Warisan Peradaban Islam Dunia dan Manifestasinya Dalam Gerakan Organisasi Islam di Indonesia

Abstract

This article examines the transmission and transformation processes of the legacy of world Islamic civilization into a massive institutional movement in Indonesia. Although the imperial centers of global Islamic civilization in the past have collapsed, its intellectual heritage and social systems have survived and adapted to the challenges of modernity. Employing a library research method based on a historical-sociological approach, this study traces the common thread of the dissemination of these values from the Middle East to the Nusantara (Indonesian archipelago). The results indicate that the legacy of Islamic civilization was not inherited passively but was proactively recontextualized by the Nusantara Ulama Network and institutionalized into modern socio-religious organizations, with Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah as the primary representations. These organizations have successfully manifested the universal values of Islam into three concrete pillars: (1) the development of educational infrastructure that integrates rationality and the preservation of classical literature (turats); (2) the management of philanthropy-based social safety nets; and (3) the strengthening of national insight that supports democracy and the integrity of the Republic of Indonesia. The study concludes that the Islamic organizational movement in Indonesia is a historical synthesis that successfully transformed a state-centered civilizational legacy into an independent, inclusive, and perennially relevant civil society force.
