ABST RACT

There have been many studies on Islamic education in Aceh, especially   among   traditional   institutions.   However,   the   new coming  of usta>dh from Java  has led to  social  dynamics  in  the province. This paper aims to examine the contemporary of Islamic authority in education in Aceh, Indonesia. It will focus with two social concepts and their role in society. It is based from fieldwork in Aceh in several areas. It  is argued that  there  is a change of Islamic authority  in the society in which the usta>dh plays more important   role   in   education   than   teungkue.   Meanwhile,   the teungkus are more interested in political arena.

Keywords: Aceh; Islamic education; Teungku; Usta>dh; Terrorist



INTRODUCTION
This  paper  discusses  the  socio-cultural  context  of  Islamic  education  in
Aceh. It will focus on the changes in religious authority  in the Acehnese community, that is, from the figure of the teungku to the usta>dh. It has been widely argued that authority in Islamic education in Aceh is held by traditional  Islamic religious leaders called teungku.  They play important roles not only in the dayah (Islamic boarding school), or religious schools, in the reproduction of ‘ulama>>, but also as guardians of Acehnese society.
However, in the everyday life of Islam in Aceh, some teungku also play major roles in society and politics rather than just in Islamic education. Usta>dh, on the other hand, means guru (teacher). They play important roles not only in Islamic boarding schools (pondok modern), but also as religious preachers  (juru  dakwah).  Both  teungku  and  usta>dh  are  commonly  used terms in Aceh.
However, in the last two decades, the name usta>dh became more accepted by the Acehnese people. It is said that “the modern dayah was first established in 1983, the Dayah of ‘Ulumul Qur’an Bustanul ‘Ulum,’ in




Langsa, East Aceh.1  The student who is graduated from this pesantren at the  level  of  junior  high  school  or  Madrasah  Tsanawiyyah  (junior  high school) is called santri, while the santri in the dayah we preferred to call our teachers usta>dh, not teungku. Many of them had graduated from pesantren in Java. In contrast,  during the conflict in Aceh (1976-2005) the teungku who  formerly  concerned  themselves  exclusively  with  religious  matters, were  being  used  by  members  of  GAM  (Free  Achenese  Movement), especially  at   the   district   (Panglima  Wilayah)  and  sub-district   levels (Panglima Sagoe).

MAT ERIALS  AND  MET HODS
This paper is basically a fieldwork study conducted in several pesantrens in
different areas in Aceh. Therefore, the data used in this study are that of obtained  from observation  and interviews.  In addition,  to  support  those data, this study also benefit from library studies relevant to the issue under discussion. As for the method, this paper utilizes a socio-anthropological approach. That  is to say that  this paper does not merely portray Islamic educational system in theoretical manner. Rather, it also observes the socio- cultural  background of situation  leading to  changing view of teacher  in Muslim society.  In other  words, this  study  attempts  at  describing social perception of usta>dh, teacher, which changes from one period to another.

RESULT  AND  DISCUSSION
A.  The  Loca l  ‘Ulama> > :  Teungku
In Aceh, ‘ulama>> have played a major role since the coming of Islam until its joining with the Republic of Indonesia at independence.2  During the period of the Islamic kingdom they were employed as special advisors to the Kings and Queens.3 In the era of the wars with the Dutch they were seen as heroes who  employed  the  ideology  of  jiha>d  against  the  Dutch.4    Historically,

rebellion against Indonesian government after independence was run by the
‘ulama>>, especially following the declaration of Darul Isla>m in the 1950s. All
of  these  actions  were  not  centralized  from  the  palace  of  the  Islamic Kingdom, but from the many dayahs in Aceh.5  According to Yusny Saby, “Those ‘ulama>> ” who stand out for their lasting contributions in shaping the religious and cultural values of the Acehnese society are [...] the “‘ulama>” of Pasai; of Aceh Darussalam; of the Prang Sabil (Jihad Struggle); and the reformist “‘ulama>” of PUSA (All Aceh “‘ulama>” Association).6
In Aceh, apart from the term teungku, the ‘ulama> is also referred to by the terms Abu> and Abon. There is a hierarchy in this system. The highest
‘ulama> is called the Abu> (father) and is associated  with that  village, for example, Abu Tanoh Mirah, Abu Awe Geutah, Abu Tanoh Abe, etc. In this
context,  the name is related to the land where they control the religious aspects of society.7     It can be added that  the Acehnese also call Abu the Teungku Chik, who is normally the head of dayah. His job is “deciding the curriculum and methodology to be used in the establishment8  of the dayah. Generally speaking, the education system of the dayah is the same as those Islamic  schools  known  as  pesantren  in  Java, 9   Surau  in  Padang, 10   and Pondok in Malaysia,11  and Ponoh in Southern Thailand.12  Thus, the role of the Teungku Chik is similar to the position of the Kiai in pesantren.13
The role of the Abu Chik or Teungku Chik is not restricted to the
dayah, but  he is also regarded as a spiritual  leader for the  society.  For

