Abstract

West Sumatra, the land of the Minangkabau people, is one of the fertile breeding grounds for the Indonesian Islamic State (NII) terrorist network. This study aims to describe and analyze in depth the history of the Indonesian Islamic State's religious deviation in West Sumatra. This study uses a qualitative, direct research approach within a social-historical framework. The FGD informants are former NII members and local government officials. The results of the study show that, according to former NII members in West Sumatra, Kartosuwiryo was the main figure in spreading the NII, which was founded to replace the Republic of Indonesia with an Islamic state. This organization was divided into two factions: Abi Tahmid and Abu Toto. The main figures in the spread of NII in West Sumatra were Datuak, I_s, and W_n. Before the raid, NII in West Sumatra had around 1,125 followers, many of whom were trapped in deviant teachings due to their search for religious understanding, dissatisfaction with the government, and a lack of deep religious understanding.
