Abstract

This research aims to examine the values ​​of Islamic political ethics depicted in the film Sang Kiai through the character KH. Hasyim Asy'ari and saw his struggle from the perspective of siyasah fiqh. In Islam, politics is not only understood as an attempt to gain power, but is also related to moral responsibility, trust, justice, deliberation, honesty and protection of the interests of the people. The film Sang Kiai shows the struggle of KH. Hasyim Asy'ari when facing Japanese colonialism, especially when he refused to pay respects to the Japanese Emperor which was considered contrary to Islamic teachings. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive analytical approach through literature study and film content analysis. The research results show that KH. Hasyim Asy'ari reflects Islamic political ethics through an attitude of trustworthiness in leading, courage to defend justice, implementation of deliberation, steadfastness in conveying the truth, and concern for the condition of the people. From the perspective of siyasah fiqh, his struggle is a form of siyasah syar'iyyah which aims to protect religion, protect society, and fight unjust power. His attitude toward Japanese colonialism demonstrates that Islamic politics is not merely about power, but also a moral struggle for the common good. This research is expected to increase understanding of the importance of Islamic political ethics in contemporary social life and leadership.
