Erfan Dahlan (Putra KH Ahmad Dahlan) dan Ahmadiyah

Irfan Dahlan (1905 – 1967)


Irfan Dahlan adalah anak keempat dari K.H. Ahmad Dahlan (w. 1923), Pendiri Muhammadiyah, dengan Siti Walidah. Lahir tahun 1905 dengan nama asli Jumhan. Berganti nama menjadi Irfan Dahlan atas keinginannya sendiri saat bertinggal di Lahore, India.

Tahun 1924, bersama beberapa kawannya, Jumhan muda dikirim untuk belajar Islam di Ishaat Islam College yang didirkan oleh Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaati Islam Lahore (AAIIL) di Lahore, India. Hal ini terjadi sesudah kedatangan misionaris Ahmadiyah di Yogyakarta, yakni Mirza Wali Ahmad Baig dan Maulana Ahmad, yang memberikan Pidato Keagamaan pada Kongres Muhammadiyah ke-13 di Yogyakarta.

Setelah cukup lama belajar di Lahore, Irfan Dahlan kemudian dikirim sebagai mubaligh untuk berdakwah di Pattani, Thailand. Di sanalah ia bertinggal dan berumah tangga hingga wafatnya. (Lihat tulisan mengenai Keluarga Irfan Dahlan di Bangkok, Thailand).

Dalam booklet World-Wide Religious Revolution yang diterbitkan oleh AAIIL pada Desember 1932, dikisahkan bahwa Dr. A.W. Khan, pendiri gerakan dakwah Islam di Pattani, memberikan kabar kepada AAIIL di India sebagai berikut:
“…obtained from our Society the services of Mr. Erfan Dahlan, a young Javanese and a student of our Ishaat Islam College. Mr. Erfan Dahlan joined the Pattani Mission in October 1930. A little later he was sent to Bangkok, the capital of Siam, to learn the Siamese language where he was cordially received by Maulana A. Karim Masoodee, Imam of the Royal Mosque, who is helping him in every way.” (p. 18)


Gambar di atas adalah foto bersama antara Staf Pengajar dan Siswa Isha‘at Islam College, Lahore, pada tahun 1927. Perguruan ini didirikan oleh Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha‘at Islam Lahore dan berlangsung hingga tahun 1928. Para guru yang duduk di kursi dari kiri ke kanan adalah Maulana Abdul Haq Vidyarthi, Maulana Sadr-ud-Din, and Maulana Abdus Sattar. Siswa berjas putih yang bersimpuh di tanah adalah Irfan Dahlan. (lihat juga di sini).

Pada tanggal 23 Juni 1958, Irfan Dahlan bertemu kembali dengan guru kesayangannya, Maulana Abdul Haq Vidyarthi, yang bersinggah  di Bangkok, saat melakukan perjalanan dari Lahore menuju Kepulauan Fiji. Hal ini tertulis dalam surat Abdul Haq Vidyarthi yang dimuat dalam Majalah Ruh-i Islam, Oktober-November 1958).

Tahun 1961, Irfan Dahlan melukis wajah sang guru, Maulana Abdul Haq Vidyarthi, dalam bayang-bayang Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Di bawah lukisan itu, beliau mencantumkan sebaris puisi karya Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Lihat Lukisan Sang Guru Karya Irfan Dahlan.

Tahun 1967, Irfan Dahlan wafat. Ia meninggalkan sepuluh orang anak dari hasil perkawinannya dengan Zahara. (lihat artikel terkait di sini) []

  1. Martin van Bruinessen Najib, ada kesalahan kecil di tajuk. Ditulis "Irfan Dahlan (1905 – 1923)". Sebagaimana ditulis dalam esei, Irfan wafat pada tahun 1967.
    Apakah benar ia dilarang kembali ke Indonesia oleh keluarganya di Yogya?

    Najib Burhani Muthalib Samad: you are right. Irfan Dahlan was not a member of Ahmadiyya Muslim Jemaat or Qadiani Ahmadiyya. As you can see from the pictures, he was a member of Lahore Ahmadiyya.

    Najib Burhani Mbak Ala'i Nadjib: Judul tulisannya Herman Beck adalah: The rupture between the Muhammadiyah and the Ahmadiyya. ada di link berikut: http://www.kitlv-journals.nl/index.php/btlv/issue/view/737. Mas Mun'im Sirry: Versi dari Muhammadiyah ada di buku-buku, tidak ada link yg bisa diakses. Kalau tertarik, saya memiliki datanya. Tapi intinya, keduanya tak terlalu beda.