example,  he  would  frequently  be  invited  to  government  ceremonies,  or visited by new Military  Commanders (Panglima) to get their blessing as part of the silaturrahmi. Some Abu Chik are also involved in the political arena, especially in the most recent local elections in 2009. They established a party  called PDA (Partai  Daulah Aceh). However, the  position  of the Teungku Chik is more similar to that of the spiritual leader in the Shi‘ite sect.14   During the  conflict,  they  played a role as mediators  between  the Indonesian military and GAM. In addition, in one dayah in Aceh Besar one Abu guaranteed the safety of some GAM members who had surrendered to the government.
Some Abu Chik are also called Shaykh.15 In some dayahs, especially in South Aceh, suluk (spiritual Islamic mysticism) is held during Ramadhan.
If there  is no Shaykh or tarekat  in such dayah some senior santris  will perform a khalwad (retreat), a 45-day meditation near some great ‘ulama>’s tomb16   or in very dark room near the  dayah. There  is another  spiritual retreat in Aceh which is called Salek Buta, a form of spiritual meditation where “there is no teacher” during a “meeting” with Allāh.17  Some believe that this is a part of the teaching of wah}dat al-wuju>d (mystical union) which originally came from Ibn ‘Arabi>.18
The teungku who works under the Abu Chik or Teungku Chik is
known as the Teungku Bale. Academically, this group of teungku has a role that is similar to that of the usta>dh in ‘dayah modern.’ This level is almost same as Senior High School. The santri study from Teungku Bale in the small-hall of the dayah. The Teungku Bale also represents the Abu Chik or Teungku  Chik  in  some  community  ceremonies.  They  act  as  leaders  of prayers in  the  dayah, giving  the  khutbah  (preaching),  and reciting  du‘a (prayer) in some kenduris or slametan.19  Some chosen Teungku Bale marry with  the  daughters  of the  Abu Chik. This  is seen as a signal that  this Teungku will become a leader of the dayah if the Teungku Chik passes away. Or, the Teungku Bale is asked to establish his own dayah or to stay at the dayah for the rest of his life. The networks of the Teungku Bale are a

new generation of leadership in dayah. For example, there is an intellectual network of Dayah Mudi Mesra in Lamno (Aceh Jaya), Dayah Mesjid Raya in Samalanga (Aceh Jeumpa), and Dayah Awe Geutah (Aceh Jeumpa).
Next to the Teungku Bale is the Teungku Rangkang. The rangkang
level is similar to the level of junior high school. The group of Teungku Rangkang  is  selected  from  the  santris  who  act  as  “assistants”  to  the Teungku Bale. They will study Islam from the Teungku Rankang or even the Teungku Chik once a week. In this category, the santri studies the Kitab Kuning (“Yellow Books”) written in the Jawi script. In fact, this group does not have any authority in dayah, except as “assistants” to the Tengku Bale. However, some Teungku Rangkang will achieve the position of Teungku Bale due to their progress and loyalty to the system.
Next is the teungku meunasah. His tasks are not in the dayah, but in the gampong (village). The meunasah is a place where children study Islâm and which is also used as a place for prayers. At this level children are taught how to read and write Arabic, to recite al-Quran, to perform s}ala>t (prayer),  akhla>k  (morals),  Islamic  history,  pillars  of  faith  and  to  sing religious songs every Thursday night.”20  However, the job of the teungku meunasah is not only in teaching Islam, but he also plays a major role as a shaykh for the villagers. It is a must for the teungku meunasah to make himself available for the people’s needs in religious affairs. He acts as a “problem solver” with the head of the village to solve problems in society, for example personal conflicts, religious festivals, wedding parties, and welcoming guests.  The  Teungku  meunasah will work together  with  the geusyik  (chief  of  village).  It  is  argued  that  the  teungku  meunasah  and geusyik are together the guardians of the village. However, the selection of the teungku meunasah is due to the quality of his Islamic knowledge and charisma. The head of the village is chosen through the system of elections.
Villages where there is not a single man who has studied at a dayah will face many internal problems. That is why some elders will agree to let their girls be married to men from a dayah, with the aim that he could stay at the gampong to become a teungku meunasah. This practice can no longer be found in the urban areas in Aceh. In some traditional gampongs, parents prefer to  send their  children to  dayah. One parent  informed me that  he would not hesitate about the career of their children, since he believed that the problem was under the direction of Allāh.
Besides the three teungkus, there are also other teungkus who are well-known outside the dayah. For example, Acehnese who lives outside Aceh may be called Teungku Aceh. This nickname means the person can be a local shaykh. He might be offered to be an ima>m (leader) during prayers, as it is believed that every Acehnese can recite the al-Quran. We have heard


