ECOTHEOLOGY: THE BASIC VALUES OFINDONESIAN ISLAMIC STUDENT MOVEMENT (PMII)

Abstract

The thinking foundation of a movement is determined by the built ideology, one of the early foundations in a
movement,the role of ideology is very important in shaping the characteristics and direction of a movement.
Similar with the Indonesian Islamic Student Movement (PMII), ideologically, it is based on ahlussunnah wal
jama’ah. The ideology of the PMII movement is viewed in the form of the Basic Values of Movement (NDP)
which are affirmed in the concept of; monotheism, hablumminallah, hablum minannas, and hablum minal
alam. The NDP is what shapes the characteristics of the student movement organization which is expected
to be the answer to current problems. The NDP as a reference in the movement conforms the Islamic ummah
guidelines, namely Al-quran and hadith, therefore, the essence of the guidelines is reflected in the Basic Values
of Movement. The harmony of religious teachings and the ideology of the movement forms a tangent to the
discussion of ecotheology. Ecotheology is present in a combination of two scientific clusters, namely ecology and
theology, and is expected to provide scientific contributions in accordance with environmental theology, or the
relationship between religious teachings and the environment.
