Abstract

The Padri Movement played an important role in the process of Islamization in West Sumatra, especially through the leadership of Tuanku Imam Bonjol. Inspired by the Wahabi movement, the Padri Movement sought to purify Islamic teachings and oppose customary practices that were considered contrary to sharia. This study aims to understand more deeply the role of Tuanku Imam Bonjol in the process of Islamization in West Sumatra, especially through his contribution to the Padri Movement. This study uses a library method or literature study, where researchers collect data from various literature sources, both historical documents and previous academic studies. The approach used is qualitative, focusing on the description of words and in-depth analysis related to the role of Tuanku Imam Bonjol in the Padri Movement and its impact on the process of Islamization in West Sumatra.
