Surkati was a Sudanese Muslirn scholar who, in 1911, came to Indo- nesia as one of the Islamic teachers invited by Jamiat Khair, an Arab organization, which was e stablished in Jaka rta in 1905. The f a ct that the Hadrami Ara bs were divided into two groups, the sayyids who enjoyed elevated position and the non-sayyids, urged Ahmad Surka ti to propaga t e the idea of e qua lity among Mus lims. Thus, in 1913 Surkatr s ponsored the foundation of an Arab organization of Islamic reform called a l-Irsh~d which has been e specially influential by means of its educa tional s ys tem. The i mporta nce of t he Irsh~di rnovement lies in its effecting a social change in the Ara b cornrnunity a nd making a significant contribution to the bi rth and development of Islamic r eforrn in I ndonesia . ABSTRAIT Auteur Bisri Affandi Titre de la thèse Shaykh A~mad al-Surkati: son rôle dans le mouvement al-Irshad à Java au d~but du vingti~me si~cle Departement Etudes Islamiques, Université McGill Diplôme Mai tri se-es-Arts ' . Cette these fait l'objet d'une etude du rôle de Ahmad Surkati de le mouvement al-Irshad à Java, ainsi que ses repercussions dans la communauté arabe d'Indonesie. Surkati, fut un savant Nusulman soudanais qui en 1911 vint en Indonesie en tant que professeur invité par l'organisa­ tion arab, la Jamiat Khair. Cette dernière fut établie à Jakarta en 1905. Le fait que les arabes ~a~rami furent divisés en deux groupes, les sayyids (groupes privilegiés) et les non-sayyids, amena AQmad Surkati à propager la notion d'égalité parmi les musulmans. Ainsi, en 1913 Surkati parréna l'organisation arabe de la réforme Islamique entitulée al-Irshad. Cette dernière eut une grande influence grâce à son systême éducationel. Le mouvement Irshadi fut important à cause de ses effets au niveau social parmi la communauté arabe, ainsi que de sa contribution à la naissance et au dépeloppement des réformes Islamiques en Indonesie.

A. Hukti Ali has written his thesis on the Muhammadiyah movement. 1 Other works on the Muhammadiyah have also been written by Alfian2 and Federspiel. 3 Deliar Noer has written about modern Muslim movements in Indonesia during the reign of the Dutch colonial government (1900-1942),4 and Federspiel has written about Persatuan Islam, an Islamic reform movement founded in 1923 as we11. 5 Islamic reform in Minangkabau (ivest Sumatra) has been studied by Taufiq Abdullah6 and Murni Djamal. These works are almost entirely concerned with the native Indonesian Muslims; very little attention has been given to the Arab movements in Indonesia. This thesis is an attempt therefore to study and examine the nature and the characteristics of Arab Indonesian Nuslims. In this endeavour the writer has confined his work to Shaykh Ahmad Surkati al-An~ari, who was ân important figure ih the Indonesian reformist movement and a prominent leader of the Indonesian Arab community in the early twentieth century. 1 2 The history of Indonesia records that in the nineteenth century the Arab ~agrami populace in Indo- nesia began to increase because of permanent economie difficulties in Hadramaut together with the comme rcial characteristics of the people and the easier methods of transport available from the Middle East. These Arabs are seen to have accelerated the change from 8 heterodoxy to orthodoxy. This may be true in a sense that most of them are lja9ramis, whose relig ious practice was tha t of the Shafi'ites and was, the refore, contrary to the Süfi. dervish practice. But their claim to the title of sayyid, and thus their claim to possess exempla- ry piety and r eligious merit, seemed to blur their role as orthodox Nuslims. Ba 'Alawis encouraged people to practice the so-called tawassul (intercession). In this respect t hey made themselves intercessors between other people and God. This practice was compatible with the Islamic mysticism existing in Indonesia. Furthermore their trading methods and money lending a ctivities made their name unpopular in many villages in Java. However, i n fluenced by the Niddle East Nusli m developments of the late nineteenth century , the Arab community in Indonesia b egan to educate the young Arab gene ration.

