  • PEMIKIRAN DAN TINDAKAN POLITIK HASAN TIRO Oleh: Abrar Muhammad Yus Mahasiswa Program Pascasarjana UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh E-Mail: [email protected]
    PEMIKIRAN DAN TINDAKAN POLITIK HASAN TIRO Oleh: Abrar Muhammad Yus Mahasiswa Program Pascasarjana UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh e-mail: [email protected] Abstrak Pergolakan politik rakyat Aceh pada dasarnya bersifat kesinambungan perjuangan politik bagi rakyat dan bangsa Aceh. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari banyaknya tokoh-tokoh pejuang politik Aceh yang lahir dan dikenal kegigihannya dalam memperjuangkan ide-ide perjuangannya. Untuk melakukan kajian terhadap tokoh-tokoh tersebut, dapat dilihat dari pendekatan ataupun pola serta periode perjuangan politik yang dilakukan oleh para tokoh tersebut. Hasan Tiro sebagai tokoh “pejuang-politik” disamping itu ia juga sebagai “pemikir- pejuang” misalnya, secara umum dapat dilihat dalam tiga periode perjuangannya yaitu: pertama, periode ketika ia masih muda dan sekaligus sebagai penerus perjuangan Tgk. Daud Beureueh, kedua, periode ketika mendeklarasikan Gerakan Aceh Merdeka (GAM), dan ketiga, periode penyesuaian perjuangan politik yang dalam periode ini Hasan Tiro mengalami pergeseran nilai ide-ide perjuangan politiknya, dari semangat nilai-nilai keagamaan berubah kearah yang kecenderungannya bersifat “sekuler”. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari perubahan tujuan perjuangan Hasan Tiro, serta pola perjuangan politiknya yang pada akhirnya harus berakhir di meja perundingan Helsinki. Kata Kunci: pemikiran politik, hasan tiro A. Sketsa Sosial-Politik Hasan Tiro Sejarah mencatat bahwa rakyat Aceh tidak dapat ditaklukkan oleh Belanda dengan cara yang militeristik, karena perang terhadap Belanda dalam pandangan rakyat Aceh merupakan perang suci “jihad fisabilillah,” yang bermakna jika mati akan disebut syahid karena didorong oleh semangat aqidah Islamiyah, yang sudah mengakar sangat kuat dalam pemahaman rakyat Aceh. Oleh karena itu, perang ini telah melibatkan semua lapisan masyarakat tidak terkecuali siapapun bahkan kaum perempuan sekalipun. Para ulama berperan penting dalam mengobarkan semangat jihad dalam perang tersebut.

This focus deal with the dynamics existed in the Shafi’ite books. It should be done in the wise manner, for the dynamics it self was triggered by the certain situation and condition, different contexts, space, time, geography, circumstance and the condition of the nature that give birth to the different legal regulation. To understand the dynamics that occurred in those Shafi’ite books easily, we may borrow the rules of Arabic syntax namely ‘ilm nahw, associated with the rule of istitsna’ which consisted of six letters; illa, ‘adaa, siwa, ghairu, khala and hasya. Those six letters have the same function that is the exemption, but the usage of each letter in the sentence has different rule in Arabic grammar. The dynamics rise dualism of Islamic jurisprudence in Aceh, in which the sharia court refer to the Compilation of Islamic Jurisprudence, while tengku ( local muslim scholars) in Dayah refer to the turas book of Shafi’ite school. Slowly, the friction started between the legal decision issued by the sharia court and the fatwas issued by the tengku of Dayah (local Islamic boarding school), for instance, the issue of talaq, inheritance and other legal issues.

  • Malik Mahmud Legal Strongmen? March 2019
    Vol. 2 No. 1 Malik Mahmud Legal Strongmen? March 2019 ARIF AKBAR Universitas Gadjah Mada Yogyakarta, Indonesia [email protected] 38 ABSTRACT The Helsinki MoU agreed by the Indonesian Government, and the Free Aceh Movement provided Received: January 28, 2019 Revised: March 6, 2019 an opportunity for Aceh to have a customary institution called the Wali Nanggroe institution. This Accepted: March 13, 2019 opportunity was used by the DPRA which was dominated by the Aceh Party by confirming Malik Mahmud Alhaitar as the Naggroe Aceh Mayor, in the Aceh Party structure Malik Mahmud was one of the leaders of this local Party, so it was possible to have a dual role played by the figure of Wali Naggroe. The inauguration of Malik Mahmud as the Wali Nanggroe also indirectly gave rise to a local number of Strongmen within the structure of the Acehnese community, given the position of the Wali Nanggroe as a position that was highly respected in the construction of Acehnese people's lives. Moving on from the above problems, this study wants to see how the role of the State in giving birth to local Strongmen within the structure of Acehnese society. This study uses a type of qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Data sources are obtained through interviews and observations and documentation. Data is processed through data collection, data reduction, data display and conclusion drawing. This research borrows his theorist Jonh T Sidel and Migdal who have formulated how the formation of Local Strongmen or Bossism and the characteristics of both. Based on the results in the field, it shows that the Local Strongmen could emerge because of the involvement of the state in them, the participation of the country is not limited to allowing the birth of Local Strongmen but more than that, the state also provides legal standing for Local Strongmen Keywords: Local Strongmen, Wali Nanggroe.

