KH Agus Sunyoto: Pesantren Never Give Up Against the Invaders
Themoderatemuslims.blogspot.co.id - Nahdlatul Ulama Historian KH Ng Agus Sunyoto said that during the colonial era, the resistance of the pesantren to the Dutch never surrendered, even if always defeated. According to him, because the pesantren supported by villagers and farmers who are not trained military.
Thus said Kiai Agus Sunyoto as a speaker at the Culture Silaturrahim event held Lesbumi on the 8th floor, Building PBNU, Central Jakarta, Friday (28/7).
Pesantren finds momentum in building power after Japan comes by providing modern military training. On October 3, 1943, the Japanese formed a voluntary army of 69 battalions of PETA.
"3 battalions in Bali, and 66 battalions in Java. Of the 66 battalions in Java, the entire battalion commander was Muslim. Of 66 battalions, 20 battalions commander kiai haji, "he explained.
He cited the names of the kiai who became battalion commanders. Like KH. Sam'un who became commander of Banten battalion. So also Rais Syuriah Malang regency Kiai Istandar Sulaiman became battalion commander Malang.
"That's where in November 1944 the Japanese made a unit of the Hizbullah army of 500 cadres from pesantren educated at Cibarusah Bogor for 3 months," he said.
Therein, he said, then formed Hizbullah which later became BKR and TKR who dominate two groups from PETA and Hezbollah.
That is why, he continued, when October 5 announced the formation of the people's security forces, on October 10, it was announced that TKR has the power of 10 divisions.
One division has 10 thousand troops, which means to have 100 thousand troops. The 10 divisions are led by people who hold a kiai.
When the conflict arose and the Dutch were willing to return through the UK, a jihad resolution that emerged was a fatwa from NU founder KH Hasyim Asy'ari to defend the Indonesian state of the proclamation. Anyone dare not deny it because the fatwa is out of the founders of NU.
"And the NU people are most afraid of qualification because that is what happens with the Indonesian nation, NU is always behind," he concluded. (Husni Sahal / Fathoni / NU Online)
