About me / Bio:
Hamka was a prominent Indonesian Islamic scholar, philosopher, writer, lecturer, politician and journalist. He was born in Agam, West Sumatra, in 1908, to a family of devout Muslims. His father, Abdul Karim Amrullah, was a reformist cleric who founded the modernist movement in Minangkabau. Hamka received his early education from his father and other religious teachers, and learned Arabic, Malay, and other languages. He also developed a passion for reading and writing, and published his first novel, Saudagar Minang, at the age of 17. Hamka traveled extensively throughout the archipelago, the Middle East, and Mecca, where he performed the hajj in 1928. He met various Islamic figures and learned from different schools of thought. He also witnessed the rise of nationalism and anti-colonialism in Indonesia, and joined several political and social organizations, such as Sarekat Islam, Muhammadiyah, and Masyumi.

He also founded and edited several magazines, such as Pedoman Masyarakat, Panji Masyarakat, and Gema Islam. Hamka was a respected and influential figure in the Indonesian Muslim community. He served as the first chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council, and received honorary doctorates from Al-Azhar University and the National University of Malaysia.
