%X This book derives from research conducted in fifteen Indonesian   cities and aims to provide an overview of the perceptions and views   of contemporary Indonesian ulama on the nation-state format and   system. The significance of this research is not only to understand the   position of contemporary Indonesian ulama dealing with nation-state   but also to analyze the direction and challenges facing Indonesia in   the context of the strengthening influence of political Islam in this   predominantly Muslim country. It should be noted that ulama are   important figures who characterize the religious, social, political and   national dynamics of Indonesia from time to time. Since colonial   times, they have played an active role in introducing religious   discourse, modernity and national ideas (Azra 2004; Laffan 2004).   Before the Indonesian independence, they even appeared as the   pillars of teachers and layers of the foundation of Indonesia’s national   ideology. Important figures like K.H. Wahid Hasyim (NU), Ki Bagus   Hadikusumo (Muhammadiyah) and Kasman Singodimejo (Masyumi),   to name a few, were involved in the sessions of the Preparatory   Investigation Board for Indonesian Independence (BPUPKI) and the   Preparatory Committee for Indonesian Independence (PPKI) which   encouraged negotiations which eventually led to Pancasila being   confirmed as Indonesia’s national principle
