Pesan Silaturahmi Dalam Pemikiran Hadratussyaekh Muhammad Hasyim Asy’ari Pada Kitab At-Tibyan

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of the message of silaturahmi (maintaining kinship ties) in the thought of Hadratussyaikh Muhammad Hasyim Asy’ari as presented in the book At-Tibyan for society. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive approach (library research) with primary data obtained from secondary sources such as books, articles, journals, and related literature. It upholds the value of kinship in social life, where regional traditions and arts serve as means to strengthen religious and social bonds. The government and religious leaders actively socialize the importance of maintaining harmonious kinship relations without religious discrimination. They also counter hoaxes that could trigger conflicts and organize forums to improve interfaith relations and foster togetherness. The social life of Indonesian society shows that silaturahmi is not merely a theory but is practiced daily. Based on Herbert Blumer’s symbolic interaction theory, harmony is established through social symbols reflecting respect, cooperation, and tolerance. The tradition of visiting each other during religious holidays is a concrete example of this moderation practice. This study is expected to contribute significantly to the development of religious moderation in Indonesia.
