which is as many as 19, and the Aulawiyah principle is not found in the Muhammadiyah
khittah.
Applications/Originality/Value: Muhammadiyah is not only a religious organization but
also a public movement. Public and national discourse from its inception into the current era
has always influenced Muhammadiyah's response. Ideological thinking that was born by
Muhammadiyah is also as a response to the condition of community and nationality in
society, such as the Muhammadiyah Khittah document, Articles of Association/By-Laws
(AD/ART), Matan of Beliefs and Life Goals of Muhammadiyah (MKCHM), and other
Muhammadiyah Decisions. Therefore, this writing is necessary in order as a form of
reinforcement to achieve Islam that wasathiyah, moderate Islam that brings peace to the
motherland, Indonesia.
INTRODUCTION
Muhammadiyah is a religious organization of Islamic movement association
which was established on Dzulhijah 8, 1330 H, or coincided with November
18, 1912, in the city of Yogyakarta. The founder and pioneer of the
Muhammadiyah movement were K.H. Ahmad Dahlan. One of the reformist
Islamic scholars whose name is famous throughout the archipelago. One hope
from K.H. Ahmad Dahlan with the establishment of Muhammadiyah is that
the movement of Muhammadiyah is able to take an example from the traces of
the struggle of the Prophet Muhammad (Ittiba ila rasulillah Saw), or in other
words the direction of Muhammadiyah's movement in his struggle, is able to
follow in the footsteps taken by the Prophet Muhammad and his friends, and
people who followed him (Aryanti, 2015; Santoso, et al. 2020).
The textual and essential purpose of Muhammadiyah's founding from the past
until now has been "To maintain and uphold the religion of Islam, thus
creating a truly, fundamental, just, and prosperous society that blessed by
Allah swt" (Nashir & Jinan, 2018). It is a very noble purpose as an attempt to
translate the Islamic missionary movement into a social dimension. Therefore,
Islam is not only in the theological realm but more critical in practical-
operational problems with the spirit of Islam enlightening the universe
(rahmatallil’alamin). Thus, it can raise the degree of human development and
maintain the values of simplicity (: tawadhu) from being trapped in the valley
of pragmatism and materialism (Choiruzzad & Nugroho, 2013).

Moreover, coupled with the current era with various challenges, the
ideological principles that exist in the Muhammadiyah body need to be
strengthened, either is influenced by internal and external factors. Internal
means that comes from within members of the trust, and external means that
comes from outside members of the trust but has direct influence. Moreover,
the strengthening of ideology and its application is emphasized. Therefore, this
writing is present to be able to be a steppingstone to try seeing the form of
rational application of the middle path of Islam (wasathiyah) developed by
Muhammadiyah organizations. Middle Path of Islam is a moderate Islam that
brings peace to the motherland, Indonesia.
METHODOLOGY
This research was a qualitative descriptive study and aimed to describe the
distribution and mapping of values/principles of Islam wasathiyah in the
Muhammadiyah khittah. The data source of this research was the source of in
the form of written documents, in the form of discourse contained in the
Muhammadiyah khittah. The data in this study were in the form of words,
phrases, clauses, sentences, and paragraphs that contain the values/principles
of Islam wasathiyah. The data in this study were obtained by scrutinizing. It is
one of the methods of providing data by observing the use of language
(Mahsun, 2017). The term scrutinizing in this method was not limited to
listening to the use of language verbally, but also the use of written language.
The advanced technique used was the note-taking technique.

The data in this study were analyzed using the equivalent method because the
determinant in the analysis of research data came from outside the language.
Sudaryanto (2015) explained that the equivalent method is a method used in
language analysis in which the determining instrument is outside the language
element and is not part of the language concerned. The analysis technique
above was also in line with content analysis. In order to reach conclusions,
content analysis is needed based on the analysis of existing data (Fraenkel et
al., 2011; Lune & Berg, 2016; Bengtsson, 2016).

