MISSONARY INFLUENCE ON ISLAMIC EDUCATION EXISTENCE IN ANDONG VILLAGE, BUTUH, PURWOREJO Aziz Al-Bari Kamaludin Fak. Tarbiyah dan Keguruan UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta Abstract: The objectives of this research are to obtain knowledge about the mission of Christians in Andong Village and the effects of Christian missionary for Islamic education in Andong village, Butuh, Purworejo. This research shows: (1) Christianization in the village of Andong still has small percentage, but until now Christians is still as a basis to run their holy books. (2) Some Muslims In Andong Village have some thinking that was already started mixed with the thinking of Christians, this is because there are several missions that search for the target of age of the mindset of the Muslims, the guidelines leave the religion of Islam but Christian paradigm. (3) Participation and awareness of religious community are very inisiastic and support the creation of religious harmony. This is reflected in existing community activities, or activities that are programmed by the goverment or by religious figures. Key words: Christian, Missionary, Andong Village, Islamic, Education A. Background of Study Islam is a guide which comes from Allah SWT to all mankind on this earth. It also becomes a foundation for every human being to run this life with great togetherness, tranquility, harmony etc. Indonesia is a country that has enough diversity of style, whether in religion, culture, ethnicity, customs or language. From this diversity sometimes there are still many people who consider it part of a distinction to be debated to the division of every part. The outbreak of the independence of Indonesia is inseparable from the struggle of Indonesian people, not least the Indonesian people who are Christian join fight for this country from the hands of colonizer, do not be surprised when Indonesia has been an independent nation of Christians come to formulate the basis of Indonesia Republic, with the aim of Christians to focus on principles that 1 will guide the life of the Indonesian State The new order for religious freedom and equal rights and opportunities for all citizens is guaranteed, regardless of belief.1 To find the method and the appropriate way to people who are not Christian, so it should be cultivated the Christians should be known by the Christians, and later in sign of God's mission in realizing the peace, justice, and integrity of the Indonesian nation. A task that calls to prevent anything that demeans human being dignity and prestige of Indonesia.2 Church of more positive attitude and optimistic about religion is not Christian, because Christian Church realized that God is at work in religion that religion and salvation will summarize the whole man.3 In the framework of God's salvation, human beings are no longer savedon an individual basis but rather in it relationship with other people. Definitely a lot of people who do not know God's plan explicitly, but it did not make God's plan fail, because God also save people outside the historical forms of Christian religion, although they are far from God, but God was not far from them.4 Change rapidly in the world and thinking more deeply about the of the Church as the universal sacrament of salvation (Lumen Gentuim) has encouraged this attitude toward religions are not only Christian. This new attitude is called dialogue. To find the method and the appropriate way to open dialogue with people who are not Christian, so it should be cultivated the people who are not Christians should be known by the Christians, and later in appreciate the teachings and the Christian life.5 As mentioned in (Dignitas Human 14) about the ambition to progress is and respect the true freedom of other and reject any form of coercion, more in the field of religion. Church calls on the son - his son to is always stay against the 1 T.B.

Vision depth in this field is not few and not easy. One must learn about the others for the sake of the other themselves. Hans Georg Gadamer, writes : "is there something else that no other than yourself ? However none of theothers who also is a human be a separate from ourselves".7 Much when associated with someone who has an active concern inresponse to religious pluralism as an integral part of life as a theology. We can mention one of them is Hans Kung, a Swiss, born on 1928. Hans Kung is known as most serious Catholic. Many have responded to these thinkers as a reformer who figure most responsible for efforts to reform the Church of thinking is totally and completely. Hans Kung The seriousness of this can be seen from some of his works that tries to reconstruction of church view in moral ethics that the world needs. The Church recognizes that the State is a tool in the hands of God that aims for human welfare and preserves God's creation. Therefore, the church and the state must help each other in seeking justice and welfare. Church and State have a nickname task that must be implemented with full responsibility for the good of allpeople, even whole His creation. The Church has a duty to protect and safeguard all people for freedom in carrying out the functions and the nickname of each.8 The politics of the nation's history ever offered no other alternative, that is Islam, to be the basis and ideology of the State. Its all fail never had the support of the entire nation so if you still want to maintain this state of Indonesia as a unitary state based on Pancasila. Then the other cannot accept outright that there is diversity as well as belief and respect the presence of other groups with the same rights and obligations in Pancasila.9 6 Y.W.M.

