Hasyim Asy`ari didasari oleh tauhid dan anti fanatisme dalam masyarakat Muslim. Kenyataan bahwa disintegrasi menjadi problem dunia Islam kontemporer telah membuat ide KH. Hasyim Asy`ari menjadi urgen, dan dapat menjadi solusi alternatif bagi problem umat tersebut. Abstract: The Contextualization of KH. Hasyim Asyari’s View on the Muslim Unity.
