Abstract

This study examines Muhammadiyah as a manifestation of Progressive Islam (Islam Berkemajuan), emphasizing its role as a reformist Islamic movement in responding to the challenges of modernity, globalization, and socio-cultural change in Indonesia. Founded in 1912 by K.H. Ahmad Dahlan, Muhammadiyah has consistently promoted tajdid (renewal) as both purification of Islamic teachings based on the Qur’an and Sunnah and constructive development through rational, contextual, and future-oriented interpretations of Islam. Using a qualitative descriptive and literature-based approach, this paper analyzes the historical evolution, ideological foundations, and practical expressions of Progressive Islam within Muhammadiyah. The findings indicate that Muhammadiyah’s commitment to education, social services, healthcare, and economic empowerment demonstrates a balanced integration of religious values and modern knowledge. The movement’s emphasis on rationality, moderation, and ethical social engagement has enabled Muhammadiyah to function as an agent of social transformation and national development. Furthermore, the concept of Progressive Islam reflects Muhammadiyah’s adaptive capacity to maintain Islamic authenticity while engaging constructively with contemporary issues, including technological advancement and global interaction. This study concludes that Muhammadiyah represents a distinctive model of Progressive Islam that contributes significantly to the development of a just, prosperous, and dignified society, reinforcing its relevance as a modern Islamic movement in Indonesia and beyond.

Abstract

Worship (ibadah) constitutes the core of Islamic teachings and serves as a comprehensive expression of faith that extends beyond ritual practices. This article aims to explore the role of ibadah in shaping ethical and spiritual life in Islam by emphasizing its holistic nature, which integrates spiritual devotion, moral discipline, and social responsibility. Using a qualitative conceptual approach, this study draws upon classical and contemporary Islamic sources, including Qur’anic verses, Prophetic traditions, and the scholarly works of Ibn Taymiyyah, Al-Ghazali, Fazlur Rahman, and Quraish Shihab. The analysis reveals that ibadah in Islam encompasses both ritual and non-ritual dimensions, encompassing acts of worship performed through the heart, speech, physical actions, and the use of wealth, all of which are guided by sincere intention (niyyah). These practices function not only as means of spiritual connection with God but also as mechanisms for cultivating ethical awareness, self-discipline, social solidarity, and responsible conduct in everyday life. Furthermore, the study highlights the contemporary relevance of ibadah in addressing moral and spiritual challenges associated with modernity, such as materialism, individualism, and the erosion of ethical values. By framing ibadah as a form of worship that transcends ritual boundaries, this article contributes to a deeper understanding of Islamic worship as a foundational element in fostering ethical integrity and spiritual well-being within modern Muslim society
