“…19 As an organization that was founded in the era of the independence struggle movement, their ulama fought for independence, 20 they established schools as a means of reinforcing the teachings they believed to strengthen Islamic faith and dispel Islamic modernism, 21 and they preached to the Porsea valley and Karo highlands for the agenda of Islamization and fighting Christianization. 22 The spirit of this movement started from the field of education where Al Washilyah established many educational institutions in various regions in North Sumatra to reinforce the ideology of the Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamâ'ah, 23 educate the life of the ummah, and meet the availability of human resources for society and the state. In the early days they did a lot of religious studies, especially in the Al Qismul 'Aly (high school level) program, 24 as the program to prepare becoming ulama.…”

Abstract: This article attempts to explore the role of Al Washliyah University in the trajectory of modern Indonesian history, especially regarding the Islamic style they developed, the Islamic scientific authority built by both scholars and their teachings. In addition, this article examines the strategic position of the university in the 1950s socio-political setting in North Sumatra. This study is a historical study with a political sociology approach by prioritizing archival records, published historical sources, and making greater use of a wide range of oral material in the form of interviews. The results of this study indicate that UNIVA has bridged and developed the two main streams of public debate since the independence era and even now, namely regarding Islam and nationality. The thoughts of the founders have strengthened the integration between Islam and nationality in a formula to build a nation and a generation. Then, this affirmation is seen as important as the main argument in this article which allows the opening of a dialogue about how the Islamic scientific tradition that was built and developed by UNIVA scholars as a foundation for Islamic educators, actors of Islamic universities in promoting democratization and nationality, creating social cohesion. Keywords: UNIVA, Islamic higher education, Islamic authority, nationalism

“…42 Traditionalist organizations appeared in several provinces to safeguard their beliefs against increasing reformist encroachment. These organizations included Persatuan Tarbiyah Islamiyah (Perti), founded in West Sumatra in 1928 in response to sharp conflict with Muhammadiyah followers over orthodoxy 43 ; Jamiyatul Washliyah, which grew out of a debating club in an Islamic school in Medan in 1930 44 ; al-Ittihadiyah, a group that emerged in Medan among the ethnically Malay population in 1935 45 ; Rabithatul Ulama, a scholars' union in South Sulawesi founded in 1938 46 ; Musjawarattuthalibin, a traditionalist union in South Kalimantan in the 1930s 47 ; and Perikatan Umat Islam, a group based in Sukabumi, West Java that included many large Sundanese pesantren. 48 On the other side of the divide, reformist-minded organizations whose alumni greatly impacted the revolution included Persatuan Islam (Persis), founded in Bandung in 1923 by the Indonesian theologian of Indian heritage, A. Hassan 49 ; Jong Islamieten Bond (JIB), a group that grew out of associations among high school students in the Dutch educational system in 1925 50 ; and a new organization called Studenten Islam Studieclub (SIS) that emerged from JIB in 1934, targeting university students.…”

Indonesia's Islamic Revolution

Islam in Indonesia before the Revolution Indonesia today is the world's fourth most populous country and the country with more Muslims than any other. As of the 2010 census, Muslims made up roughly 87 percent of Indonesia's population, 1 and national leaders estimated a similar percentage of Muslims around the time of independence. 2 Muslims have been present in the archipelago for centuries, and Islamic sultanates were established on Sumatra as early as the thirteenth century of the common era, 3 but the early twentieth century was a time of particularly important and particularly rapid change for the Muslim community. In part, this was because they were all under the colonialism of the Netherlands and then (briefly) Japan, tying together thousands of islands in a way they had not been politically united before. In other ways, the religious changes in Indonesia in the decades before the Indonesian revolution were the result of transnational forces within Islam, leading to theological reform and modernization, new ways of organizing the Muslim community, and new ideas about the future of that community. This chapter introduces Islam in Indonesia and the upheaval of the early twentieth century to readers who do not have a solid grounding in the transformations that were taking place. This provides context against which to recognize some continuities and major changes that took place during the revolution. The basis for the changes of the early twentieth century were the long-standing institutions of Islamic life in the archipelago: scholars and schools. Change came first in the different approaches 1 Badan Pusat Statistik, "Penduduk Menurut Wilayah dan Agama yang Dianut," http:// sp2010.bps.go.id/index.php/site/tabel?tid=321&wid=0 (accessed July 21, 2017).

Abstrak: Artikel ini mengkaji kedudukan perempuan di lembaga pendidikan Al Jam’iyatul Washliyah di Sumatera Utara. Organisasi Al Washliyah merupakan organisasi Islam tradisional yang menganut mazhab Ahlussunnahwaljamaah dalam bidang akidah dan Syâfi‘iyah dalam bidang fikih. Afiliasi organisasi ini dalam kedua mazhab tersebut disinyalir akan tidak memberikan kedudukan yang setara antara perempuan dengan laki-laki. Artikel ini merupakan hasil penelitian kualitatif dimana data penelitian diperoleh dari kegiatan telaah dokumen dan observasi. Kajian ini mengajukan temuan bahwa lembaga pendidikan Al Washliyah yang dikelola oleh Majelis Pendidikan Al Washliyah ternyata belum memberikan porsi signifikan bagi kaum perempuan dalam struktur organisasinya. Tidak pernah ditemukan perempuan menjadi ketua atau sekretaris majelis, kecuali sebagai bendahara. Tetapi, kaum perempuan telah dilibatkan sebagai manajer di lembaga pendidikan Al Washliyah. Sebab, beberapa jabatan pimpinan madrasah, sekolah, dan perguruan tinggi Al Washliyah dipegang oleh kaum perempuan. Tenaga pendidik di lembaga pendidikan Al Washliyah telah banyak diisi oleh kaum perempuan. Sebagian guru dan dosen perempuan Al Washliyah telah memiliki ijazah master. Memang, beberapa dari mereka dipercayakan sebagai manajer dengan tanggung jawab yang besar. Abstract: Women in Al Jam’iyatul Washliyah Educational Institution. This article examines women’s position in Al Jam’iyatul Washliyah educational institutions in North Sumatra. Al Washliyah organization is a traditional Islamic organization that practices the Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamâ‘ah theology and Shâfi‘i school of law. It has been alledged that these school of theology and law would not allow equal opportunity for man and woman. Nevertheless, this study—which mainly based on document review and observation—found that that was not exactly the case. While it is true that in Al Washliyah Education Council women are under respresented, the condition is much better in educational institutions. In Al Washliyah educational institutions, it is common to find female teachers and lecturers with master degrees. Indeed, some of them are entrusted as managers with substantial responsibilities.