    Muthalib Samad Indeed, when I was with the Qadiyani, I felt that they are also muslims like me, becauuse every thing what they did are just the same as other muslims did. They only differ from us on the nubuwwat of mirza Ghulam Ahmad. But this is only a trivial thing because Mirza is oly considered as Nabi kecil without bringing new sharia.

    Muhammad Nuh Pak Najib, konon ada perbedaan antara Qadiyani dan Lahore. Yang Qadiyani menganggap Mirza Ghulam Ahmad sebagai Nabi, yang Lahore hanya sebagai mujaddid. Apakah yang selama ini diserang itu memang Qadiyani? Kalau lihat sejarah seperti ini, orang Ahmadiyah sudah cukup lama hadir di negeri ini kok ndak diakui ya mereka itu sebagai warga negara yang juga punya hak?

    Najib Burhani Muthalib Samad: The difference is not only on the prophethood of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Besides that belief, there are a number of distinctive beliefs of the Qadiani Ahmadiyya. Among them are the conception of the Messiah and the Mahdi; prohibition of praying behind non-Ahmadi imams, the doctrine on intra-religious marriage, the concept of jihad, the teaching of chanda, and the system of caliphate.

  2. Najib Burhani Muhammad Nuh: Ada beberapa perbedaan antara Qadiani dan Lahore Ahmadiyah, bukan hanya persoalan kenabian. Yang terutama justru tentang sistem khilafah. Perbedaan itu sangat keras pada tahun-tahun setelah 1914. Bisa dibaca dalam perdebatan antara Mahmud Ahmad, khalifah Ahmadiyah Qadian, dan Muhammad Ali, presiden Lahore Ahmadiyah. Yang diserang? seringkali keduanya. Tidak banyak yangtahu perbedaan antarakedua kelompok ini.

    Muthalib Samad Najib Burhani, indeed there other differences but the main one is the nubuwwah of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Sunni and shia also have a lot of differences but now we stop to anatheme each other. Ahmadiyya Qadiyan is even closer to us than those the Ismailiyya who no longer observe ritual as we do, but this group is still muslim too.

    Muthalib Samad Najib Burhani, it is out of proportion to blame SBY for the intolerant act of some radical musli groups. This is not the era where oppression act of the rulers can be condocted. Benni Murdani stoped the Tanjung Periok muslim youth through masacre in 1984, Romo Magnis dream that this action should be done againts radical muslim groups. SBY cannot do this, it is hard to bring this big country to completely stable since the reformation has taken place only a decade. I do not trust Romo Magnis, he is double standard. Romo Magnis is not honest for other bad things done by the Indonesian Catholics. He denied the involvement of Romo Van Beek in CSIS. Romo Van Beek indoctrinated Cathoic Youths to hate Indonesian Muslims, it is obvious about this, but Magnis deniies this ( Read the dissertation of Mujiburrahaman under Martin Van Brunissen). The death penalty of Tibo who massacred a lot of muslims in Poso was seen by Magnis as wrong and Tibo in his eyes is the hero. Romo Magnis never critisizes the unfair and unsensitive methode of Christian missionarist in Indonesia where they build their churches without following the indonesian laws. This is clearr that Romo Magnis is only a missionarist who will be very happy if all indonesian to be catholics What Magnis does is only external criticism not internal one. He does not write a letter of disagreement with the speech of pope Benedict's insultiing Rasulullah. When I asked him aout this, he did not critisize him or say that Pope Benedict is wrong. What Magnis does is unproportional jugdment againts SBY.

  3. Muthalib Samad I do not trust Magnis at all. He asked me why the Catholic Churches cannt be built in Saudi Arabia. He really want the churches should be build there, maybe including Mecca and Madina. I told him Saudi doos not have any Christian citizens and according to Saudi law only its citizen can build the house of whorship. Saudi only invite the Christian to work there temporarily, thus the goverment only assign certain building for them to have religios worship. Indeed, If Romo Magnis wants the church to be build there, he should firstly change Saudi law. He listened to my answer and cannot argue anymore.

