| Summary: | Haji Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah was a prolific scholar who wrote more than one hundred books on various themes through various media. The existing literature has significantly covered various aspects of Hamka’s ideas. Though Hamka was learned in various spheres of knowledge, one of his favourite subjects was history. However, Hamka’s discourse on history is found wanting. Thus, this paper discusses Hamka’s contributions to history with special reference to
Sejarah Umat Islam and Antara Fakta dan Khayal Tuanku Rao.
Hamka’s most profound work on history is Sejarah Umat Islam. Hamka who had sharp eyes and a high degree of historical mindset was very critical of the so-called history books but departed from the true nature of historical inquiry. |