People with it have found that religiousovercome what they graduated. Such people may be diligent in place of worship but are not willing to talk about their faith and let them gain practical benefits. And 2) the intrinsic diversity, namely that religion is lived. Allport saw the Religiosity Extrinsic-Intrinsic not as a notion that stands alone and separated from each other, but it is a continuation, in other words that people cannot be inserted into one kind of religion for granted and always will be.10 Islam is a religion that the teachings revealed through revelation by God Almighty to Prophet Muhammad SAW. The teachings of Islam member clue how human beings ought to do and devote himself to God, so as to create a vertical relationship through His commandments and prohibition. Meanwhile, from the social perspective, the teachings of Islam give some guidance how should social human beings interact with each other, to enable the creation of a horizontal relationship.11 his people. As it has been described by Mukti Ali, that Islamic teaching are not only limited to the life after death but the attention of Muslims should also be focused on life in today's world. So those are creating balance and harmony in human life between life in the world and life in the hereafter.12 Christian teachings from the word of God and His saying of Jesus have been codified in the Book, can be divided into two major concepts, namely: The concept related to the divine and human-related concept.13 The concept was a source of discussion of formulation and discussion of various problems such as the Godhead, the church law, good karma or ethics for the church, all of which are embodied in religious experience.14 10 Bambang Ruseno Utomo, Hidup bersama di Bumi Pancasila, Sebuah Tinjauan Tentang Islam dan Kristen di Indonesia, p. 154. 11 M.

People who fear God and do right, that person accepted by God, no matter what nation he was from. With this kind of thinking Peter to say "Respect All People, as well as providing advice to Titus Paul "Put the words of Wisdom".15 Islam and Christianity is one religion that both have faith that God exists and God who has created this Universe. But these two religions cannot be used in a single ideology Because Exclusivism has its own, namely Religious Exclusivism (The Literalitas Meaning). 1. New Testament (Acts 4:12): There is no salvation outside Christ 2. Catholic Dogma: There is no salvation outside the church 3. Q.S. Ali Imran: 19: (Verily in Allah's religion is Islam) From the above exclusivism religion between Christian / Catholic with Muslim author can take a conclusion that every religious believer would justify their own religion. Here is what makes between them to continuos his religion and invite other people of different religions to get into religion (the Christian missionary ) and (Amar ma ruf nahi mun 'kar in Islam). Human think that Intellect is one of the privileges bestowed by God to them. Reasonable explanation is given, demanded by Him. Human are not rational crazy or it is not required for prayer, fasting, and so forth. Intellect is one of the guidance of Allah when a man concerned to undestand human feeling and appreciation. Therefore God also has given instructions to all people to go to the right path, the path which will make the tickets for us to get His Mercy. According to Benjamin Robinson said that in the sense of Mission to note three things: Worship, which is the starting point of the Mission, Discipleship, and reinforced with Mission (mission of). New Mission contains the power when out of the worship and the right and real Discipleship.16 15 16 Lembaga Alkitab Indonesia, Alkitab. Jakarta, 2001, Titus (2:8), p. 348. www. Missionary meaning, com 5 Below are various verses that underlie the Christian people to always exist in Christ, where they assume that their purpose in life is Christ and because Christ is their life in this world. God created man in His image and likeness of God so that their dominion over the creatures of the earth ,17 So we created for the express authority of God and become God's representative on earth. The Bible also says that we are the vessel.18 So there are two things: 1. image and likeness 2.Vessel. Examples for this are the gloves. Gloves are made in the image and likeness of the hand, and gloves is a container / vessel to be filled hands. Because we also are the vessels made in the image and likeness of God, then we also have the function to be filled by God says that. Apostasy and Christianization really happen very widespread in Indonesia because the world has become a mission church. Even in Indonesia concept map of Christianizing the world has entered the next target after the Philippines, and within that concept maps have the same position of Indonesia and the Philippines, where the majority populations are Catholic. The question is, why the Christians wanted to convert our Muslims? It is often not known by us. We Muslims often assume that others like us, we too often measure others by ourselves, if we like to eat steak then we think other people also likeHie right scripture. In Islam there are signs about the mission, among other sign is "La ikraha fx al-din"-there is no compulsion in religion of Islam. We think that other religions also have signs like this. And between religious communities, the verses of God that set is "Lakum diinukum wa liya din” and we think that they also have about the concept of religious tolerance in the same with them. In fact, according to Irene Handono a former who had converted to Islam who previously engaged the field of comparative religion and believe in Christology convince us all that the verses are just there in the Qur'an and not in other holy books.19 Which is in the Bible it said was "Find lost sheep, proclaim the gospel throughout the world and teach all over the world as my disciple”. And this verse same as paragraph order, ruling obligate. And what does this mean 17 Lembaga Alkitab Indonesia, Alkitab, (Old Testament, Genesis 1: 26- 27), p. 2. Lembaga Alkitab Indonesia, Alkitab (New Testament, Roma 9: 23), p. 256. Video seminarnya Dr. Irene handono tentang Strategi Kristen Memurtadkan Umat Islam. 