20Abdurrahman, “The Curriculum of Islamic Studies, 67.




the term teungku Aceh used in Java. During the conflict, when some Acehnese moved out of Aceh and became part of a “ganja mafia,” some people referred to them as Teungku Aceh. The name teungku has also been used for members of GAM who had some prominent position in the movement.21   This group of teungku, however, owes their position not to Islamic religious knowledge, but to their ideology. For example, the grandfather of the leader of GAM, Hasan di Tiro, was called Teungku Chik di Tiro where his real name is Mohd. Saman. While the charismatic leader of DI/TII was formally known as Daud Beureueh, the common people referred to him as Abu Beureueh.22 The former head of GAM, Dr. Hasan di Tiro, was called Dr. Teungku Hasan di Tiro, not Abu Di Tiro or Teungku Chik Hasan  di Tiro.  Thus,  some people believe  that  the  name teungku signifies a more traditional title in Aceh, not a religious title. For example, the  former  Panglimas  of  GAM  are  called  teungku,  such  as  Teungku Abdullah Syafi’i (the former Chief Military of GAM) and Teungku Muzakir Manaf.

B.  The  O utsider   U lama> :  Usta >dh
This section refers to some of informal interviews and observations during the fieldwork in Aceh.23 In the field, we were able to conduct an “I witness” study  of the  pesantren  system  run by the  Jama>‘ah Tabli>gh (JT).24   Here, many of the  ustadhs  were from Java, final year santri  at  a pesantren  in Central Java. They were sent by their kiai25 to Aceh to teach Islamic Studies at the pesantren of the JT. Most of these ustadhs were only in their 20s. Originally, the  santris  were from Aceh. However, there  were also some santris from outside Aceh, including from from Makassar.
The ustadhs shared with me their experiences when they arrived in Aceh. At the beginning, many of them were rejected as santris because they were Javanese. After one or two years, some ustadhs went back to Java to continue their studies in order to achieve the title of ‘ulama>. They said that one  of  the  requirements  to  achieve  the  title  was  to  read  the  S{ah}i>h}  al-

Bukha>ri> and S{ah}i>h} Muslim in front of the kiai. However, some of them also married with local women or mastu>ra>t (female karkun). In fact, this network and their education system has developed into a new religious identity  in Aceh.
There is also another image of usta>dh in the pesantren. This usta>dh was an Achenese who had graduated from a pondok in Yala. He could speak Thai. He said that  many Tablighists  who had returned from Yala should stay in the markaz (headquarter) to teach santri how to memorize the al- Quran. This usta>dh married the daughter of the Teungku Imuem (the head of ima>m for daily prayers) of this mosque. He was given a land of paddy- field by his parents-in-law for his daily needs. Beside this, the usta>dh also visited some pesantrens in Banda Aceh to teach students how to memorize the al-Quran.
Another  picture  of Javanese usta>dh  is found in a pesantren  in a
mosque in North Aceh. The usta>dhs there were also very young. They had come to Aceh not through Tablighist connections. Many of them were sent from Java through the ‘Sunnah Connection’ after the Tsunami in Aceh in
2004. What we mean by the ‘Sunnah Connection’ is an Islamic community
in North Aceh who declared themselves not to be affiliated with any Islamic maz}hab (school of thought). This group tends to be the same as the Muhammadiyah  movement.26   Nevertheless,  the  group is  not  part  of the Muhammadiyah network  at  all. The usta>dhs came from Java in 2005 to teach memorizing the al-Quran. The ‘Sunnah Connection’ provided them with hospitality at the mosque. They are paid on a voluntary basis by the group. The group asked their children to study the al-Quran at the mosque. One  of  their  dreams  is  to  send  their  children  to  higher  education  that focuses on memorizing the al-Quran.
Besides  their  duties  as  teachers,  many  of  usta>dhs  also  acted  as
imams for daily prayers. The members of the local community liked them very much due to their voices when they recited the al-Quran during the prayer. After the Tsunami in 2004, the teungku imuem in this mosque was an Acehnese.  But recently, he preferred to transfer his authority as ima>m to usta>dh. In fact, before the Tsunami, there was a circle for Islamic studies in the community which was also given by an Acehnese usta>dh.  They will invite a usta>dh from another village who is likely to be not affiliated with any madzhab. Thus, the usta>dhs are teachers at junior or senior high schools in North Aceh. They may not invite any of Teungku from the dayah. Every Saturday  night,  the  community  holds  religious  studies  after  the  ‘Isha>’