International Development Studies THE ULAMA IN ACEH IN TIME OF CONFLICT, TSUNAMI AND PEACE PROCESS AN ETHNOGRAPHIC APPROACH (71 pp.) Director of Thesis: Elizabeth Fuller Collins Aceh, the "Veranda of Mecca," has the reputation of being the most deeply Muslim region in Indonesia. Because of its traditional value system, ulama have had broad influence in Acehnese society. I describe the role of the ulama in Aceh as leaders of resistance to Dutch colonialism and show how their influence declined over the last thirty years. Since 1976 when the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) demanded independence from the Indonesian government, Aceh has been the site of a militarized conflict. During this time the role of the ulama declined as the authoritarian government of former president, Suharto (1967-1998) tried to co-opt their support and GAM demanded their allegiance. After a tsunami hit Aceh in December 2004, the government and GAM negotiated a peace accord. I describe the reemergence of ulama in post-tsunami Aceh and argue that they should be given a more significant role in reconstruction.

  • Modeling Aceh: Essays on Resource Management, Inflation, and Social Capital
    MODELING ACEH: ESSAYS ON RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, INFLATION, AND SOCIAL CAPITAL A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Saiful Mahdi January 2011 © 2011 Saiful Mahdi MODELING ACEH: ESSAYS ON RESOURCE CURSE, INFLATION, AND SOCIAL CAPITAL Saiful Mahdi, Ph.D. Cornell University 2011 This dissertation is a collection of three papers that cover contemporary issues at centre stage in the development of Aceh, Indonesia. The first, ‗Testing the resource curse hypothesis in Aceh‘, empirically tests the resource curse hypothesis in this oil- and-gas rich region. Using data from 1975 to 2006, the model results reject the hypothesis of a resource curse. The empirical models indicate that the boom in the mining sector in Aceh from the late 1970s until the mid-1980s did not reduce the output of the non-mining manufacturing and agriculture sectors as predicted by the resource curse theory. On the contrary, the increase in mining output actually had a positive impact on the other two sectors‘ output. Conflict, on the other hand, although not being significant in the model, shows a negative relationship with output in non- mining manufacturing and in agriculture. The Asian economic crisis, interestingly, is also found to have had a positive impact on the non-mining manufacturing and agricultural sector. The second paper, ‗Determinants of inflation in Aceh‘, examines inflation behaviour in Aceh before and after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. The wild increase in inflation in post-tsunami Aceh was assumed to be influenced by two ‗shocks‘: the tsunami and the nation-wide fuel price increase in 2005.

By fomenting the spirit of war sabil, the fighters with local residents made war against the Dutch as a form of jihad against the unbelievers in order to maintain the area and belief of Islam is embraced. In the face of Dutch troops, the fighters in the Gayo and Alas region used several strategies, among which were the implantation of the Sabil War Ideology, warfare, and guerrilla warfare. Through the implementation of the strategy, the fighters are able to provide fierce resistance and can survive for a long time against the attack of Dutch troops. The Gayo and Alas people's resistance has begun to dwindle since some of the leaders of the fight have been killed and captured by Dutch troops. This led to a decline in resistance because it was no longer well organized as the combatants lost their command. Keywords: war strategy; Gayo and Alas; Dutch colonial.

  • Imperial Alchemy: Nationalism and Political Identity in Southeast Asia
    This page intentionally left blank Imperial Alchemy The mid twentieth century marked one of the greatest watersheds of Asian history, when a range of imperial constructs were declared to be nation-states, either by revolution or by decolonisation. Nationalism was the great alchemist, turning the base metal of empire into the gold of nations. To achieve such a transformation from the immense diversity of these Asian empires required a different set of forces from those that Europeans had needed in their transitions from multi-ethnic empires to culturally homogeneous nations. In this book Anthony Reid, one of the premier scholars of Southeast Asia, explores the mysterious alchemy by which new political identities have been formed. Taking Southeast Asia as his example, Reid tests contemporary theory about the relation between modernity, nationalism and ethnic identity. Grappling with concepts emanating from a very different European experience of nationalism, Reid develops his own typology to better fit the formation of political identities such as the Indonesian, Malay, Chinese, Acehnese, Batak and Kadazan. anthony reid is a Southeast Asian Historian now again based at the Australian National University, Canberra, but previously at the National University of Singapore (2002–9), where he established the Asia Research Institute, and University of California, Los Angeles (1999–2002). His other recent books include Southeast Asia in the Age of Commerce (2 vols, 1988–93), Charting the Shape of Early Modern Southeast Asia (1999), An Indonesian Frontier: Acehnese and Other Histories of Sumatra (2004), and, as [co]editor, Islamic Legitimacy in a Plural Asia (2007), Chinese Diaspora in the Pacific (2008) and Negotiating Asymmetry: China’s Place in Asia (2009).