  • Sumpah Pemuda Arab, 1934)
    Rabith Jihan Amaruli, Nazala Noor Maulany, Singgih Tri Sulistiyono (Sumpah Pemuda Arab, 1934) SUMPAH PEMUDA ARAB, 1934: PERGULATAN IDENTITAS ORANG ARAB-HADRAMI DI INDONESIA Rabith Jihan Amaruli, Nazala Noor Maulany, Singgih Tri Sulistiyono Departemen Sejarah, Fakultas Ilmu Budaya, Universitas Diponegoro, Semarang-Indonesia Alamat korespondensi: [email protected] Diterima/ Received: 2 Agustus 2018; Disetujui/ Accepted: 31 Agustus 2018 Abstract This article discusses the Sumpah Pemuda Arab (Arab Youth Pledge) in 1934 which became the forerunner of the formation of the first Arab-Hadrami nationalist organization, the Arab Association of Indonesia (PAI) which later became the Arab Party of Indonesia (PAI). This article conducted by using the historical method. Sumpah Pemuda Arab 1934 is the answer to the struggle of Arab-Hadrami identity and nationalism to fulfill its right as part of Indonesian citizen (WNI). This historical study is important in view of the fact that the phenomenon of the Arabism movement which is now emerging through the involvement of symbols and the identity of the oneness tends to place Arab-Hadrami as opposed to the direction and commitment of the nation. Keywords: Arab-Hadrami; Identity; Nationalism. Abstrak Artikel ini membahas mengenai Sumpah Pemuda Arab pada 1934 yang menjadi cikal bakal pembentukan organisasi Arab-Hadrami nasionalis pertama, Persatuan Arab Indonesia (PAI) yang di kemudian hari berubah menjadi Partai Arab Indonesia (PAI). Artikel ini disusun dengan menggunakan metode sejarah. Sumpah Pemuda Arab 1934 adalah jawaban dari pergulatan identitas dan nasionalisme orang Arab-Hadrami untuk menunaikan haknya sebagai bagian dari warga bangsa Indonesia. Kajian historis mengenai hal ini penting mengingat fenomena gerakan Arabisme yang saat ini mengemuka melalui pelibatan simbol-simbol dan identitas kearaban cenderung menempatkan orang Arab-Hadrami seolah berseberangan dengan arah dan komitmen kebangsaan.

  • Islam and Nationalism
    ISLAM AND NATIONALISM (An annotated translation of and commentary on Islam dan Kebangsaan, a religious-political pamphlet published by Al-Lisaan in the Netherlands East Indies in 1941.) Howard M. Federspiel Islam dan Kebangsaan (Islam and Nationalism), published in early 1942, deals with the relationship of Islam to the Indonesian nationalist movement. It was written in an era when Indonesia was a colony of the Netherlands and the major concern among Indonesians was how to win independence, even though open expression of that idea was forbidden. There was little consensus on a nationalist philosophy, but rather a wide range of philosophical, ideological, and mystical statements that competed with one another for attention. Pantja Sila, Sukarno’s encap­ sulation of national ideals which is now the official philosophy of the Indonesian state, was still over four years in the future. The follow­ ing work, like pamphlets of groups representing other views, advocated a specific outlook, hoping that it would convince concerned Indonesians and provide the philosophic substance of a successful movement to gain national independence. The pamphlet has considerable historical value because it explains the viewpoint of one political faction on the eve of Indonesian inde­ pendence and outlines its points of contention with competing groups. It sums up the arguments of one group of Muslims, later known as "radi­ cal" Muslims, who wanted a clear commitment to certain Islamic ideals as the ideology of Indonesians. The arguments of this group had appeared repeatedly and in considerable detail throughout the 1930s in a series of publications- -Pembela Islam, Al-Fatwaa, and Al-Lisaan.' Those views had been an integral part of a wide-ranging dispute between the community favoring Islamic principles and the several groups re­ flecting indigenous value systems, particularly that of non-Muslim Java.

    CONTEMPORARY ISLAMIC THOUGHT IN INDONESIAINDONESIANNNN AND MALAY WORLD Islam Liberal, Islam Hadhari, and Islam Progresif 111 Kamaruzzaman Bustamam-Ahmad IAIN Ar-Raniry, Banda Aceh - Indonesia Abstract : Islam in Indonesian and Malay world is very much heterogenuous. Taking Islam Liberal , Islam Hadhari , and Islam Progresif as the subject of analysis, this article deals with the concepts Islam Liberal , Islam Hadhari , and Islam Progresif as products of the trends in Islamic thinking, the impact of these three interpretations of Islam in Malaysia and Indonesia, the similarities and dissimilarities between the three, and their future prospects in the region. It argues that the prominence of the debates surrounding the three currents of Islamic thought is the result of struggles for power and authority in Islamic discourse in the region. It further argues that the Indonesian-based Islam Liberal differs from the Malaysian-based Islam Hadhari in that it does not originate from government sources. Islam Progresif is more of an umbrella term referring to various strands of thought developed by Muslims opposed to the status quo.
