Viewpoint

Indonesia's Stance on the United States and Israel's Attack on Iran

Lukman Hakim Saifuddin, Chairman of the Constitutional Forum, emphasized that Indonesia's position regarding the United States and Israel's attack on Iran must be fully based on the constitution. Lukman, in his statement on Sunday, 1 March 2026 CE, reminded that the Preamble of the 1945 Constitution explicitly obliges Indonesia to participate in maintaining world order based on freedom, eternal peace, and social justice. Therefore, the Indonesian government must clearly emphasize to the world that armed attacks by Israel and United States constitute a violation of peace. He added: These attacks, which resulted in hundreds of casualties, contradict the principles of peace and international legal norms. He also emphasized the humanitarian aspects of these attacks, which occurred during the month of Ramadan.

He said: Attacking a Muslim country during the month of Ramadan is completely merciless and disregards the global community of fasting Muslims. Lukman also emphasized the importance of constitutional mechanisms in addressing international dynamics. He referred to Article 11 of the 1945 Constitution, which stipulates that the President's authority to declare war, make peace, and conclude treaties with other countries requires the approval of the House of Representatives (DPR), and the Constitution stipulates that if the President wishes to declare war, make peace, or conclude treaties with other countries, he must do so with the approval of the (DPR). International treaties that have a widespread and fundamental impact on people's lives and involve government financial burdens must also obtain (DPR) approval. The President and the House of Representatives must fulfill the duty of Article 11 of the 1945 Constitution. He added that in the framework of the worsening global situation, the government is expected to continue to uphold Indonesia's dignity as an independent, united, sovereign, just, and prosperous nation. He argued that all forms of international agreements must adhere to the principles of humanity, justice, public welfare, and equality[1].

Defending the People of Palestine is a Humanitarian Struggle

Lukman Hakim Saifuddin, Minister of Religious Affairs, said: The struggle to defend the people of Palestine is a humanitarian struggle and not just a religious one. It is true that there is a religious aspect that overlaps with this struggle, but this humanitarian struggle is beyond all religious communities. Lukman also noted that the founding fathers of Indonesia emphasized in the Preamble of the 1945 Constitution that independence is the right of all nations, while Palestine is a nation that has been colonized for decades, and even in the era of globalization, when we, as aligned nations and fellow humans, should prioritize cooperation over competition, let alone humiliation or elimination of each other[2].

The Necessity of Correct Understanding of Religious Teachings

Lukman Hakim Saifuddin, former Minister of Religious Affairs of Indonesia, told students at Jakarta University: Religious moderation refers to a balanced lifestyle, avoiding extremism and excess, and experiencing religious teachings in moderation. Because in principle, Islam itself is already a moderate and complete religion. He said: There are two factors in the correct understanding of religious teachings, namely external and internal factors. Externally, many people experience stress due to global competition and increasing intense competition for life due to advances in information technology. Therefore, the role of religion becomes more necessary and important, so that humans need religion as a way of life. Second, internally, in the Indonesian context, Indonesia has various ethnic groups, ethnicities, cultures, and religions. In addition, the Indonesian nation is also known as a religious nation and has great respect for local wisdom.

In this context, the role of religion in all aspects of life, whether in daily life, as a nation, or in government, is very critical. In other words, religion becomes a foundation whose goal orientation will be in the direction of the nation's goal orientation. Since religion is considered important and strategic, we must implement religious teachings with moderation. The problem is that there are multiple interpretations or various interpretations, so that it raises different opinions. Therefore, once again, religious moderation means that we do not over-define reasons in translating religious teachings. Rather, on the contrary, how to contextualize religious teachings according to the demands of the times[3].
