Abstract

Nahdlatul Ulama (hereinafter referred to as NU) is the largest Indonesian religious organization founded on 16 Rajab 1344 H (31 January 1926 AD) in Surabaya by some prominent Muslim clerics, most of whom were leaders of pesantren or Islamic boarding schools. The purpose of the organization's establishment was to apply the teachings of AhlussunnahwalJama'ah or Aswajabased Islam. In the matters of aqidah, NU followed Imam Abu al-Hasan al-Asyari (260 H/ 873 M - 324 H/ 935 AD) and Abu Mansur al-Samarqandi al-Maturidi (d. 333 H/ 944 AD); in fiqh, it followed one of the four schools (Hanafi, Maliki, Syafi'i, and Hambali) both in qauli and in manhaji; and in Sufism, it followed Imam al-Junaid al-Baghdadi (d. 297 H) and Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (450-505 H/ 1058-1111 AD). NU is an integral part of the Sunni discourse, and if we look further, the founding fathers of NU had very close ties with the Haramain (MeccaMedina) scholars under the rule of the Ottoman Turks who at that time took the Sunni or Aswaja-based Islam
