Muhammadiyah, born in 1912, had a longer experience compared to the Indonesian state proclaimed by Sukarno and Moh. Hatta in 1945. With that important experience also, Muhammadiyah had a very substantial tradition of democracy (deliberation, tanwir and muktamar). More than that, Muhammadiyah's democratic tradition was inspired by the teachings of Islamic Progress based on the Qur'an and al-Sunnah, which contained noble values of Islamic professionalism.
Therefore, until now, Muhammadiyah had held a five-year national congress (Muktamar) 47 times. As much as that too, Muhammadiyah practised and forged the core values of democracy such as liberty, justice, equality and fraternity.
Therefore, in the context of national development and democratization which were being fought by the Indonesian people, Muhammadiyah had and became a part of Indonesia itself.
