ASKETISME DAN TANTANGAN MODERNITAS DALAM PEMIKIRAN ULAMA MUHAMMADIYAH

Abstrak

Muhammadiyah, as one of the largest Islamic organizations in Indonesia, plays a significant role in directing the religious views of Muslims in Indonesia. Muhammadiyah scholars teach that asceticism is about self-control, piety, and simplicity of life. The focus is on honesty, hard work, and positive contribution to society. thus Muhammadiyah seeks to combine Islamic values sourced from the Quran and Al-hadith with the demands of modernity. This approach is known as "Islamic modernism," which recognizes the importance of science, technology, and education while still maintaining Islamic values. also adopts a moderate approach that is neither extreme in asceticism nor modernity. Their thinking is to believe in the importance of living simply while still utilizing modern technology and knowledge for the betterment of the ummah. So that despite the modernity of its activities, Muhammadiyah still has a spirit of asceticism and is in line with the true teachings of Islam.
