| Summary: | This article focuses on aspects of moderation, humanism, and non-sectarianism in
Ahmad Dahlan’s thoughts and movements (1869–1923 AD) in Islamic education. The
method of this article is qualitative with a textual approach and is the result of library
research sourced from literature written by Dahlan’s students and scholars of Islamic
studies, both classical and contemporary. Based on a moderate understanding extracted
from the Quran, hadith, and some scholars’ understanding, Dahlan is more suitable to
be categorised as a moderate-humanist or middle Salafism figure rather than being
categorised as a puritan-fundamentalist or right-wing Salafism figure as misunderstood
by some, because of his thoughts and movements in the Islamic education, religious,
social, economic, and political fields are more moderate, nonviolent, open, and visionary
humanists than contemporary reformers in the country, so that their thoughts and
movements inspire philanthropic actions in the Islamic education, social, economic, and
politic fields that are far from radicalism and terrorism, and contrary to the modernist
group’s thoughts and movements that exist today, especially with puritan
fundamentalist groups. |
