The Center of Calligraphy in Indonesia


A. The Birth of An Idea
The first idea to establish Lemka derived from Drs. D. Sirojuddin AR. Starting from a desire to really like fantasy, to establish such organizations or institutions to develop the fine art of writing or handwriting Arabs who became his hobby. "Fantasy" appeared in 1975, when preparing Sirojuddin completing six years of study as students Gontor Modern Cottage. It was only in 1985 that he wanted a place of birth. Thus, the time span between the desire to an ideal travel time is granted for 10 years!
In 1976 became an official student at the Faculty of Adab IAIN Sharif Hidayatullah Jakarta. The desire grew stronger, after it appeared in Jakarta more freely distribute khatnya writing talents in various publications and other agencies. But, to finish college in 1982, still remain as wishful fantasy. Although he has endeavored to find fellow khatat (the writers handwriting) to agree to make the container "shelter", the idea does not interest them at all. Looking for friends who are less committed to the college, the more impossible anymore. However, the curiosity is still turbulent. Meanwhile, paint and paint "just to yourself" boring, though admittedly has a lot of money.
A year later, 1983, there is a call to teach the courses (which incidentally is) calligraphy. Thus, a lecturer at the Faculty of Adab calligraphy into two persons, formerly Prof. H.M. Salim Fachry. Special courses in calligraphy, is a student favorite Sirojuddin Prof. H.M. Fachry Salim, because his handwriting is better than hand scratches his friends. For this, Sirojuddin commented: "Of course, because my friends are not gifted to write handwriting."
Teaching period in the first years are often filled with confusion, in the absence of implementation guidelines and BCO (Basic Course Outline) is clear. While knowledge of the history of calligraphy, as admitted by Sirojuddin, not at all because at that time possessed books on calligraphy and hard to find such problems have not been popularized. Given the opportunity to teach calligraphy should be used as an opportunity to immediately proclaim those ideals. In fact, even make the situation more awkward.
In the year '83, the Sirojuddin with Prof. H.M. Salim Fachry and Ustaz K.H.M. Abd. Muhili Razzaq al khattat from Tangerang became equally Calligraphy Competition Council of Justice National MTQ-13 in Padang. Both of the latter is Sirojuddin teachers. Abd. Razzaq handwriting is known as the author's most prominent professionals in Indonesia who scratches his arms outstretched among the hundreds of books on religion in the country. While Salim is the author of the Qur'an Fachry Heritage on orders of the late President Sukarno. When flying on a plane to Padang, the desire Sirojuddin was raised to the second teacher who immediately welcomed it saying "Thank God". In fact, Salim Fachry later said, that in fact he had long wanted the association of khattat, but how does it happen? The existence of Sirojuddin idea that makes the hearts and minds open Fachry Salim, even he felt re-energized, after a few tens of years of education leave (including calligraphy education in Madrasah Tahsinul Khutut) in Cairo, kalamnya handles encased in a wooden box and not diguriskan more. He urged Sirojuddin to immediately implement the plan. Unfortunately, the plan was, once again, displaced until two years later.
Not because "one mother contain" if the plan was repeatedly delayed. Because, in relation to: who those people will collected and how the technical? What programs will be implemented? Who are our calligraphy tutor-tutor? Where wing organizations should be developed? Once the idea began to bloom and bloom, difficulty picking and menerapkannyalah that appears. If the organization was born, how it works in that time Prof. H.M. Salim Fachry who are over 80 years has started aging, KHM Abd. Razzaq himself was close to 70 years. In Jakarta, looking for young khattat khattat-versed in the organization is also difficult.
While waiting for a way out, Sirojuddin idly develop college textbooks calligraphy. Capital: no idea of ​​the "essence" of calligraphy. He paced and borrow some books refrence to KHM Abd. Razzaq at Tangerang. To her surprise, the dictates of the planned maximum of 50 pages, growing out of control up to 430 pages. There he stopped writing. From the breadth of content dictates it, there is a very important conclusion that so reflections: that the calligraphy is very philosophical and strategic to be developed. The next surprise, when the textbook was idly thrown into penrbit (Reader Panjimas, Jakarta), then printed 5,000 copies, was discharged in 7 months. Finally Sirojuddin more convinced, that the masses will be worked really exist, and they are really waiting for guidance, as evidenced by dozens of letters he had received a complaint about the difficulty of developing talent in the area.
