The Birth of New Islamic Culture of University of Indonesia Students: The Influence of Tarbiyah Movement 1989-1998

This paper discusses the birth of a new Islamic culture towards University of Indonesia students as a result of the influence of Tarbiyah movement in the period 1989-1998. At the University of Indonesia, the Tarbiyah movement, originally known as the dakwah campus movement, has moved further into campus politics. Using historical methods, data collected from various sources concluded that the Tarbiyah movement contributed greatly to instilling Islamic values within the University of Indonesia student movement. The planting of Islamic values was made easier after Tarbiyah activists controlled the student senate. The values embedded by the Tarbiyah movement, derived from the proliferation of halaqah (mentoring) in musholla or mosques on campus, religious mentoring activities for new students, and the large number of students who look syar'i. The existence of this research will add new varieties of study on Tarbiyah Movement. Previously, the study of Tarbiyah was only about the entry of the movement to Indonesia until its transformation into a political party. However, this paper specifically discloses the effects and impacts caused by the development of the Tarbiyah movement within the University of Indonesia.
