Abstract

This study aims to discuss the struggle of Sammaniyah scholars in maintaining the existence of Sammaniyah Tariqa at the beginning and in the middle of the 20th century. The struggle of these scholars began since the Dutch removed the Islamic-Malay poliltics from the neighborhood of Palembang Sultanate Palace in 1824. Although the Dutch had left Indonesia and there has been a change of power, apparently the struggle of Islamic scholars to maintain the exposition of the order is still done. The method of study used in this research is qualitative with genealogical approaches, where researchers analyze the relationship of power built by the Sammaniyah scholars in spreading Islam and maintaining the teachings of orders. The different treatment experienced by the Sammaniyah order has made the Islamic scholars make a strategy so that they can endure the middle of the regime. Establishing a power relationship with the power Regim is one of the steps of Sammaniyah scholars in maintaining the order through the process of Islamization.
