    20 Rahmawati Baharuddin Islamic Education In West Sumatra: Historical Point Of View By Rahmawati Baharuddin Abstract Paper ini berfokus pada sejarah singkat pertumbuhan dan perkembangan pendidikan Islam di Minangkabau sebelum dan sesudah munculnya gerakan pembaharuan Muhammadiyah. Perkembangan pendidikan Islam itu sendiri dimulai berbarengan dengan kedatangan Islam di Sumatera Barat. Gagasan reformis gerakan Muhammadiyah dalam bidang sosial keagamaan pada abad ke-20 memberikan sumbangsih yang besar terhadap perkembangan modemisme Islam di Sumatera Barat dan telah memberikan wama terhadap sistem pendidikan di Indonesia. A. Introduction Many scholars have argued that the rise and growth of Islamic education in one region began with the preaching oflslam which mainly conducted through the medium of education. Mahmud Yunus, 1 a great Indonesian educator, for instance, thought that Aceh, a region located at the northern tip of Sumatra, was the first part of Indonesia whose its inhabitants were converted to Islam. 2 However, scholars do not agree on the exact moment that Islam was introduced into the Indonesian archipelago. This difference of opinion stems from the fact that the factual data on the earliest period of Islam in the archipelago are so scanty. Nevertheless, we can classify their opinions into two categories. The Ulul Albab, Vol. 5 No. 1, 2004 Islamic Education In West Sumatra 21 first group, most of them Dutch scholars, such as Pijnappel, hold the opinion that Islam was first introduced into Indonesia in the twelfth century by Shii.f'f Arabs from Gujarat and Malabar. His opinion was based on the fact that these regions are mentioned so frequently in the early history of the Indonesian archipelago.3 The same holds true for Snouck Hurgronje, who believed that the twelfth century was the most probable date for the lslamization of the Indonesian archipelago.

  • Matrilineal Inheritance and Migration in a Minangkabau Community R. J
    M atrilineal Inheritance and M igration in a M inangkabau Community R. J. Chadwick Minangkabau and Marantau The matrilineal and uxorilocal Minangkabau population of West Sumatra is composed of about five hundred self-contained communities called nagari. These communities are geographically discrete, largely endogamous, and formerly self-governing.1 Each nagari has a specific ecological and economic adaptation according to its situation at home2 and pro­ duces a specific adaptation to city life among its very large emigre population. Migration from one's home nagari to another area is called marantau. Marantau is an ancient trend among the Minangkabau,3 is intrinsic to immemorial social process, and is functionally implicated in the social structure of villages in the homeland. But even in the 1 During my first fieldwork in Minangkabau, Koto Anu, the community I researched, did not constitute an ad­ ministrative unit in its own right. Together with a distant neighbor, the nagari Koto Apo, it was one part of an artificially created administrative unit, the kenegarian of Kaduo Koto (the two settlements). Under Dutch rule, it constituted one of the six communities in a different administrative unit, the lareh of Anam Koto (six settle­ ments). Neither lareh nor kenegarian were perceived as having any sociological relevance for Koto Anu people. (Like Koto Anu, the names Koto Apo, Kaduo Koto, and Anam Koto are pseudonyms.) The Village Law of 1979 (see Tsuyoshi Kato, "Different Fields, Similar Locusts: Adat Communities and The Village Law of 1979 in Indo­ nesia" Indonesia 20:89-114) constituted Koto Anu as a minimal administrative unit (desa) for the first time in liv­ ing memory and thus redressed the situation for Koto Anu people, at least.
