BIOGRAFI K.H. DJAMALUDDIN AMIN DAN PEMIKIRANNYA

Abstract

The study aims to reveal how the biography of KH Djamaluddin Amien's
character tells about his life. Biography can be seen that he does not want to be
cultivated as a kyai and generator of educational social movements, including
through schools built from TK / TPQ Raudhatul Athfal, Elementary Schools,
Madrasah Tsanawiyah and Madrasah Aliyah, and the mosque in the land of
Karaeng Bissoloro, Gowa Regency. His biography can also be seen from his
thoughts and works in the world of education, activities as the leader of the
Muhammadiyah of South Sulawesi Region, as Chancellor of the Muhammadiyah
University of Makassar, and as Chair of the National Mandate Party even
though he does not want to be a member of the DPR. The mandate is held at the
same time. This study uses a qualitative research approach, supplemented by
literature studies and interviews. The results showed that the personality of KH
Djamaluddin Amien as a cleric and Muhammadiyah figure in South Sulawesi
had its own characteristics. The thought in the field of religious education is the
renewal of the curriculum and teaching methods by combining the teaching
model of K.H. Ahmad Dahlan with K.H.Hasyim Asy'ari, and character
education models through religious extracurricular activities that combine
elements of religious science and general sciences with classical systems. The
concept of multicultural education that was built by him was open to change,
prioritizing discussion and dialogue. In Religious Education, he taught the kitab
kuning which was held every night Wednesday and Friday. The method applied
is the Sorogan and Bandongan methods