    Muthalib Samad Religious freedom in Indonesia is above all, even better that USA. Look at Pastor Jhon case where he burned the Quran, he is not punished until now. In Swis, the mosque cannot have the dome becuase they see it is a symbol of muslim domination.Vatican itself does not have religious tolerance, this can be seen from the intolerant speech of Pope Benedict which insults Rasullulah by calling him(SAW) as the prophet of bloodshed ( his speech 2006).

    Muthalib Samad He certainly deserve it. Religious intolerance is not easy to stop, it happen every where including in the holy see of Vatican. Those who do this are mostly coming from less eductated people except in Vatican. SBY had already tried his best to handle this but he cannot imitate the way how Benni Murdani stopped the Muslim youth demostration of tanjung periok through brutal massacre. It must be noticed reason of why some muslims become radical. It is also triggered by the radical actions of some non-muslim groups through their unsensitive missionarist activities. Radicalization must provoke another radical reaction from the other part.Both sides must restrain their muscles in order to live side by side in harmony.

    Muthalib Samad Remember before SBY era we have more problems such as Ambon conpllict, NInja killing NU clergies in Banyuwangi in the era of Gus Dur and Poso conplict, iincluding Madura -Dayak massacre in kalimantan. All these are more brutal and more seroius than that what happen in the era of SBY. When Gus Dur was given a lot of award, nobody question of how he also failed to stop the conplict. Why Romo Magnis did not stop Gus Dur to get all awards. He is afraid of NU people who might dislike his disagreement. I do not think he likes Gus Dur either. I told you before Romo Magnis is only a zealot Chatolic missionarist, not at all as a human right activist. Thus, we do need to follow him when he prevent Idonesia to have the award of religios freedom. No other country respect all religion like Indonesia for ever since its first foundation.

  4. Najib Burhani Muthalib Samad: This is abaut 'religious freedom award', not other kind of award. I have several examples from the subject that I am familiar with on why we need, at least, to question whether SBY deserves the 'religious freedom award'. According to the report from the Setara Institute (Hasani ed. 2009, 37-8), from 265 cases of religious intolerance in Indonesia in 2008, 193 (73%) of them were related to the Ahmadiyya. Although less dramatic, similar trend occurred in years before and after 2008. The annual report from the Wahid Institute also finds similar trend; from 93 cases of violation of religious freedom in Indonesia in 2011, 46 cases (50%) are related to the Ahmadiyya (The Wahid Institute 2011, 46). In short, religious intolerance in Indonesia during the era of SBY is worse than the time before him.

  5. Muthalib Samad Indonesia is much more stable under SBY despite the fact there are some radical intolerant action by certain faction againts minorities. In every conplict, the two sides should make an effort to intropect why the conplict happens. Certainly the reports that were given by Setara Institute and Wahid Institute must be taken into consideration, but the era before SBY was more unstable and the conplicts were more brutal and dangerous. The intolerant actions are done by all religious factions; wether from the majority or the minority. In Flores, several brutal actions are done by the majority Catholic. Remember, the case of hostiin Belu ( 2002 and several timesprecedent) triggered the anger of the majority Catholic which ended up with murder and burning the mosques and protestant churches. When this happened, Romo Magnis was just silent. The Wahid Insitute is sometimes double standard. When it comes to violant action done by NU personals such as the conplict between NU and LDI in kediri in which the LDI was prevented to build a small clinic, the Wahid Institute did not make any report on this issue. SBY is the best president for a moment. Those who hate him are only those who judge him un-proportional.

    Muthalib Samad Those who expect SBY to crash the radical factions through brutal massacre as how Benii Murdani did in Tanjung Periok( 1984) are more dangerous than any radical factiions. Certainly, every thing was under controle under Orde Baru, but the cost of human right abuse was so immense. SBY is chosen not to repeat that mess.

    Muthalib Samad KH Ahmad Dahlan can be viewed from different angles. As the founder of Muhammadiyyah who tried his best to enlighten Indonesian Muslims through his a somewhat puritan approach in understanding Islam, he can be considered from the perspective of the puritans as a loser if his son espoused the Ahmadiyya Qadiyani. However, from the perspective of the moderate Islam, the involvement of his son to the Ahmadiyya Qadiyani, is a sign that Ahmad Dahlan is in fact a moderate Muslim.
