Founding Nahdatul Ulama (NU)
Biography of KH Hasyim Ashari
In 1924, the discussion group Taswirul Afkar wanted to expand its wings by establishing an organization of greater scope.

Hadratus Shaykh KH. Hasyim Ash'ari, who was asked for his approval, asked for time to perform the Istikharah prayer, asking for guidance from Allah.

Long awaited, the instructions have not yet come. Kyai Hasyim is very nervous. In his heart he wanted to meet with his teacher, KH Kholil bin Abdul Latif, Bangkalan.

While far away in Bangkalan, Kyai Khalil already knew what had happened to Kyai Hasyim. Kyai Kholil then sent one of his students named As'ad Syamsul Arifin (later to be the caretaker of PP Salafiyah Syafiiyah Situbondo), to convey a prayer beads to Kyai Hasyim in Tebuireng.

Pemuda As'ad was also ordered to arrive at Tebuireng to recite verse 23 of Thaha to Kyai Hasyim. When Kyai Hasyim accepted the arrival of As'ad, and heard the verse, his heart immediately trembled. "My desire to form jamiyah is likely to be achieved," he said softly, shedding tears.


Time goes on, but the establishment of the organization has not yet been realized. It seems that Kyai Hasyim is still waiting for stability.

One year later (1925), the As'ad youth returned to meet Hadratus Shaykh. "Kyai, I was sent by Kyai Kholil to deliver this prayer beads," said the young Asad while pointing out the beads that Kyai Kholil put on his neck.

As'ad's hand has never touched the prayer beads, although the journey between Bangkalan to Tebuireng is very far and there are many obstacles. In fact, he was willing to not take a bath during the trip, for fear of his hands touching the prayer beads. He has the principle, "this necklace that puts is a Kyai, so those who can take it off must also be a Kyai".







This is one of the students' devotion to the teacher.

"Kyai Kholil also asked to practice Wirid Ya Jabbar, Ya Qahhar every time," As'dad added.

As'ad's second presence made Kyai Hasyim's heart more solid. Hadratus Shaykh took the hint that his teacher did not mind if he and his friends established the organization / jam'iyah. This is the answer that is expected by the Istikharah prayer.

Unfortunately, before that wish came true, Kyai Kholil had already died. On 16 Rajab 1344 H / 31 January 1926M, the organization was officially established, under the name Nahdhatul Ulama ’, which means the revival of the ulema.

Kyai Hasyim is believed to be the first Akbar Rais. Later, jam'iyah will become the largest member organization in Indonesia, even in Asia.

As is known, at that time (even today) in the Islamic world there was a conflict of understanding, between the reformist ideology launched by Muhammad Abduh from Egypt and the ideology of civilization which accepted the practice of the tarekat.

Muhammad Abduh's ideas of reform, among others, were aimed at refining Islamic teachings from religious influences and practices that did not originate from Islam, reforming Islamic education at the university level, and reviewing and reformulating Islamic doctrine to suit the needs of modern life.

With this Abduh streamlined the idea that Muslims should be free from the schools of thought and abandon all forms of tarekat practices.

Abduh's spirit also influenced Indonesian people, mostly in the Sumatra region brought by students studying in Mecca.


 
While in Java, it was pioneered by KH. Ahmad Dahlan through the Muhammadiyah organization (established in 1912). Kyai Hasyim in principle accepted Muhammad Abduh's idea to revive Islamic teachings, but refused to break away from the attachments of the schools.

Because in his view, Muslims are very difficult to understand the purpose of the Koran or Hadith without studying the books of the scholars of madzhab. This firm thought from Kyai Hasyim won the support of Kyai throughout Java and Madura.

Kyai Hasyim, who at that time was the "mecca" of the Kyais, succeeded in uniting them through the founding of the Nahdlatul Ulama ’. At the time the founding of the nationalist movement organization formed the Islamic Council ‘Ala Indonesia (MIAI), Kyai Hasyim with his son Kyai Wahid Hasyim, was appointed as its leader (period 1937-1942).
