Muhammadiyah

Also known as Muhammadiyya, Muhammad, Mohammad, Syafaat, Mintaredja, Muhammad Syafaat Mintaredja, Mohammad Syafaat Mintaredja

Muhammadiyah (), officially the Muhammadiyah Society () is a major Islamic non-governmental organization in Indonesia. The organization was founded in 1912 by Ahmad Dahlan in the city of Yogyakarta as a reformist socioreligious movement, advocating ijtihad—individual interpretation of ''Qur'an and sunnah, as opposed to taqlid—conformity to the traditional interpretations propounded by the ulama''. Since its establishment, Muhammadiyah has adopted a reformist platform mixing religious and secular education, primarily as a way to promote the upward mobility of Muslims toward a "modern" community
