Abstract
Haji Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah (HAMKA) is a Muslim scholar from the Nusantara, who is famous with his works in many fields. His contributions in the development and progress of Muslims in the 20th century are seen as crucial. This study discusses Hamka’s contributions in three major fields which are politics, education, and literature. Hamka strived in the Indonesian political movements such as the Masyumi Party and the Indonesian Ulema Council. He was a religious teacher in educational institutions in Indonesia. He was also a well-known Indonesian writer in the 20th century and had produced many works in different genres. His contributions in the three fields have put forth this writing. This study applies suitable historical analysis method such as internal and external criticism to provide factual evidence as the findings. External criticism is used to confirm the authenticity of a source in terms of time, place, and the person who quoted or produced the materials. Meanwhile, internal criticism is done through careful research of the confirmed and authentic content of the sources from external criticism. As a result, Hamka’s excellence in the three fields which are politics, educations, and literature is indispiutable. This study also highlights his eminence as a great Muslim scholar, writer, leader, and preacher. The impact of his contributions is evident not only in the 20th century but continues until today.
