Muhammad Hatta and Indonesian Islamic Democratic Party: A Thought Dynamic of Relationship betweenReligion and Politic. Mohammad Hatta as a person who firstly proclaims RI was an initiator who had an idea ofseparated relationship between religion and politic. Hatta was someone who “responsible” for deleting sevenwords on Jakarta Charter 1945 as a spirit in integrating religion and politic. He lobbied many Islamic prominentfigures to consider deleting “sacred” words on the Jakarta Charter, “kewajiban menjalankan syari`at Islam bagipemeluk-pemeluknya” (“the compulsory to obey Islamic law for the followers) that was recommended by thenine committees. Such statement had made Hatta elder statesman who tried to separate religion from state.Otherwise, as far as he lived he used to build an Islamic in the early New Order era although it fell down. Therewere an impression that he changed his state of mind in relation to the religion and state. He took Islam as abasis of regulating politic and government. This was showed from Hatta’s effort in establishing Indonesian IslamicDemocratic Party with other muslem public figures. Looking at his background, the idea and the effort were not hisphase thought, but they were crystallization of his religious attitude that Hatta applied consistently.
