Muhammadiyah President Encourages Open-Mindedness in Religious Interpretations

MUHAMMADIYAH.OR.ID, YOGYAKARTA – President of Muhammadiyah Haedar Nashir expressed concerns over the rising secular trend and its impact on religious beliefs. He emphasized the importance of maintaining strong religious values while also avoiding a narrow interpretation of religion that could alienate people.

Haedar mentioned that, while many people are turning away from traditional religions, the human need for spirituality remains. He noted a growing trend of individuals seeking alternative forms of spirituality that are not tied to traditional religious doctrines.

Haedar connected this trend to the growing secularization of society, particularly in the West. He noted that historical figures such as Max Weber, Émile Durkheim, and Karl Marx, despite starting with religious beliefs, became disillusioned with religion over time due to its rigid interpretations. A narrow understanding of religion can be a barrier to people connecting with their faith.

“Thus, Muhammadiyah education should instill strong values without limiting religious understanding. We don’t want religion to become a ‘cage’ that keeps people away from faith,” said Haedar on Tuesday, October 29 at the third anniversary ceremony of Universitas Siber Muhammadiyah at SM Tower.

Haedar also addressed the rapid advancement of technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), and its potential impact on human society. While acknowledging the capabilities of AI, he emphasized the unique qualities of human beings, such as creativity and critical thinking.

“Education should encourage us to think critically and innovatively. We need to embrace the use of AI, but we should also continue to sharpen our minds and abilities,” said Haedar.

By fostering a balance between intellectual pursuits and spiritual growth, Muhammadiyah aims to produce graduates who are not only knowledgeable but also possess strong moral character. Haedar hoped that Muhammadiyah education can cultivate a generation that is capable of addressing the challenges of the modern world while remaining rooted in their faith.
