Abstract

The number of conflicts within the Islamic community triggered by the issue of ikhtilaf is still frequent. Conflicts due to differences in religious understanding already occurred in Minangkabau in the early 20th century, namely the feud between the Kaum Tua and the Kaum Muda. This article examines Sheikh Sulaiman Arrasuli’s role in reconciling the conflict in Minangkabau at the time. This research is a part of library research by using qualitative approach to elucidate the intellectual dynamics in the 20th century in Minangkabau. The findings are that the conflict occurred between the Kaum Tua and the Kaum Muda in Minangkabau had a major impact on the creation of polarization and division in society. In this case, although Sheikh Sulaiman Arrasuli was representation of the Kaum Tua, he was able to become a mediating figure who reconciled these groups. Sheikh Sulaiman Arrasuli not only acted as a defender of the Kaum Tua but also tried to find other alternatives to bridge the two sides for reconciliation. Sheikh Sulaiman Arrasuli took three steps to reconcile the conflicts. The first is instill an inclusive attitude and caution in giving fatwas to minimize the spread of erroneous fatwas that can disunite the community. The second is to reconcile Adat and religious groups. Thirdly, Sheikh Sulaiman Arrasuli maintained good relations with the Kaum Muda and persuaded the Kaum Muda to stop the conflict, because it harmed the public interest.
