Abstract :
This study explores the teachings of Islam Jama’ah, a religious movement officially banned in Indonesia and deemed heretical by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI). Despite this, the movement has gained significant momentum, even establishing legally recognized organizations. Its core beliefs are the necessity of bai'at (allegiance), obedience to its leadership, and exclusivity in Islamic practice. This research focuses on the "Kitab Adillah," a sacred text central to the doctrine of Islam Jama’ah, particularly its Lima Bab, which serves as the foundation of the group’s practices and religious understanding. The study seeks to critically analyze the interpretation of hadiths related to the Lima Bab from an Islamic jurisprudence perspective, revealing contradictions between Islam Jama’ah’s teachings and mainstream Islamic beliefs. This research aims to understand better how these interpretations impact religious practices and contribute to broader theological discussions.
