Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 3
Abstract
The results of this research show that the efforts and activities of Muhammadiyah can be grouped into four fields, namely: religion, including providing guidance in terms of aqidah (creed), ibadah (worship), akhlaq (morality and ethics) and muamalat (commercial and civil acts or dealings under Islamic law) based on the Holy Quran and Sunnah, establishing mosques and musallas, producing Ulama cadres (fuqaha), reviewing various Islamic studies and the development of Muslims, giving fatwa (Islamic decisions) and providing guidance on religious activities and doing Da'wah (Islamic propagation), education and health, including education that is oriented towards the combination of the general education system and the pesantren education system (Islamic boarding schools), thus changing the society‟s way of thinking from a narrow-minded way to a positive and broad-minded way of thinking towards education, social activities, including philanthropic activities which had been transformed into semi-business non-profit institutions such as hospitals, maternity hospitals, polyclinics, clinics, pharmacies, and orphanages. The Wajonese people previously tended to visit a witchdoctor for various health problems, such as abdominal pain and childbirth. However, they have now realized that health is very important and have changed their way of thinking towards health, political participation, although Muhammadiyah is not a political party, it participates in politics by amar ma'ruf nahi mungkar (commanding the good and forbidding the evil) and providing guidance on ethics, morals and akhlakul karimah (noble characters) to government policies and society.
