Muhammadiyah vs. Mammon: The Economic Trials and Tribulations of an Islamic Modernist Mass Organization in Indonesia (1990s–2000s)

Abstract

The emergence of Commercialized Islam is seen as a significant development that illustrates how Muslim societies adapt to modern capitalism. This chapter examines a seldom-studied side of this process through the case of one of Indonesia’s oldest and largest Muslim organizations, Muhammadiyah. In the 2000s, this modernist organization that until then was mainly concerned with education, health and charitable activities, attempted to develop a business sector. The chapter illustrates how the organization faced severe conflict between ethical values stemming from the socio-religious sphere and instrumental rationality implied by business practices. It is argued that these axiological tensions were amplified by the organizational dynamics of Muhammadiyah. This process shows the various ways through which an Islamic moral economy is emerging in the Muslim world.

Islamic Modernism and Architectural Modernism of Muhammadiyah’s Lio Mosque

A F Prajawisastra, T Aryanti Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, Bandung, Indonesia

*alfansyahprajawisastra@gmail.com

Abstract.
The Muhammadiyah’s Lio Mosque is one of the masterpieces of Achmad Noe’man, the great Indonesian mosque architect. The mosque was built as a community mosque at the center of Muhammadiyah’s quarter in Garut, West Java, in conjuction with the construction of the district’s Muhammadiyah branch. Having a shape out of the existing grip, the mosque has neither a dome nor a tajug tumpang tiga (three-tiered pyramidal roof) like other mosques nearby, but instead uses a gable roof and minarets towering. This article aims to analyze the architecture of the Lio Mosque and to learn Achmad Noe’man’s interpretation of modernism, both Islamic modernism and architectural modernism, reflected in the mosque design. Employing a qualitative approach, this study used observation and interviews with the mosque’s stakeholders. This article argues that the ideology of modernism, believed by Achmad Noe’man and the Muhammadiyah organization, was embodied in the Lio Mosque architecture.

Muhammadiyah dan NU: Penjaga Moderatisme Islam di Indonesia

Hayula, Vol. 1, No. 1, 2017

Zakiya Darajat

Abstract

Islam has been expressed through its adherents in many ways. Sometimes the expression has been judged as hard and even arrogant. This is not the case with Islam in Indonesia which has been shown more friendly expression of Islam. However, the radical movements have challenged this peaceful image of Islam in Indonesian. The research which mainly utilized the library sources has concludes that Islam in Indonesia is still considered to be a moderate Islam and in this case, Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama are two organizations which can be seen as the guardians of Islamic moderatism in Indonesia.

Transforming the writing of history: The new narrative of enlightenment within Muhammadiyah

RIMA: Review of Indonesian and Malaysian Affairs
Volume 47 Issue 2 (2013)

Harijanto, Christian; Chalmers, Ian

Abstract: This article seeks to account for a recent change in the method of history writing within the major Indonesian social organisation Muhammadiyah, namely a shift from chronology to historical narrative. Until recently, Muhammadiyah's history had always been written as a chronicle, a form with minimal moral import. But in 2010 Muhammadiyah published an historical account that takes the form of a narrative, a form with a beginning, middle and moral end. This historical account has been constructed around three ideas: the importance of individual enlightenment, that the founder of Muhammadiyah (Ahmad Dahlan) was the prototype of the enlightened individual, and that divine intervention served to monitor this process. Further, this article suggests that the change to a narrative form can be explained by shifts in the political balance within Muhammadiyah as it responds to a changing social context.
