Abstract
Abstract The world’s largest and most moderate Sunni Muslim civil society movement, Nahdlatul Ulama, is not just bent on reforming Islam. By setting an example and engaging with major other religious groups, including those that propagate a supremacist interpretation of their faith, Nahdlatul Ulama hopes to spark a reform movement encompassing the world’s major religions. The Indonesian group’s concept of Humanitarian Islam calls for reform of religious jurisprudence to eliminate what it calls outdated and “obsolete” elements of the sharīʿa or Islamic law. Humanitarian Islam advocates political and religious pluralism and endorses unambiguously the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As such, Humanitarian Islam pits Nahdlatul Ulama against autocratic rulers like Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed, who propagate an autocratic form of moderate Islam that is socially more liberal yet politically repressive, endorsing the principle of obedience to the ruler.
