Narasi Pendidikan Islam Hamka dalam Menghalau Pengaruh Komunisme di Awal Demokrasi Terpimpin

Abstract

Education is important for the advancement of a nation civilization. In the era of guided democracy (early half 1960s), popular reading media such as magazines became an attractive literacy alternative for the wider community, especially in urban areas, to enrich insights, increase knowledge, and strengthen religious values. The charismatic figure like Prof. Dr. Haji Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah, more commonly known as Hamka, is one of the figures who played this role. Pandji Masjarakat was used as a means of education and strengthening Islamic religious (moral) values in order to dispel communism's dominance, which was growing stronger and expanding its influence in Indonesia at the time. This research method uses historical research methodology. This study aims to explore and analyze the narrative of Hamka's Islamic education in dispelling the influence of communism at the beginning of guided democracy (1959-1960). The results of the study show that Pandji Masjarakat magazine played an important role as an educational medium that contained Islamic values and knowledge for the community in the early days of guided democracy (1959-1960), which was heavily influenced by communism. This is evidenced by the magazine's columns and content, which were based on Islam in a diverse and interesting manner, especially in terms of monotheism.