Federspiel, “The Muhammadijah: A Study  of an Orthodox  Islamic  Movement  in  Indonesia,”  Indonesia,  10  (1970);  Alfian,  Muhammadiyah:  The  Political Behaviour of a Muslim Modernist Organization under Dutch Colonialism (Yogyakarta: Gadjah Mada University Press, 1989); Achmad Jainuri, Muhammadiyah: Gerakan Reformasi Islam di Jawa pada Awal Abah Kedua Puluh (Surabaya:  Bina  Ilmu, 1981); Alwi  Shihab,  Membendung Arus:  Respons Gerakan Muhammadiyah terhadap Penetrasi Misi Kristen di Indonesia, trans.

prayer. In this informal religious circle, the Javanese usta>dh  will not give any lessons as they are very young. Indeed, their job is to be teachers for the children and ima>m during prayers.
This group of usta>dhs is coordinated under some local ‘ulama>s who
have graduated from the Middle East. They have regular meetings in one district to evaluate their mission. In this “Sunnah Connection,” the role of the Teungku would not be found. It seems that this system is likely to be the system of caderization that  developed in secular campuses during the Islamic revivalism of the 1970s and 1980s.27  At the top of this network, there  is an usta>dh who acts  as the  ‘Grand Usta>dh. He visits  this  group regularly to  give lectures,  not  only for the  usta>dhs but  also for all the members of the group. The Grand Usta>dh said that he needed to focus on the theological problems (‘aqi>dah) for the santri and the community in order not to be seen as being linked to Jihadist movements. During his visit, he will also evaluate the system of caderization. The Grand Usta>dh has very close connections with some charitable foundations in the Middle East.
However,  a  local  Acehnese-usta>dh  said  that  he  was  concerned whether the Javanese-usta>dh were giving lessons on jihad to the santri. This is because on February 2010 there was a sudden attack of a terrorist group in Aceh, near the mountain of Seulawah.28  One member of the caravan of usta>dh among the ‘Sunnah Connection’ was arrested by the police in this village. He was not an usta>dh,  but very close to the group. Some usta>dh who have taught jihad to students have moved from this village.
There  are  some  possibilities  why  the  local  community  likes  the
caravan usta>dh  from Java. Members of the community are keen to have their children able to memorize the al-Qur’an. Some parents want to send their children to special schools in the Middle East or South Asia. There have been some of them were actually sent to the Middle East or South Asia  to  learn  about  the  al-Qur’an.  The  arrangements  for this  are  made totally  through the connections of the usta>dh,  not the government. Thus, the parents could not understand how their children could make progress in their studies without asking the community of usta>dh. However, we have heard that not every santri was successful with their mission. One santri is in Malaysia as an illegal worker, even though at the beginning he had been sent to South Asia.
Next, the community claimed that they are followers of the Sunnah,
not  madzhab. They welcomed the  caravan of usta>dh  from Java. Besides

