Submission Description

Ideological Doctrine of Islamic Philanthropy in Indonesia
 

This research investigates the ideological doctrines of Indonesia's largest Muslim communities, Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama, in practicing creative philanthropy. The findings show that the Aswaja doctrine has a major role in encouraging the flourishing of philanthropic practices in the NU community. In the Muhammadiyah community, the Risalah Islam Berkemajuan (RIB) doctrine is important. Nahdlatul Ulama has an innovative fundraising model through the Gerakan Koin NU. Gerakan Koin NU is the collection of small changes through an infaq box distributed to Nahdliyyin (NU members). The cultural NU community conducts incidental fundraising based on mosques, muludan, haul, pilgrimages, and other religious traditions. Meanwhile, Muhammadiyah organizationally optimizes the role of LazisMU more than NU through LazizNU. In addition, Muhammadiyah also formed the Muhammadiyah Endowment Fund. Technically, Muhammadiyah's creative forms of religious fundraising are online, cash, and congregation raising.
