The Theology of PBNU

By : Nasaruddin Umar

KH Said Aqil Siroj had been at times dubbed the Four Pillars of Nation and State Building as “PBNU” (Pancasila, Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, NKRI, and UUD 1945). As the general leader of the General Committe of Nahdlatul Ulama (Pengurus Besar Nahdlatul Ulama/PBNU), the statement above can be regarded as a claim for theological legitimacy to the Pillars.

This claim is not groundless. The formulation of the Pillars were involving several figures of Islam organization Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), one of them was the founder of the organization KH Hasyim Asy’ari, who were present in various formulation around “PBNU.” Looking through the historical journey, there are several moments of encountering and empowering between “PBNU” and PBNU. The vision and the mission of PBNU emphasizingly must be in line with “PBNU.”