their  voices and during the  prayers as imam, their  performance appears Middle Eastern.  Recently,  many members wear beards and dress in the Pakistani  style.  Before their  coming many members used sarung during prayer  time,  whereas  now  they  are  using  the  Pakistani  style  which, according to them, is the sunnah nabi. During the preparation of the dayah the board of the mosque gave them the hospitality  in mosque. Thus, the activity of the mosque is like a real pesantren, even though the usta>dhs are very young. The board asked for the community to donate their funds to support the needs of the usta>dh.
Furthermore, last year a dayah group in North Aceh intended to take
over the administration of the mosque. They came to the mosque during the night prayer. One of them became the imam. After the prayer he wanted to conduct more doa in the dayah way. One Sunnah member stood up and asked to him to stop because they had never done it that way before and they did not regard it as part of the Sunnah. Following this incident the conflict could not be stopped. It took place mainly because the group of dayah wanted to open the debate on theological problems within the community,  whereas  the  sunnah  group  said  that  the  mosque  was  for everyone, but those traditions from the dayah could not be brought to this community.29    Recently,  the  local  people  who  became  involved  in  the mosque are referred to as usta>dh, even though they do not have any Islamic studies background.
Kuntowijoyo in his book explains that many Muslims in Indonesia, especially in the urban areas, are ‘Muslims without a mosque.’ 30 They learn Islâm from the TV, VCD, the radio, and internet,  but are unlikely to do shalât in a mosque. They invite usta>dh to teach their children in their own homes. Indeed, their daily life is controlled by a ‘revolution of the finger’ - meaning they utilize the benefits of ICT in their religious life. By contrast, the situation  of the ‘Sunnah Community’ can be referred to as ‘Muslims with a mosque’, where religious problems are solved in the mosque. This system is similar the daily life of the Tablighists in the markâz.31  However, the system of Community is not similar to system of Darul Arqam in Southeast Asia.32

CONCLUSION
In this section we would like to highlight some important points. First, this study shows that in Aceh there have been two titles of religious identity in Islamic education. The title of teungku is more likely to be the heritage of traditional Islamic education. However, there is hierarchy of teungku which is related to their knowledge and influence in society. The highest position in the  dayah is the  teungku  chik who owns and runs the  system  of the learning process. Next is the teungku bale who works under direction of Teungku Chik. Teungku rankang are the senior santri who act as assistants to the teungku bale.   However, there is also a teungku meunasah in the village with  the  chief of the  gampong, whose job is to  give elementary Islamic teaching to children before their study at dayah or public school.
The title usta>dh is more likely to be an “embedded religious title” in
Islamic education in Aceh. It can be traced from the establishment of the pondok modern in Aceh 1980s. Many usta>dh arrived in Aceh to work not only in Islamic education, but also in da’wah (Islamic missionary work). There has been a conflict between teungku and usta>dh in some sub-districts in Aceh. Some Acehnese say that the coming of usta>dh has challenged the authority and charisma of the teungkus. In the history of the Islamic movement in the Malay world this situation can be seen from the conflict between kaum muda and kaum tua.33
Second, this essay has found that  these titles  are used not only in Islamic education. The title of teungku is utilized by some respected GAM members even though they do not have any background in dayah. A GAM member said this title is not part of the identity of dayah people, but of the entire Aceh people.34 In addition, after the signing of the MOU between the GAM and Indonesian government, some dayah people have also become involved in the political arena by establishing a political party. They also have mobilized dayah people to ensure the implementation of Islamic law in Aceh.35  Thus, it can be argued that the teungku still play an important role in Aceh society.

Musabaqah Tilawatil Quran Tingkat Nasional ke-12, 1981).

Aceh,” Journal of Indonesian Islam, 1: 1 (2007); Kamaruzzaman Bustamam-Ahmad, Islamic Law in Southeast
Asia: A Study of Its Application in Aceh and Kelantan (Chiang Mai: Silkworm, 2009).




As for the usta>dh group there is a tendency that their arrival in Aceh is not only for the purposes of Islamic teaching but is also part of expanding the  terrorist  network  in Indonesia. In this  study  we have examined one group of Islamic society in Aceh, where some Javanese-usta>dhs contribute to religious life. It is also likely to have connections to terrorist networks in Indonesia. Some  of  it  networks  do  have  another  mission  in  Aceh   to conduct jihad to establish an Islamic caliphate. In this context, Javanese- usta>dhs have a very well-organized system  in Aceh. They  are not  only teachers, but are also part of an Islamic hardline movement in Indonesia.36
Third, there is a serious problem in Acehnese society in terms of the
sustainability of the Islamic traditional system of education. This is because many parents are eager to send their children to pondok modern, rather than to dayah. Then, they may continue their studies to university level, not only in Aceh, but also in the Middle East. In this situation the role of the dayah has decreased in terms of the development of Islamic studies in Aceh. There needs to be more studies to focus on the impact of the pondok modern in Acehnese society. This study has only focused on the role of teacher, not the influence of the institution in the society.
