KAMMI and Its Influence in Indonesia

History began when Indonesia entered a revolution that was just free from colonialism. Where at that time there were many movements created by the community to convey their aspirations. Then came a figure like Mohammad Natsir who had a background in the ideology of Islamism. His struggle paid off, he managed to occupy the post of the prime minister which was the highest post after the president at that time. With his central position as prime minister, he succeeded in spreading the ideology of Islamism he had into the government. But unfortunately, it didn't last long. Several years later that position had to be lost and the Masjumi Party which he had formed had to disappear. Can not be separated from all kinds of slander, fighting, and betrayal. Masyumi was accused of being one of the PRRI / Permesta rebels, mostly carried out in Sumatra and several other places. Even though Natsir and Masjumi's intentions were good. They only wanted to save the government which was in chaos being shaken by the international community by forming a temporary government in Sumatra. None other than this is also the incitement of the Indonesian Communist Party, whose relationship they are currently warm with President Sukarno. 

The da'wah relay was then continued by Haji Muhammad Karim Abdullah who we know as Buya HAMKA. Now the media of his preaching is no longer through politics but through education. Based on the failure of Natsir's politics, they are looking for new ways to continue spreading their word. Those times were quite difficult, considering that the New Order government at that time was quite a dictator. They cannot move widely in conveying the message. One bit, the law and even life will play with them. Hamka's education was classified as successful with the establishment of Al Azhar college as the largest Islamic university in Indonesia at that time. Also in those years, many Indonesians went to the Middle East and other countries to deepen Islam. The New Order relaxed somewhat during the last ten years of Suharto's rule. The government can be said to be more siding with Muslims than in previous years which always suppressed all kinds of Islamic movements. 

1997-1998 was the period of national reform. Where people have flocked to form organizations that had previously been banned for 32 years. Indonesia, which has lost its freedom of opinion, again wants to voice its opinion which has been silent for 32 years. And one of the organizations that raise opinions is KAMMI, the Indonesian Muslim Student Action Unit. Formed by Fahri Hamzah and friends who were also the first leaders of the national student organization. 

KAMMI started as Indonesian students in the Middle East who returned to their homeland. They want to convey the knowledge they get there to the Indonesian people. But unfortunately, they coincided with the new order which did not provide an opportunity to convey aspirations. Finally, they conveyed it secretly in campus mosques targeting students as the end of the youth milestone. They formed a kind of association in a mosque and conveyed the knowledge they got in the Middle East. Then the association turned into a movement and organization associated with the weakening of the New Order government. They were also one of the participants who succeeded in overthrowing the new order from the government. 

After the end of the new order, there was an opportunity for all people to enter into government politics with the formation of many new parties. KAMMI officials also decided to continue the da'wah relay of Mohammad Natsir, which had been suspended for 38 years. By forming a new party called the Justice Party, it continued in the footsteps of the Masyumi Party's preaching. In 2002 the party changed its name to the Prosperous Justice Party due to its defeat in the 1998 elections. Until now, the Prosperous Justice Party has become one of the major parties in Indonesia with its highest position as chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly. 

Education and government are two things that cannot be separated from preaching. With these two things, we can win people's hearts from all sides. Rasulullah did the same thing so that Islam once controlled two-thirds of the world.

If you like it please share it with others. Because your one share will always provide benefits to others and the benefits will never be broken
