Title: | The other Muhammadiyah movement: Singapore 1958-2008 | Authors: | Aljunied, S.M.K. | Issue Date: | Jun-2011 | Citation: | Aljunied, S.M.K. (2011-06). The other Muhammadiyah movement: Singapore 1958-2008. Journal of Southeast Asian Studies 42 (2) : 281-302. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0022463411000051 | Abstract: | This paper provides a critical historical analysis of the Muhammadiyah movement in Singapore. I argue that four processes have been crucial in the emergence and sustenance of the Muhammadiyah within a predominantly non-Muslim society: the symbiotic relationship between the leaders and their followers, the formulation and subsequent reformulation of the ideology of the movement, political opportunities which were judiciously exploited and the availability of a wide array of infrastructures. The Muhammadiyah, as will be shown, provides an informative example of an Islamic movement in Southeast Asia that has transcended the challenges faced by the minority Muslim population by making effective use of the limited resources at its disposal. © 2011 The National University of Singapore. | Source Title: | Journal of Southeast Asian Studies | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/52201 | ISSN: | 00224634 | DOI: | 10.1017/S0022463411000051 |
