Abstract

This research focuses on how Islam compares between the time of the Prophet and today. These differences occur as a result of a shift in the understanding and practice of Islamic teachings along with developments over time. The challenges faced by the Prophet and his previous companions were physical attacks, whereas in contemporary times there is no longer any war or conflict between humans. There is a saying that Western nations advanced because they abandoned their holy book, while Muslims regressed because they also abandoned their holy book (Al-Qur’an). This expression may be true when we see how poor Muslims are in various sectors of life, from education, economics, to the development of science and technology. Meanwhile, Western countries are so advanced and powerful that they dominate the world with all their military, economic, socio-political and cultural power which influences Muslims and other parts of the world. In contemporary times, Muslims are experiencing Ghazwul Fikr, namely a war of ideas or intellectual war. Ghazwul fikr is a transformation of conventional war.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the resistance of the Kaplongan community in Indramayu against the Japanese occupation government in 1944, with particular emphasis on the role of kyai (Islamic religious leaders) as socio-religious leaders. The resistance was not solely triggered by economic factors, particularly the compulsory rice procurement policy imposed by the Japanese authorities, but was also influenced by socio-political and religious factors. This research employs a historical method with a historical-sociological approach through literature review and analysis of various historical sources. The findings reveal that the kyai played a crucial role in fostering collective awareness among the community to oppose Japanese policies, which were perceived as oppressive and contrary to Islamic values. Prominent figures such as K.H. Arsyad, H. Aksan, and Kyai Sidik emerged as central leaders who successfully consolidated peasant resistance against Japanese colonial policies. The Kaplongan resistance demonstrates that religion functioned not only as a source of spiritual guidance but also as a foundation of social and political legitimacy within anti-colonial movements. This event represents a significant form of local resistance, illustrating the close relationship between religious leadership and rural social movements during the Japanese occupation period in Indonesia.
