Keywords: Growth, Development, Islamic Organization ITQAN, Vol. 11, No.1, Jan-June 2020 Junaidi Arsyad 150 INTRODUCTION The emergence of large Islamic organizations in Indonesia originated from the growing attitudes of patriotism and nationalism as well as a reaction to the conditions that occurred in Indonesian society at the end of the 19th century, which experienced a complete stagnation in the struggle for independence from all forms of colonialism and Dutch colonial hegemony by forming an organization as an initial step towards the realization of national and state awareness to escape from the shackles of colonialism (Enung & Fenti, 2006: 79). By persevering and sacrificing life and property, through this organization, Muslims contributed greatly to the struggle for independence for the Indonesian nation. The Muslims through this organization in turn will have a big share in the struggle for independence. With persistence and requiring a lot of sacrifice of life and property, many heroes who died in the battlefield as the nation's mainstay. From this Islamic organization, the attitude and sense of nationalism among the people can be grown and developed through education (Hasbullah, 1996: 91). The spirit of struggle of these Islamic figures then formed a kind of association of Islamic movements which originally intended to fight with the people against the colonialists, as well as trying to advance the nation through education which they later fought for. Even though there are many Islamic associations and organizations, the basis remains Islam, which aims to advance Islam and seize independence from colonialists. Among the many births of Islamic associations and organizations, in this paper, the author will only present three major Islamic organizations in Indonesia starting from Muhammadiyah (1912), Nahdhatul Ulama (1926), and Al-Jam'iyatul Washliyah (1930). From the three organizations, he will present a systematization starting from the growth, development and thinking of the three large organizations.

Washliyah. The steps taken in this research are starting from selecting and formulating problems, determining objectives, providing limitation of the area or scope of research, tracing and collecting literature sources related to the growth and development of major Islamic organizations in Indonesia, which is then given an interpretation. and a description of the research results in written form as presented in this paper (Moh. Nazir, 1988: 73-74). RESEARCH FINDINGS Growth and Development of Muhammadiyah (1912) As it is known that the Muhammadiyah organization is the largest Islamic social forum engaged in the social sector characterized by Islam. Geographically and ethnically, the membership is very wide spread throughout the archipelago. Even today, Muhammadiyah is present in Indonesia's territory and has branches in several Asean countries, although the relationship between them and their parent in Indonesia is more aspirational than instructive (Masnun, 2001: 252). As an Islamic organization since its inception, it has concentrated its movement substantially in the Islamic movement and preaching amar ma'ruf nahi munkar in a broad sense, namely inviting people to be Muslim, straightening Muslim Islam and improving the quality of their lives both intellectually, socially, economically and politics (Ma'arif, 1995: 10). Based on the official website of Muhammadiyah, Muhammadiyah was founded by KH Ahmad Dahlan in Kauman Village, Yogyakarta on the 8th of Dzulhijjah 1330 H / 18 November 1912. Muhammadiyah itself comes from the Arabic language "Muhammad" which is the name of the last Prophet, then got 'ya nisbah' which means type. So Muhammadiyah means Muhammad's followers or Muhammad's followers. The goal is to uphold and uphold the religion of Islam, so that the real Islamic community can be realized (muhammadiyah.or.id). Muhammadiyah association was established to support KH. Ahmad Dahlan to purify Islamic teachings which are considered to be heavily influenced by mystical things. Initially, this activity also had a da'wah base for women and young people in the form of the Sidratul Muntaha recitation. In addition, the role in education was manifested in the establishment of primary and secondary schools, known as Hooge School Muhammadiyah ITQAN, Vol. 11, No.1, Jan-June 2020 Junaidi Arsyad 152 and subsequently changed its name to Kweek School Muhammadiyah (now known as Madrasah Mu'allimin for boys, which is located in Patang Puluhan District Wirobrajan and Mu. 'allimat Muhammadiyah for women, in Suronatan Yogyakarta). During the leadership of Ahmad Dahlan (1912-1923), Muhammadiyah's influence was limited to residencies such as: Yogyakarta, Surakarta, Pekalongan, and Pekajangan, the present Pekalongan area. Apart from Yogya, Muhammadiyah branches were established in these cities in 1922. In 1925, Abdul Karim Amrullah brought Muhammadiyah to West Sumatra by opening a branch in Sungai Batang, Agam. Within a relatively short time, the Muhammadiyah wave had spread throughout West Sumatra, and from this area Muhammadiyah then moved throughout Sumatra, Sulawesi and Kalimantan. In 1938, Muhammadiyah had spread throughout Indonesia. There is also a special women's organization called Aisyiyah. Muhammadiyah is an Islamic movement, preaching amar ma'ruf nahi munkar, has Islamic flavor and is based on the Koran and hadith. The Muhammadiyah movement intends to emulate and emulate the footsteps of the struggle of the Prophet Muhammad, in order to uphold and uphold the Islamic religion solely for the realization of 'Izzul Islam wal Muslims, the glory of Islam as an ideal and the glory of life as reality. The main factor that led to the establishment of Muhammadiyah was the result of KH Ahmad Dahlan's in-depth study of the Koran in examining, discussing, researching and studying its contents. In Surah Ali Imran verse 104 it is said that: "And there should be among you all the people who call on virtue, tell the good and prevent the evil, they are the lucky ones". Understanding the call, KH Ahmad Dahlan was moved to build an orderly and tidy association, organization or association whose task is to serve in the implementation of the mission of Islamic preaching amar ma'ruf nahi munkar in the community (muhammadiyah.or.id). Muhammadiyah Development in Indonesia 1. Vertical Development In terms of vertical development, Muhammadiyah has grown to all corners of the country. However, compared to the development of the NU organization, Muhammadiyah is a little behind. It can be seen that the NU congregation is more than the Muhammadiyah congregation. The main factor can be seen from the point of view of Muhammadiyah's efforts to eradicate ingrained customs among the people, so that the community encounters many challenges. ITQAN, Vol. 11, No.1, Jan-June 2020 153 The History of Growth and Development With a tolerant attitude and sincere devotion and high aggressiveness, the growth and development of Muhammadiyah is faster and neatly organized,