18 19 6 paragraph command and this is obligatory? For example, as we Muslims by God given orders to enforce prayer five times, then if there are Muslims all these years he does not pray and then he dies then he will go into hell. Similarly Christian person, if he isunable to produce a lifetime lost sheep die then if he would go into hell. And that iswhy Christianity is happeningChristianization. And that is why God reminds us in surah Al-Baqarah verse 1: 20, Meaning: “It will not stop those Jews and Nazarenes (Christians) to influence you (moslems) you get into their religion”. Verses explain that Christians will never stop struggling convert Muslims with a variety of ways. In Indonesia if the people they go in a community where Muslims need social assistance, then they will share food, secondhand clothes, medicine, scholarship and others. But if they go in a community that people of Islam do not need social assistance, they will say so be it Islamic identity remains an important paradigm in change, just be a Jew or a Christian thought or at least the secular paradigm. The author takes the research in Andong Village, Butuh District, Purworejo Regency, because there are a few evangelists who have managed to convert a few Muslims in this village. Based on author interviews that havefrom Islam to Christianity. Author : Good morning mam, sorry to bother your time Mrs. P : Good morning, Oh no son, it's okay Author : Mother, every day always just keep the shops like this? And I'm sure the income must also pretty good huuh?20 Based on interviews by the author that the Mrs. P has been getting help from a priest who became his acquaintances at the time, where with the introduction Mrs.P that initially there is no desire to move to the Catholic religion then the Mrs. P sympathy and eventually converted. This is indeed we should try as much as possible not to get proselytizing on the pretext of economic, educational or religious doctrine planting, basically one religion is the belief that it comes from the heart without any coercion or denial of religious belief alone. 20 Interviewed with Mrs. P (23 of Sept 2010) 7 Therefore, with what is experienced by Mrs.P makes a bridge for the delivery of mission nets and poor shelter from the clergy or religious leaders there. The writer can only give an information in the form of the minutes without showing directly what is happening in the field, therefore the author hopes the next it will not happen again like this, where spread of religion may be done by anyone but still have to put forward the name of solidarity such thing as truth claims, blaming the other party or any other vigilante actions, wherever there is no religion that teaches doctrine to hate or kill each other, but with the difference that there should be a unifying and awareness of the richness of diverse cultures and ethnic culture. The other party or any other vigilante that teaches doctrine to hate or kill each there should be a unifying and awareness of ethnic culture. Andong Village is one of the villages in the sub district of Butuh, Purworejo Regency is predominantly Civil Servants and Farmers. Most fundamental questions that may arise in the minds of the readers is, why the research is taking its location in the village of Andong, Butuh, Purworejo? Here the author will explain that the village of Andong is the village where the majority population are Islamic. Moreover within the last 5 years or less of the population of this village converted to Christianity and Catholicism. Although it is not very high rate of increasing, this is interesting for the author to conduct further research in order to obtain valid data, and reliable. Researchers eventually also get the statistics existing that the percentage increase in the population who converted to Christianity and catholic reach 4% per year.21 21 Interview with the Headman, 22 march 2011 8 B. Paradigm of Research Every Religion 9 Education is the process of hanging attitudes and good behavior or group people in a mature business people through teaching and training efforts, the process works, how to teach. From the statement above, education is defined as efforts made to achieve the goal through the training process and how to educate. This is where the purpose of Christianizing do, namely trying to make us as Christians and believe in God through Jesus himself, with education they will declare their mission. C. The Effects of Christian Missionary for Islamic Education in Andong Village, Butuh, Purworejo Prespective mutual respect between each other, so that all the activities that they do can be run safely, orderly and no interference. In every religion must have followers or people, to support and adds to deepen of the faith community, he built a means of worship such as imosques in the Islamic religion. In it there are three means of worship with specifically for meeting fellow group. As for the Church which they usually use for Christian worshiping in it is most of them participate in the Church of Java in Kutoarjo. Among four religions existing, there are two religions which have activity in society, be it a religious or social nature. 