Abstract

Shaikh Ismail Abdul Wahab (1897-1947 AD) was a warrior executed by the Dutch in 1948 in Tanjungabalai Asahan. One of the medias of his struggle was the book of Burhȃn al-Ma`rifah. This book was written to reorganize the fatalistic theological ideology to be more dynamic. It was published as a theological spiritualization of the people to mobilize resistance to seize the independence of Indonesia. How he wrote the work, and why the theological spiritualization was used as a mobilizer of popular resistance were necessary to study. The main purpose of this study was to answer the two issues above. The study used a historical and theological approach with the primary data of the book Burhȃn al-Ma`rifah. This study found out: 1) theological understanding has relevancy with the movement of popular resistance against a regime; and 2) Wahab with his work was a noteworthy in the history of Indonesia as a hero because he made a great contribution, both in thought and movement.