Collins This thesis describes how and to what extent three Islamic student organizations – Muhammadiyah youth groups, Kesatuan Aksi Mahasiswa Muslim Indonesia (KAMMI), and remaja masjid – are developing habits of democracy amongst Indonesia's Muslim youth. It traces Indonesia's history of student activism and the democratic movement of 1998 against the background of youth violence and Islamic radicalism. The paper describes how these organizations have developed democratic habits and values in Muslim youth and the programs that they carry out towards democratic socialization in a nation that still has little understanding of how democratic government works.

Introduction The birth of Muhammadiyah movement in the early 20th century, precisely on 8 Dzulhijjah 1330 H, or on 18th of November 1912, at least, is because of the influence of tajdid movement (reformation, the renewal of Islamic thought) which was sparked by Muhammad Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahab (1703-1792) in the Emirate Arab, Muhammad Abduh (1849-1905), Muhammad Rasyid Ridha (1865-1935) in Egypt, and soon.

  • Tuan Guru and Ahmadiyah in the Redrawing of Post-1998 Sasak-Muslim Boundary Lines in Lombok
    CONTESTED IDENTITIES: TUAN GURU AND AHMADIYAH IN THE REDRAWING OF POST-1998 SASAK-MUSLIM BOUNDARY LINES IN LOMBOK BY SITTI SANI NURHAYATI A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2020 i Abstract This study examines what drives the increasing hostility towards Ahmadiyah in post- Suharto Lombok. Fieldwork was undertaken in three villages – Pemongkong, Pancor and Ketapang – where Ahmadiyah communities lived and experienced violent attacks from 1998 to 2010. The stories from these villages are analysed within the context of a revival of local religious authority and the redefinition of the paradigm of ethno-religious identity. Furthermore, this thesis contends that the redrawing of identity in Lombok generates a new interdependency of different religious authorities, as well as novel political possibilities following the regime change. Finally, the thesis concludes there is a need to understand intercommunal religious violence by reference to specific local realities. Concomitantly, there is a need for greater caution in offering sweeping universal Indonesia-wide explanations that need to be qualified in terms of local contexts. ii iii Acknowledgements Alhamdulillah. I would especially like to express my sincere gratitude and heartfelt appreciation to my primary supervisor, Professor Paul Morris. As my supervisor and mentor, Paul has taught me more than I could ever give him credit for here. My immense gratitude also goes to my secondary supervisors, Drs Geoff Troughton and Eva Nisa, for their thoughtful guidance and endless support, which enabled me, from the initial to the final stages of my doctoral study, to meaningfully engage in the whole thesis writing process.

