Abstract

Persis (Persatuan Islam –Islamic Union) is one of the Islamic organizations in Indonesia that has made a significant contribution to the development of education since it was founded in 1923. This article aims to analyze the role of Persis in building an education system based on Islamic values, starting from the colonial era and the independence to the current modern era. Using a historical and qualitative-descriptive approach, this research examines the educational strategies, challenges and innovations carried out by Persis through madrasas, Islamic boarding schools and formal educational institutions. The findings show that Persis is consistent in fighting for education based on pure Islamic beliefs, both through curriculum formation, teacher training and the development of educational institutions. In the reform and digital era, Persis continues to adapt to technology and global needs to ensure the relevance of Islamic education in producing a generation with noble character and high competence. This research confirms that the role of Persis education does not only cover the Islamic realm but also contributes to Indonesia's national development. Contribution: By promoting character education through various community initiatives, including social media outreach, Persis demonstrates its commitment to fostering a generation that embodies noble values while being equipped for modern societal roles.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the historical development of Islam as a minority religion in Myanmar, focusing on the role of the Muslim community, which has existed since the 9th century through maritime trade routes. The method employed is a literature study by collecting relevant books and academic writings. The research follows four steps: heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The findings reveal that Islam was introduced to Myanmar by Arab, Persian, and Bengali traders who settled in the Arakan coastal region (now Rakhine State). The Muslim community comprises various ethnic groups, including Bamar, Kamein, Panthay, Malay, and Rohingya. The historical relationship between the Arakan Kingdom and the Bengal Sultanate in the 15th century significantly strengthened Islamic influence in the region and shaped the Rohingya identity as a community with deep cultural and historical roots. Although the Muslim population assimilated into local culture, they faced escalating challenges post-Myanmar’s independence in 1948 due to restrictive citizenship laws. The situation deteriorated with acts of violence in 2012 and 2017, leading to a humanitarian crisis as thousands of Rohingya sought refuge in Bangladesh. This research contributes a historical perspective on the social and political dynamics influencing Myanmar’s Muslim minority and highlights the complexities of the Rohingya crisis.
