Abstract

The people of a country usually share a common history, language, culture, ethnicity and religion. However, these factors do not necessarily make the unity of the country strong. Instead, the basis of state unity is psychological, namely nationalism. On the other hand, classical Islamic politics offers the issue of khilafah, which is now being discussed again in the Indonesian media. Some Muslims in Indonesia are Arab descent who live in the northern coastal cities of Java, and Semarang is one of them. This research answers the questions: 1. What are the factors that form the Arab ethnicity in Semarang and how they try to maintain their sustainability; 2. What is the direction of their nationalism. This research uses Anthropology approach and al-Jabiri’s theory, al-aql al-siyasi al-araby, as an analytical tool. The conclusion: 1. The factor forming their ethnicity is the primordial character of ethnicity itself. The efforts they make: endogamy marriage, forming a haba’ib association, and compiling typical prayers and shalawat-shalawat; 2. Their nationalism is the same as the nationalism of the indigenous Indonesian population, only, it is not ethnicity that directs it, it is the economy and religion that support and determine the direction of their nationalism.
