Islam Nusantara


Before the adoption of Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Islam in general, the indigenous people of the archipelago believed in invisible spiritual power entities which could be in the form of good or bad energy. Ancient indigenous people also believed that deceased ancestors did not really disappear from the world, but rather that ancestral spirits could metamorphose & gain spiritual powers like Gods and remain involved in the worldly affairs of their descendants. That is why worship & reverence to honor ancestors is an important element in the belief system of indigenous ethnic groups in Indonesia, including the Kangean tribe.

Not a few people on Kangean Island today still believe in the teachings of their ancestors. The Kangean community, who are fanatical about the teachings of their ancestors, causes obstacles in Muhammadiyah's preaching. According to various references, it is recorded that Muhammadiyah was founded by KH Ahmad Dahlan on 8 Dzulhijjah 1330 H, which coincides with 18 - 11 - 1912 AD in Yogyakarta.

In 1966, Muhammadiyah Kangean was led by Zainuddin Prawiro Kusumo as is, and at the same time the management at that time was also just a random form. He is an alumni of the MI & Madrasah Tsanawiyah school in Madinatul Munawwarah. After that, the wife of the 4th PCM chairman was Mrs. Nor.

The first HW chairman was Mr. Moh. Considering that the formation of Muhammadiyah at that time was just random, the other administrators were also taken from random people. What was important was that the Arjasa branch of Muhammadiyah had already been formed. In 1967, thanks to a fairly large plot of land from a waqf, a member of Muhammadiyah Kangean was able to build a mosque measuring 13 x 13 m & now it has grown to 22 x 22 m.

The first mosque it was built took ± 2 years considering that there were obstacles in the construction, such as the lack of pure funds from Muhammadiyah residents & also being hampered by other parties who terrorized the builders so that they would not work to build Muhammadiyah's mosque, including water for construction needs so that Don't give it when taking water from the well. There was also land that was donated to establish the first educational institution, located in Pandeman village at that time. The father/parent of the waqf KH Abdul Kadir Muhammad is the younger brother of KH Masmansur, so, naturally, he understands Muhammadiyah.

The reason for donating land to educational institutions was because his previous background was in the world of education and had established Islamic boarding schools in various areas, including Panarukan and Ambon. However, due to various factors & obstacles, especially the construction costs, for 3 years the land was not built and finally it was returned to the owner. But that educational path was what the pioneering figures of Muhammadiyah Kangean did in 1974.

They founded MTs YPPMI which was the first school built & managed by natives. From year to year, Muhammadiyah Kangean grew until in 1976 it founded the MI Darul Arqam educational institution. It didn't waver, the number of students increased and this classical system was then followed by the Attaqwa Islamic boarding school to this day.

Then in 1990 - 2000, Muhammadiyah Kangean established many pre-school educational institutions in certain villages. Like the days that were formed in the 90s. This means that the curriculum used is the KTSP curriculum for general subjects & the 2013 curriculum for religious subjects.

Indonesia is a large country with an area of ​​5,193,250 km2 consisting of many islands, including Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Maluku & many more. Batak is a tribal group that inhabits most of North Sumatra. Batak Toba is one of the Batak ethnic groups originating from this province. Batak Toba does not have to live in the Toba geographical area, even though their origins are Toba. For example, the majority of the indigenous population of Silindung are the Hutabarat, Panggabean, Simorangkir, Hutagalung, Hutapea & Lumbantobing clans. Likewise, the Nasution clan, which mostly lives in the Padangsidimpuan area, is related to the Siahaan clan in Balige, of course these two clans are descended from the same ancestor.

Pesisir's Animism

Image
Islam is thought to have entered through the east coast area, although there are assumptions from the west coast, especially in the Pariaman area, the Arcat and Inderagiri areas on the east coast have also become Minangkabau port areas & the Kampar River and Batang Kuantan have their origins in the Minangkabau inland area. The arrival of the Pesisir Tribe to Barus caused the ousting of Tamil traders who had traded in the city for hundreds of years before. The next wave was a group led by Sultan Ibrahimsyah who came from the South Coast. The Dutch East Indies government employed many of them to fill teaching and government positions. Pesisir / Pasisi means the area on the edge of the ocean. The name Pesisir Tribe for this group was never known until the 20th century. In the 2000 population census, the Pesisir people were classified as a separate ethnicity that was different from the Batak. In its development, the term Pesisir Tribe was used more to emphasize the political interests

Many studies have been carried out on the Minang tribe, both looking at the traditional arts, customs, and folklore that developed in Minangkabau. Like the Nias & Enggano tribes, the Mentawai tribe are supporters of the Proto-Malay culture who settled in the western archipelago. The new concrete road built this year may only be around 3 - 5 km long. It is not uncommon for a household to get fish, it will be processed into bamboo and can be heated for consumption over the next 10 days. They usually get other daily needs through trade relations with outsiders, especially from the city of Padang. Meanwhile, Sipora Island has gardens and rice fields managed by indigenous residents and people from other tribes who have transmigrant status. Furthermore, Pagai Island has more of a wood industry environment & service civilizations that work in the wood industry. Animism/belief in spirits has existed in several regions in Indonesia since time immemorial. Before getting to know Christian
