Abstract

Abstract: This article examines the role of Al Washliyah, an Islamic organization founded in Medan during the early 20th century, in the 1955 Indonesian election. This study is library research with an historical approach, drawing data from primary sources such as organizational documents and secondary sources like expert research findings. The significance of this study lies in its novel exploration of a previously unaddressed topic by researchers. This study argues that during the Old Order era, Al Washliyah accepted the concept and implementation of elections with the aim to advocate Islam as the foundation of the state. Consequently, Al Washliyah strongly supported the Masjumi Party and secured a distinctive membership within this Islamic party. Additionally, Al Washliyah engaged in political education, actively conducting training sessions in preparation for the general elections. The organization's endeavors played a pivotal role in contributing to the Masjumi Party's substantial electoral success in North Sumatra. Notably, some of its prominent figures successfully secured positions in the Constituent Assembly and the House of Representatives in Jakarta. Their involvement facilitated national-level discussions on the foundational underpinnings of the state.

Abstract

Mecca and Medina, also known as Haramayn, are the two holy cities of Muslims and serve as the intellectual and spiritual centers of the Islamic world. At the beginning of the 20th century, religious students from the archipelago visited these cities to perform the pilgrimage and continued their studies. While researchers have uncovered the role and network of Indonesian ulama, not all ulama groups have been successfully uncovered. This article examines the role of the Mandailing ulama, particularly those with the surname Nasution, in preserving religious sciences in the Tapanuli Residency in the early 20th century. The ulama discussed in this study include Sheikh ‘Abd al-Qadir al-Mandily (Nasution), Sheikh Muhammad Ja’far Nasution, and Sheikh Musthafa Husein Nasution. This is a literature study with a historical approach. Kuntowijoyo’s historical research model serves as a reference in writing this article, and al-Ghazâlî’s opinion about the classification of knowledge is the main theory used to analyze research topics. This article argues that the Mandailing ulama, particularly those with the surname Nasution, actively preserved religious sciences in the Tapanuli Residency after studying at Masjidilharam in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. They later became the primary agents of teaching religious sciences according to the Sunni Islamic tradition in their respective areas. The results of this study have implications for the strengthening of literature and theory on the role and network of Indonesian ulama.

Abstract

Abstract: This study examines the recent development of Islamic universities in post-conflict Aceh. Government data shows that Indonesia will face a demographic bonus era in the future, where the productive age population will be greater than the non-productive age population. As much as 27.94% of Indonesia's population is Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012. With a pragmatic and realistic character, those aged 12-27 are currently studying at the secondary to tertiary level. In this context, this study examines the professional interests of the Generation Z group in contemporary Aceh. As qualitative research, this study has shown that some Generation Z groups continue to choose Islamic universities as their first choice of university. In public Islamic universities, the main trend of their professional interests is education and economics, with less interest in other fields such as sharia, and ushuluddin and da'wah. Ease of employment has been their most important reason for choosing the disciplines of education and economics. In other cases, a group of Generation Z has kept Islamic disciplines as their professional interest, and their goal in this field is to become religious scholars or teachers. Although considered a pragmatic and realistic generation, many of them still prioritize an idealistic attitude in their academic career.Keywords: generation Z student, Islamic higher education, religious knowledge, professional interests
