This is because a large number of Muhammadiyah members hold the view that Islam is both a state and a religion. The Muhammadiyah organization has seen ups and downs in its relationships with political power since its founding in 1912. It approached the political authority with the attitude of "keep close" and "keep distance" at times, while at other times it made little effort to escape it. It was discovered that Muhammadiyah resources took part in the social movement that was reflected in the Islamic Defense Action by applying the notion of resource mobilization, which is one of the components of social movements.