The theoretical implication from this study is to evaluate and criticize social resilience concept which refers to developmentalistic perspectives such as the use of social capital. In this article, social resilience is closely related to strategy of minorities to establish a tolerant multi religious community. This study argues that social resilience of religious minority groups, i.e. Shia in Sidoarjo and Ahmadiyya in Mataram, is formed by various aspects, such as the government policies on religious life, history of group formation, social relations and network, understanding towards religious values and spirituality, and cultural bonds in the community.

Kondisi ini membawa madrasah dan sekolah Islam sebagai instrumen untuk memperkuat eksistensi dan ideologi masing-masing. Kecenderungan ini bersamaan dengan demokratisasi yang dijalankan sejak reformasi 1998, di mana gerakan keagamaan memperoleh ruang dan momentum.

  • 1 the Role of Muslim Women in Preventing Violent
    THE ROLE OF MUSLIM WOMEN IN PREVENTING VIOLENT EXTREMISM (PVE) IN INDONESIA Alimatul Qibtiyah, Ph.D. [email protected] Abstract Within the discourse of Islamic extremist movement, Muslim women are no longer seen as supporters. There are cases in which women are behind the violent action. Between 1985 and 2010, female bombers committed over 257 suicide attacks (representing about a quarter of the total). In 2017 there are 420 Indonesian returnees from Syria who joined ISIS, 70 percent of them women and children. At least 45 Indonesian women migrant worker has suspected involved at ISIS. Social Media have a big contribution for recruiting the extremist member. The power of social media is to influence netizen by emphasizing feeling instead of thinking which reinforces gender stereotypes that women are more emotional than rational. Although more women have been actively involved in intolerant activities recently, women’s roles as policy shapers, educators, community members and activists in Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) have started to be recognized. Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda from UNSCR 1325 also asserts that women's role in CVE is significant important. There is a strong correlation between gender inequality and the status of women and violent conflict. Promoting gender equality is included in the recommendations in the UN’s Preventing Violent Extremism Plan of Action. Violent extremism is most effectively countered through increased education, better critical thinking and enhanced opportunities for women. There are at least 23 organizations in Indonesia contribute to a national CVE strategy for Indonesia. One of them is 'Aisyiyah, a woman's wing organization of Muhammadiyah, one of two biggest Islamic organizations in Indonesia.

In 1928, there were at least thirty women’s organizations from various religious and regional backgrounds, and working on various issues, succeeded in holding the first Indonesian Women’s Congress. But a century later there were only three organizations that survived, one of them is ‘Aisyiyah. This current paper aims at exploring factors that contribute to the survival of the organization from a perspective of conflict resolution; it investigates what strategies they use to address intra and inter-organizational conflicts, by employing a qualitative analytical approach by way of case study. The data were collected through interviews and documentation. From studying several cases of organizational conflicts encountered by ‘Aisyiyah at different times it is found that the organization constantly encounters intra and interorganizational conflicts. It applies various strategies to deal with them in accordance to the situation and necessity. What is pivotal is ‘Aisyiyah’s willingness to explore possibilities to find win-win solutions, such as silence, inaction, negotiation, mediation to conflict transformation, to find islah ways. However, when foundational values are at stake, ‘Aisyiyah would not be reluctant to contend and use a strategy of threat.

  • Sufism and the Sacred Feminine in Lombok, Indonesia
    religions Article Sufism and the Sacred Feminine in Lombok, Indonesia: Situating Spirit Queen Dewi Anjani and Female Saints in Nahdlatul Wathan Bianca J. Smith Centre for Islamic Culture and Society, University of Mataram, Mataram 83125, Indonesia; [email protected] Abstract: This article is a feminist ethnographic exploration of how ‘indigenous’ notions of a ‘sacred feminine’ shape Sufi praxis on the island of Lombok in the eastern part of Indonesia in Southeast Asia. I demonstrate through long-term immersive anthropological fieldwork how in her indigenous form as Dewi Anjani ‘Spirit Queen of Jinn’ and as ‘Holy Saint of Allah’ who rules Lombok from Mount Rinjani, together with a living female saint and Murshida with whom she shares sacred kinship, these feminine beings shape the kind of Sufi praxis that has formed in the largest local Islamic organization in Lombok, Nahdlatul Wathan, and its Sufi order, Hizib Nahdlatul Wathan. Arguments are situated in a Sufi feminist standpoint, revealing how an active integration of indigeneity into understandings of mystical experience gives meaning to the sacred feminine in aspects of Sufi praxis in both complementary and hierarchical ways without challenging Islamic gender constructs that reproduce patriarchal expressions of Sufism and Islam.
