where people pass or where they
shelter (such as under a tree)"(Muslim) [22].
The messages of the Prophet above are clear evidences that
monotheism man has a great potential to be human beings
who are able to think and act positively and also interact with
other humans and creatures of God in their surrounding. This
underlies our monotheism human as the basic requirements for
managing a good multicultural society in the era of
globalization.
Human beings such those who have tawhid should be
developed academically; scientists in academic institutions
can develop any field of knowledge to help the modern man
achieves two multicultural heaven at once, namely inner and
outer heaven, heaven in the world and the hereafter. This is
called a concept of society rahmatanlil'alamin, which makes
people more happy, more healthy and more. Those are
positives multicultural society in all areas of life.
Case of Indonesian Muslims Protest held in Jakarta for
several times attended by millions of people from different
cultural and ethnic backgrounds, from Sabang to Merauke is a
very interesting case; monotheism man is the best man in
multicultural societies. We cannot imagine what will happen
in Jakarta if millions of mass acted several times are human
beings who already convinced Communist religion as an
opiate and capitalism as an eternal enemy. As some
experiences in various countries, then Jakarta will bear witness
to the passing of the Bloody Revolution in order to realize a
Communist society aspired by supporters.
Indonesian Muslims protest the evidence that monotheism
man is not only able to build cross-cultural communication
under the umbrella of monotheism, but monotheism humans
can also appreciate proportionately the followers of other
religions and ecological environment where monotheism
humans were. The case of protest of Indonesian Muslims
which run orderly and peaceful from the beginning to the end,
is able to provide a safe road for a pair of candidates for the
new bride of Christian in order to carry out the process of the
wedding at the church in accordance with their religion; as
well as the ability of Peace Indonesian Muslims in preserving
the ecology of Jakarta, those are the facts about monotheism
people who studied and developed academic managing society
of a good multicultural manner so that modern men can still
have safer live, happier live, more prosperous live, more
advanced live, and avoid conflicts that can harm the modern
man himself.
V. CONCLUSIONS
In Islam, core explanation of the concept of Tawhid in
multicultural society is an accumulation of a long journey of
human history that originated from the family of Adam and
Eve. True religion (Islam) is a basic need for humans in the
development of civilization. True religion (Islam) is a basic
guide that God gives to humans so that people can make the
right religion (Islam) as a guide to think and behave on the
positive effort in civilization on earth. The characteristics of
positive civilization are when the happiness, prosperity, and
progress could be enjoyed together with a fair and humane
71
Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research (ASSEHR), volume 147
manner so that the happiness, prosperity, and progress do not
belong to only a group of people.
Monotheism human is a man who understands the phrase
of unity "laailahailallaah" properly which develop a strong
consciousness to establish prayers as an empirical evidence
that humans consciously know that he is a creature of God on
earth. Islam will be the main source for modern man to
continue to think and behave positively as the main laden for
the development of a good multicultural society. On that basis,
we can affirm that the basic requirement for modern humans
living in multicultural society is Islam as a straight religion.
Islam is not a man-made religion, as believed by Western
scientists. Islam religion is a basic guide to life given directly
by God to Adam and his descendants. If Islam can be
understood and developed as a way of academic thought, then
according to our analysis, the earth will be able to be saved
from the conflicts that are not necessary and modern human
beings will be able to enjoy happy, prosperous and progressive
live together in fairly and humanely way. "Man of
monotheism is the best man as a member of multicultural
society".
