- Abstract
This paper discusses the development of tolerant character in dealing with the differences ofmazhabfiqh(school of thought within Islamic jurisprudence) through the development of four aspects, namely spiritual and emotional, intellectual, physical and kinesthetic, as well as affective and creativity. These four aspects become the standard of assessing religious tolerance in Makassar City.The more scholars have mujtahid (one who is empowered to interpret legal issues not explicitly address in the Qur’an) capacity, the more fertile and flourishing fiqh ‘flowers’ produce a fresh and natural scent will be. As a result, it will impact on the dynamics and variations of worship practices that can refresh the umat (Islam followers) in dynamic nuances.One of the indicators of a flourishing fiqh is seen from different opinions or ikhtilafulama (scholarly religious disagreement) that occur among the fuqaha(Islamic jurists). Hence, fiqh is one of the Islamic teachings that upholds and appreciates tolerance and moderation of opinions, as well as opens the opportunity for the widest possible divergence of views.The freedom to choose which mazhabor ulama(Islamic scholar) as a role model is individual rights in Islam. Nevertheless, a proper and profound attitude toward the essence of fiqh will avoid fanaticism, and increase one’ s tolerance instead. This is what we call educating umat to be tolerant in practicing Islam.