22 Form the activities carried out by Muslims in the village of Andong, among others by holding prayers followed by religious speech. Activities undertaken outside the mosque, among other youth associations to form adolescents called mosque, founded the organization Muhammadiyah. Then from the association of mothers who called the association Aisyiah who held a variety of activities including lectures regularly in every congregation. Regarding the state of the Catholic religion in this village according to statistical data the congregation, that congregation or Catholics in the it every year have additions, these additions came from immigrants, the Catholic family itself 22 Interview with Mr. M. Abdul Syukur as the head of Public Affairs, 24 mei 2011 10 or from some people that go besides catholic because of Ciiristianization or evangelism itself is still rife. The way to spread the faith of the church or the community generally by trying to establish a means of worship or convention center near the village of Andong itself. In addition it also paid a visit to the rayon surroundings, such visits are expected by Christians feel cared for by the church, Thus, it provides assistance to the church, whether it is or material. Dialogue of life is a dialogue directly in contact with the factual & reality of human life or is the dialogue of the most fundamental level (not the II lowest). The dialogue is usually, in response to various problems in life, Such as social, cultural, political, economic and other issue. Dialogue of life is the concrete manifestation of one's faith or to a I group at once realized. And it is done by all the people of Andong Village.23 The dialoge is not just a matter of inner, spiritual, but also the problem of birth, physical and physical materials. Because of that appreciation or her life is not only about the spiritual, but also areas of the body, covering the areas of personal, relationship with others in the broad sense of community, nationality, and even the world and the universe.24 How does it impact or religious appreciation in real life, very dependent on people's views about the content and embracing his religion, the translation of it in the form of institutional religion, looks through the beginning and all religious activity is good and true but the essence and content of religion and its adherents understand how and live it in real life.adherents creates style and appreciation of life itself. It is very often that religious people have not or cannot not distinguish between the teachings of transcendental religion (sacred), as a result of understanding religion and religion in the institutional sense. These three things would need to be distinguished for religious life in no overlap between what is sacred doctrine (transcendent) and which is the product of an understanding of social and cultural nature.25 In this case, Robert W. Crapps suggests there are three common forms or patterns of how people live up to his 23 Interview with Matheus Sumarno, a Pastor Kutoaijo Church, 13 april 2011 ibid IIbid 24 25 11 religion, where each form has a number of streams that vary in intensity. All three styles are: a. Religious authority is a religious lifestyle that pivot around the characters, events, events, places, and time as well as specific forms are considered to show the presence of God or his saying that saving the world. b. Religion which is a religious lifestyle that pivot around the historical process that demands a response and engagement with the forms of living well. c. Religion spontaneity is a religious lifestyle that does not pivot on the form or history, but around the belief that God directly to work the heart and soul of man.26 Existed between the factions of racial or ethnic variety is increasing. Because it can be interpreted that in this modern age there is almost no longer a nation that was born from one ethnicity only. Similarly, the Indonesian nation is in reality a pluralistic society. Church in Indonesia, sooner or later, will commemorate the birth of the churches in which members of the Church is a mix of various ethnic groups living together.27 In the same era, the church in Indonesia are now placed in a container of State and Nation that is being built. In the fourth five-year development plan stated that "Assimilation of the nation's efforts should be improved in all areas of economic and social and cultural rights, in order to attempt to strengthen national unity and strengthen national resilience".28 Here the Church is called to respond to these national goals, while increasing the national awareness that the church in Indonesia is a form of Bhineka Tunggal Ika nation.29 As an alternative, then this idea will be judged Indonesia. Indonesia Nation Assimilation segments of society is an important issue that must be considered and solved jointly by all the citizens of Indonesia. It 26 Roberts W.

According to H. Bash that assimilation can not be simply equated as psychological adjustment, cultural adjustment and social structural integration.32 In the previous section the author has discussed that Islam acknowledges morality of religious communities and respond to inclusivity viewing and view of religions. As a consequence of this view, then the followers of Islam its relations with other religions on the principle of peaceful consistant D. CONCLUSION Islam is very supportive enatage the good and fair relations among religions, because of the srenoor plurality is the nature of God that must be upheld to achieve on earth. With among all religious communities, there is one sign that we may preserve the plurality of religion. It is what the state of Muslims in the village of Andong. Although there is the launch of the missions of Christians, but they do not introverted they always interact with them. Because it is the authorities of this legal promoting the teachings of Islam in Al-Qur and Al-Hadith as. 'be way the bright, surrounding God's will, you will make one: Pie', but clearly God does not want it but He will test people, whether they Peacefully, albeit with differences in religion and faith. We are all in harmony with each other-race. BIBLIOGRAFI 688. 31 Babari, " Hambatan- Hambatan dalam Proses Pembauran Bangsa September 2004, p. 32 Look Hary H.
