[The] Nahdlatul-Ulama Party (1952-1955) : an inquiry into the origin of its electoral success.

Note: / In the history of Islam in Indonesia, the Islamic movement of Nahdlatul Ulama may be regarded as a unique one. A bit more than a quarter of a century ago it rose to face “the endangering elements” from reformist-modernist group who introduced and carried on the ideas of Abduh and Al Afghani in Indonesia. The N. U. suspected that this group intended not only to lead Indonesian Islam away from the idea and principles of mazhabite teachings, but also to weaken the traditional position of ulama in the ymmat society. From one angle, the N.U. movement, therefore, was similar to the one of the Azharite ulama which fiercely opposed the new ideas carried out by the two leading figures mentioned above. The pages of the history of Islam in Indonesia since then may be said to have been 'decorated' by conflicts and reconciliations between these two blocs. Actions and reactions from both sides will continue so long a s the two ideological and Weltanschauung generators rotate on different axes.
