| description | Rebellion against the government is one of the main impetuses of radicalism and extremism that disturb public peace and tranquillity. Rebels or ‘bughah’ is the biggest criminals in Islam. This article attempts to qualitatively revisit the etymological and jurisprudential perspective of bughah by linguists and jurists to grasp the concept and overcome resistance. By library research using content analysis upon selected authoritative works of Arabic dictionaries and the Shafi’i school of law, this study concludes that bughah, in terms of language, is resistance and rebellion of a leader and government because of the act of violence and transgression. Regarding jurisprudence, resisting the government is a sin and forbidden. Bughah could only be determined if they have force, motive, and a de facto leader. In overcoming resistance, the government should prioritise discussion and compromise in making a deal to put down the insurgence while using force to eliminate the opposition. In conclusion, the understanding and process of dealing with bughah in Islamic scholarly tradition is quite a beauty. Bughah is the violence of citizens upon their leader. Thus, the leader should act firmly but forgiving, just like a father treats his rebellious child compassionately. |
