Muhammadiyah (
Arabic: محمدية, followers of
Muhammad); also known as the
Muhammadiyah Society (
Indonesian:
Persyarikatan Muhammadiyah) is a major
Islamic non-governmental organization in
Indonesia.
[1] The organization was founded in 1912 by
Ahmad Dahlan in the city of
Yogyakarta as a reformist socioreligious movement, advocating
ijtihad - individual interpretation of
Qur'an and
sunnah, as opposed to
taqlid - the acceptance of the traditional interpretations propounded by the ulama.

Since its establishment, Muhammadiyah has adopted a reformist platform mixing religious and secular education,
[3] primarily as a way to promote the upward mobility of Muslims toward a 'modern' community and to purify Indonesian Islam of local syncretic practices.
[3] It continues to support local culture and promote religious tolerance in Indonesia, while a few of its higher education institutions are attended mostly by non-Muslims, especially in East Nusa Tenggara and Papua provinces.
The group also runs a large chain of charity hospitals,[1] and operated 128 universities as of the late 1990s.[4]
In 2008, Muhammadiyah was considered the second largest Islamic organization in Indonesia with 29 million members.
[2] Although Muhammadiyah leaders and members are often actively involved in shaping the politics in Indonesia, Muhammadiyah is not a political party. It has devoted itself to social and educational activities.