Nothing else should ditungu. This time Sirojuddin forced to "desperate". The trick is very simple. At night made graffiti-graffiti and reference job order spurious, only two sheets. A student who is most familiar to him as often borrow books, named ECE Abidin, was summoned. ECE, the birth of Sukabumi, at that time just sitting in the second semester of the Faculty of Adab Department of Islamic History and Culture. ECE was told to contact the class comrades who have been determined to forge an alliance cooperation. Discussions between the two men occurred on the eve of the crescent moon of Rajab 1405 AH 24 or 15 April 1985. At first his friends ECE states giddy, knowing what they know about calligraphy. But, ECE teacher who brought the message was convincing with gusto, that the important organizations were formed first. Problem later, do not mess around now. While ECE lobbied fellow students who have not experienced that organization, Sirojuddin design plans further.
The April 17, 1985 (26 Rajab 1405 AH), all components of the board is ready to receive "big idea" is, and that day is also determined as the day and date of birth Lemka. Then on April 20, 1985 (29 Rajab 1405 AH), Dean of the Faculty of Adab IAIN Jakarta Drs. Abd. Muttalib Sulaiman, gave the inaugural Faculty of Adab siding space. In addition to Daily Board, chaired by Drs. D. Sirojuddin AR, present at the meeting Prof. H.M. Fachry Salim who later served as President of Trustees. While K.H.M. Abd. Razzaq Muhili absent. The event was covered by reporters historic Panj Society Moh. Nazi load it on the magazine edition 466.
It is amazing, even the "odd half" of an institution dedicated to coaching people with talent "as the country" is only controlled by the Board which consists of a young lecturer and the student level I. at that time, all of them commented: "It's really desperate measures!"
By the Chairman Lemka, the students board the first class was regarded as the people who contributed to 'give moral force ", so the association which was originally just a personal fantasy come true and the form of common property. Learn more, the names of the students are:
1. ECE Abidin2. M. Hamid Ibrahim3. Badriati4. Brotherhood Azizi5. Ghazali Ahmad Zahir6. Ahmad Ibn Gustiri7. Nani Nur'aini8. Rd. Siti Sa'adah9. M. Anwar Amin10. LigaBukra11. Darta12. M. Nur Muvid13. Mudrik Qori Indra (semester IV)
Four days after the inauguration, which is dated 24 April 1985 (4 Sha'ban 1405 AH), successfully arranged AD / ART Lemka by Formulation Team: Drs. D. Sirojuddin AR, Badri Yatim, Asep Usman Ismail, ECE Abidin, Mudrik Qori Indra and Fuad Jabali. Five names tekahir are the students of Faculty of Adab IAIN Jakarta. After that the composition of the Board began to be refined.
B. Name and Purpose of the Institute
The name was originally planned shaft Calligraphy Chester. But, when shortened to CCP, the impression is very bad. Especially in Indonesia, the abbreviation CCP is the Communist Party of China. In addition, the words give an exclusive Chester. At first, Ciputat, indeed, expected to be the center of the development of the above ideas.
In the evening of April 18, 1985, Sirojuddin guests, namely Amin Nurdin and Badri Orphans, both his friends at boarding school since. After expressing the name, they also show disapproval. Thus was born the name of the Islamic Calligraphy Institute. However, that name will provide the load is too heavy, considering the name of Islam is too great and could be expanded. Once submitted one name anymore, Institute of calligraphy of the Qur'an, Badri and Amin agreed. Described by Sirojuddin about the reasons to take the word "Quran", namely: "the Quran as a source of ethics, when a khattat scrawled Arabic calligraphy." Thus, the dairy is the Arabic calligraphy, ethics, morals processing springs to the Qur'an . Thus, a khattat or calligrapher will always be controlled and under the protection of ideas, inspiration, creation, aesthetics and the teachings of bias reflected the desire of the Qur'an. In a simpler expression: An khattat or calligrapher must be good moral, noble character, pious and work for the glory of religion according to the teachings contained in the Holy Qur'an.
Qur'an Calligraphy Institute, at first, shortened to Lekar. But it is feared remind people to Lekra, an arts organization in the PKI underbow Old Order era. Then turn to the IFIs and eventually became Lemka. After finding the right word, the third mate was shaking hands with each other very fast at all.
At the inaugural Lemka underway, 20 April 1985, the goal Lemka presented clearly and without hesitation, namely: "The development of talent and the introduction of Islamic heritage" with businesses, among others, "Speeding up the process of popularization of art writing handwriting or calligraphy for all levels of society, especially young people, in the ground water. "
C. Status Lemka
When Lemka proclaimed, is not unthinkable that the Faculty Senate Mahasiawa Adab has existed, as the only legitimate student organizations. At the time of confirmation by the Dean of the Faculty of Adab, 20 April 1985, a member of the Faculty of Adab Sema named Ade Asnawi Lemka directly questioned the status of the position in the Faculty, whether Lemka be a full part of the Student Senate or as an autonomous institution fully or semi-autonomous. Given the objectives to be achieved Lemka too large, even among job-job beyond the senate, then Lemka placed on the Special Unit is given the freedom to create and implement their own system of stewardship and its programs.
