Muhammadiyah and Women’s Empowerment

Abstract

From the perspective of empowering the Islamic community, it can be argued that Muhammadiyah exists as an organization to empower or develop the Islamic community in the contemporary era. This is because of its role and contribution to an independent and progressive effort to empower or develop Islamic communities in Indonesia by using a modern Islamic management approach. Aisyiyah is one of the first autonomous organizations (Ortom) born from the womb of Muhammadiyah, which has the same goals as Muhammadiyah. Aisyiyah has a visionary strategic special program, namely towards women. The role and function of women is the most important part in the movement of the wheels of life, this field is the area that Sunnah has been working on until now. The purpose of this research is to find out the role of Muhammadiyah women in the life of the nation and state.
