Abdurrahman Wahid or we usually call him Gus Dur is an Indonesian Muslim leader and political leader who became The fourth President of Indonesia from 1999 to 2001. He succeeded President BJ Habibie after being elected by the People's Consultative Assembly resulting from the 1999 General Election. The administration of his government was assisted by the Cabinet of National Unity. Abdurrahman Wahid's presidency began on October 20, 1999 and ended in the MPR Special Session in 2001. Exactly July 23, 2001, his leadership was replaced by Megawati Soekarnoputri after his mandate was revoked by the MPR. Abdurrahman Wahid is the former chairman of Tanfidziyah (executive body) of Nahdlatul Ulama and founder of the National Awakening Party (PKB).
Abdurrahman Wahid was born on the 4th day and the 8th month of the 1940 Islamic calendar in Denanyar Jombang, East Java from the couple Wahid Hasyim and Solichah. There is a belief that he was born on August 4, but the calendar used to mark his birthday is an Islamic calendar which means he was born on 4 Sya'ban 1359 Hijri, the same as 7 September 1940.
He was born by the name of Abdurrahman Addakhil. "Addakhil" means "The Conqueror." The word "Addakhil" was not well known and renamed "Wahid", and was later known as Gus Dur's call. "Gus" is a typical pesantren honorific call to a kiai child meaning "brother" or "mas".
t the end of the war in 1949, Wahid moved to Jakarta and his father was appointed Minister of Religion. Abdurrahman Wahid studied in Jakarta, went to SD KRIS before moving to Matraman Perwari Elementary School. Wahid was also taught reading non-Muslim books, magazines, and newspapers by his father to expand his knowledge. Wahid's education continued and in 1954, he entered Junior High School. In that year, he did not promoted to next grade. His mother then sent Gus Dur to Yogyakarta to continue his education by reciting KH. Ali Maksum at Pondok Pesantren Krapyak and studying in junior high school. In 1957, after graduating from junior high school, Wahid moved to Magelang to start Muslim Education at Tegalrejo Pesantren. He developed a reputation as a gifted pupil, completing pesantren education within two years (should be four years). In 1959, Wahid moved to Pesantren Tambakberas in Jombang. In 1963, Wahid received a scholarship from the Ministry of Religious Affairs to study Islamic Studies at Al Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt. He went to Egypt in November 1963. Although he was proficient in Arabic, Gus Dur was told by the university that he should take remedial classes before studying Islam and Arabic. Unable to provide evidence that he possessed Arabic skills, Wahid was forced to take remedial classes. Wahid has failed in Egypt. He disagreed with his educational methods as well as his work after the G30S annoyed him. In 1966, he was told he had to repeat his studies. Gus Dur's undergraduate education was saved through a scholarship at Baghdad University. After finishing his education at the University of Baghdad in 1970, Abdurrahman Wahid went to the Netherlands to continue his education. Wahid wanted to study at the University of Leiden, but was disappointed that his education at the University of Baghdad was less recognized. From the Netherlands, Wahid went to Germany and France before returning to Indonesia in 1971.
Before becoming president in Indonesia, Abdurrahman had become the head of MUI. Wahid's reforms made him very popular among the NU. At the 1984 National Assembly, many people began to express their desire to nominate Wahid as the new chairman of NU. Wahid accepted this nomination on condition that he obtain full authority to select the managers who will work under him. Wahid was elected as General Chairman of the Nahdlatul Ulama Board of Directors at the National Congress. .H. Abdurrahman Wahid was elected president on October 20, 1999. His election was democratic and transparent. Thanks to the support of Islamic parties who are members of the Central Axis of the Fraction of Development Unity, National Awakening Faction and Star Crescent Fraction,
While serving as president Gus Dur has several advantages and disadvantages, namely During the term of giving freedom to the widest possible extent to each tribe, especially the Chinese who notabenenya much in the economic field with the widest possible. Be courageous and firm in the economic sectors. While the shortcomings are physical limitations so that his performance in leading the country is less than the maximum impact on the economic field. Often travel abroad so that is considered to waste the state budget.
I like Gus Dur because he has a vision and in good lead. despite many contradictions, he remains firm in what he professes. He is also a man who is obedient to god so I like him.
