Abstract
The application of modern political systems in the lives of Muslims often elicits a variety of responses, both for and against. This study aims to describe the thoughts of a prominent Indonesian Muslim scholar named M. Quraish Shihab regarding the paradigm of Islamic politics amid social diversity in the state. This qualitative study in the form of media observation uses data from the YouTube channel (Najwa Shihab) which contains content on M. Quraish Shihab's views using content analysis.The results of the study show that, according to M. Quraish Shihab, it is important for Muslims to have a moderate Islamic political paradigm towards the implementation of modern political systems in the plurality of social life in a state, such as a democratic system that can be interpreted accommodatively as a modern concept of shura. This is as long as the implementation of the political system can be a medium for the benefit of pluralistic social life without neglecting religiosity. This research emphasises the importance of understanding the universalism of Islamic political values as the basis for an adaptive and inclusive Islamic political paradigm.