Tawassuth (taking the middle way) is understanding and practice that is not
ifrath (exaggeration in religion) and tafrith (reducing religious teachings)
(Hanapi, 2014). Tawassuth in the Muhammadiyah khittah of 1938-1940 is
reflected in the point of deepening the entry of faith, deepening religious
understanding, developing character. It is because Muhammadiyah in
deepening faith and deepening understanding of religion is neither extreme
right nor extreme left. Muhammadiyah's neutral position is in the middle.

holding a section conference and overseeing the road movement, namely the
institution holding coordination between assemblies or institutions as well as
monitoring and evaluating the Muhammadiyah Charitable Enterprises (AUM).
The purpose of this activity is to be able to make changes in accordance with
the times and can create new things in the benefit and progress, especially in
Muhammadiyah Charitable Enterprises (AUM).
Tawassuth (taking the middle way), is understanding and practice that is not
ifrath (exaggeration in religion) and tafrith (reducing religious teachings)
(Hassan, 2014). The principle of tawassuth in the Palembang khittah is
characterized by deepening and thickening monotheism, perfecting worship
with khusyu' and tawadlu,' deepening and thickening tauhid/monotheism,
which is an attitude of declaring the oneness of God and not associating
partners with God and always perfecting worship with khusyu' and tawadlu.'
Worshiping humbly and not boasting is one of the principles of tawassuth.

Tawassuth (taking the middle way) is understanding and practice that is not
ifrath (exaggeration in religion) and tafrith (reducing religious teachings). The
principles of Islamic wasthiyah in the Ponorogo Khittah are marked by the
attitude of life beliefs that originates in the teachings of Islam and the da’wah
of Islam, Amar ma'ruf nahi munkar. Everything that is done in this world
should come from the teachings of Islam because the teachings of Islam are
the teachings of a perfect religion (Ghani et al., 2015). As well as upholding
the Islamic religion and upholding the truth
and avoiding His prohibition, it is a principle of not being extreme right or left.
Ishlah (reform) prioritizes reformative principles to achieve better conditions
that accommodate the changes and progress of the times by grounding in the
public good (mashlahah 'amah) by sticking to the principle of al-muhafazhah
‘ala al-qadimi al-shalih wa al-akhdzu bi al-jadidi al-ashlah (Bakir & Othman,
2017). The ishlah principle of Islamic wasathiyah in the Ponorogo khittah is
characterized by the attitude of the Muhammadiyah struggling to achieve or
realize an ideal. Achieving an ideal requires a struggle (to achieve the desired
state of life towards the good).

to achieve the ideals and beliefs of life. In this case, it is achieving and
realizing the ideals of Islam in accordance with their respective proportions,
and do not change or reduce the teachings that have been determined.
Participating in political organizations or not is a right of everyone, and
Muhammadiyah does not require its members to join political organizations.

The last one in the 1971Ujung Pandang khittah was tathawwur wa ibtikar.
This principle is always open to make changes in accordance with the times
and create new things for the safety and progress of humanity (Othman &
Sulaiman, 2014). It is marked by the Muhammadiyah's decision to engage in
constructive and positive of amar ma'ruf nahi munkar in the Indonesian
Muslim Party (Parmusi) by increasing Muhammadiyah's participation in the
implementation of national development. Muhammadiyah is always open to
the development of Indonesia, and it is one form of Muhammadiyah's struggle
and devotion to the nation and state.

amar ma'ruf nahi munkar in the community, with the primary intention being
to form a family and a prosperous community in accordance with the
proselytizing of the congregation and faithful, devout worship, noble morals,
and set a good example in the midst of society (Dusuki, 2017). In social life,
Muhammadiyah always upholds the akhlakul karimah, which is characterized
by the attitude of always having faith, observing worship, and having good
morals.

member of the association to use their voting rights in political life according
to their conscience.
The use of the right to vote must be a responsibility as citizens who are carried
out rationally and critically (Kamali, 2016). In line with the mission and
interests of the Muhammadiyah, for the benefit of the nation and state, the
Muhammadiyah always cooperates with any party or group based on the
principles of virtue and benefit, away from kemudharatan, and aims to build a
life of the nation and state towards a better, advanced, democratic and
civilized. By providing guidance and community empowerment, it is one of
the same attitudes in realizing a better Indonesia, and Muhammadiyah always
strives to create benefit for its members.
