Abstract

This article discusses the influence of Wahhabi’s ideology on Aman Abdurrahman's theological thoughts and da’wa as an ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) leader in Indonesia. The primary data were obtained from the book 'Aqidah of the Prophets and Apostles' and 'Al-Urwah al Wutsqa' compiled by Aman Abdurrahman and other library materials. As a content analysis, all primary sources were read profoundly to identify Aman Abdurrahman's theological thoughts. His thoughts were then analyzed by comparing them with Wahabi’s ideology and their connection with his movement in ISIS. The study revealed that Wahhabi’s ideology influenced strongly Aman Abdurrahman's thoughts. Wahabi’s influence was evidenced by the references he used, the concept of faith and kufr, and their implications in the words and deeds of a Muslim. This study strengthened the finding of Moh. Sholehuddin’s previous research that indicated the Wahhabism influence on radical ideology in Indonesia.
