520 |a This study examines the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), the contemporery Islamic movement in South Philippines. It analyzes the movement's historical background, origin, ideology, objectives, means to achieve its objectives, programs and activities, its influences to the Moro people, and characteristics. The study used exploratory and critical analysis. And, the major sources of data are Salamat Hashim's published works in English, press conferences, sermon (khutbah), speeches and lectures in Maguindanaon language which are recorded in audio tapes as well as the movement's monthly publications. Furthermore, secondary sources like books, journals, news papers, magazines and internet articles which are relalted to the MILF are allso consulted. The MILF is currently leading the Moro jihad against the Philippine government. Its major aim is to make the word of Allah Supreme. Since 1970s, the MILF has been working for the independence of Mindanao, revival of Islam and establishedment of an Islamic state. It emerged as the continuation of the centuries-old Moro resistance againsty foreign domination and colonialism to maintain their religious belief, freedom and independence. It was originated by the young Moro students abroad led by Salamat Hashim, now and 'alim, who firmly adheres to an Islamic ideology based on the concept of tawhid. Using da'wah and jihad as means to achieve tis goals, the MILF has been able to change the outlooks of many of the Moros into Islamic line. It has revived the spirit of jihad among the Moro youths, and Islamic order and government become the common aspirations of many of the Moro people. The MILF as an Islamic movement can be characterized as an advocate of Iislamization, having strong organization, military power, an self-reliance to reach the aim of Islamic revival. Using the Qur'anic guideline and the Prophetic experiences in dealing with his enemies, the MILF tends to be a pragmatic movement in dealing with the challenges posed by the Philippine government. Its policy is to fight the enemies if they fight and to incline with peace if they want peace until the goal is finally achieved.
