Description
Summary:The aim of this study is to examine ibn Taymiyyah's theological influence on Indonesian Muslim Revivalists, specifically the three revivalists who were leaders of revival movements in Indonesia in the early twentieth century, namely Ahmad Dahlan, Aḥmad Surkatti and Ahmad Hassan. Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728/1327) was one of the Muslim scholars who reformed Islamic religious thought in the early thirteenth century. Ibn Taymiyyah's thought on theology, specifically 'aqīdah has considerably influenced Muslim scholarship not only in his own time but the present as well. The three Indonesian Muslim revivalists were well known figures in the early twentieth century who called Muslims to purify their 'aqidah based on the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah through their reformist organizations. In that period, the 'aqidah of some Indonesian Muslims deviated from Islamic teachings. Thus, it is very essential to investigate the influence of Ibn Taymiyyah's theology specifically, his 'aqidah on the three Indonesian Muslim revivalists in dealing with the circumstances of Muslims' 'aqidah in their period, and their way in disseminating their comprehension of 'aqidah based on the teachings of the al-salaf al-ṣaliḥ. In this research, the approach that has been implemented is textual analysis, using descriptive and analytical methods referring to numerous works on the subject as well as the deductive method to obtain conclusions for this study. This study pursues to ascertain Ibn Taymiyyah's theological influence on these three Indonesian Muslim revivalists. It concludes that their understanding and teachings of 'aqidah are clearly influenced by Ibn Taymiyyah's thought.
