5. Resistance Against the European Colonial


Because of the wars between the Muslims and the Europeans are too long, as was the case in the islands Ibriya and Eastern Europe, the Portuguese and Spanish began to discharge its efforts to quickly conquer the Muslims. Including control of resources and potential wealth of nature in warfare.
Physical resistance, economics, or religion begins by destroying the Muslim trade routes between west and east. Also by mastering the roads connecting the world's wealth and resources in the eastern part. According to them, that's the way to defeat Islam and its adherents.
But when the Portuguese reached the area east, it turns out the Arabs had got there first. Moreover, many emerging Islamic kingdoms. This makes people angry and upset Portuguese who want to master their project areas east of wealth.


They then tried to eliminate the influence of Arabs and Muslims from the area. Portuguese General De Elbokareik, in a speech in front of the soldiers said, "only to alienate the Muslims from the spice trade, the Portuguese could weaken the power of Islam. And to carry out the solemn to the Lord, we must drive the Mur (Arabic) and put the fire of religious Mohammad. If successful, surely it will not spread fire forever ".
Begin Hadharim shoulder to shoulder with fellow Muslims with high determination to struggle against the rapacious colonialism on Indonesia's wealth. Hadharim started dabbling in the battle against the Portuguese and their allies, the Hindu king. Among the heroes who very bersaja is Hidayatullah bin Abdullah bin Ali (Din) of the family of Abdul Malik al-Alawi had previously managed to expel the Portuguese from the ground kelahiranya, Cambodia. After that he settled in the Islamic kingdom of Demak. In 1526 Sultan Sultan bin Abdul Fattah Trenggono Demak chose as commander Hidayatullah combat troops prepared to attack Pajajaran Hindu kingdom in West Java. This kingdom has agreed on cooperation with the Portuguese government against Islam.


Hidayatullah led forces won the battle. City of Palm Sunda can be mastered and was renamed Jaya Karta. Currently Jaya Karta became the State Capital of Indonesia with the name of Jakarta. Then the Portuguese troops led by General Henrik Reem came, resulting in heavy fighting between troops and Portuguese Hidayatullah. In glorious, the battle was won Hidayatullah troops. He then dubbed Fatahillah. Moderate people call Faletehan Portugal.
Hidayatulah struggle against the Portuguese and the idol worshipers this continues until the year 959 H or 1525 AD He resigned from the government to preach. He then gave the reins of government of Banten kingdom to his son to continue the struggle against the Portuguese. Also the Netherlands in 1833. Until finally, the kingdom of Banten succumbed to the Dutch government in Surabaya.
On the Filipinos, the struggle against colonial Spain is also a large family headed by Sharif Abu Bakr bin Zainal Abidin. The battle lasted for three centuries.


In Palembang, the struggle against the Dutch colonialists made the famous Sultan Badruddin religious and valiant in defense of Islam. But after the fall of the capital of Palembang into the hands of Dutch colonists exiled Sultan Badruddin and his prime minister, Omar Abdullah ibn as-Segaf, to the island of Ternate in 1821 AD


Including Hadharim who do struggle when the initial arrival of the Dutch colonists was Amir al-Wahab bin Sulaiman Abdur-Rahman ibn Muhammad ibn 'Umar ibn al-Alawi Basyaiban. His grandfather, Abdurrahman, came from Hadhramaut Qasam to Cirebon and married the daughter of King Cirebon. From his marriage, he had two sons, Abdurrahim and Solomon.

In India, the struggle against European colonizers is also done by the group Mabela with high courage. Sultan Ghalib bin Awadh al-Quaiti said, "Do you remember the reproach Portuguese, Dutch, French, and English. Government they are very distressed by this group of fierce resistance. "


Movement of these militant groups supported by some scholars known by the title sayyid meaning Embankment. What is meant is the sayyid descent Bani Alawi of Hadhramaut. Regarding courage Mabela groups, as mentioned source of the Netherlands and France at the time, "they were once in the group who dared to defend Islam. They never give up altogether and more willing to die in the struggle to defend his country. "Moreover, their tactics in the war and keorganisasiannya similar to the Tribe Moro Filipinos.
Ethnic Arab Hadramout growing development in India in the days after that as a soldier in a variety of smaller states in al-Marotsa who have embraced Islam for more than 40 years. This soldier who fought against the British occupation in India, amounting to 6000 soldiers.


Hadharim there are not only extra troops to India, but in control and in part become warlords. This can be known from the story of the British colonel in his memory when fighting against Hadharim in the wars being fought between armies of al-Marotsa and British soldiers, the elite British soldiers are reluctant to put troops Basyafa 'and kings. That's because many soldiers Hadharim there. Moreover Arabs are famous for his ability to survive and beat back the enemy. One thing that is recognized by British soldiers.


Reinald Borton said, "there is no army in the world is as daring and sesolid Arab armies. Although they do not have much ability in battle tactics, but in every soul there is high confidence that they will not be lost while they are still alive. "


British troops fought against the army of al-Marotsa for three times. And it forced them to reap huge losses. First in the year 1775-1782. Second in the year 1802-1805. In this year the British army can defeat al-Marotsa army under the command of Sandiya and Baransala.
However Basyayfa 'Raji Swamp second uniting all forces of al-Marotsa tried to fight back and want to restore the country's independence. He began to fire a third war. But sooner or later the British army could defeat them and are able to master Basyayfa army in 1818. It is characterized by submission Basyaifa commander.


In subsequent years the leadership vacuum (vacuum of power) in the command center of al-Marotsa forces resulting forces are compartmentalized box. Hadharim many who fled to Heydar Abad. Some are forced back by the government to Hadhramaut English teacher. One of the community leaders who joined in the Heydar Abad was Umar bin Awadh al-Quaiti.


Conclusion

 
1. Hadharim able to achieve a high position, both in the military or government. Evidently, one of them there is a warlord or king postscript capable of resistance against European colonialism.
2. The existence hadharim in politics, military, or social controls could complicate colonialism in Islam and its followers. Moreover, the colonialists were successful holding of Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms to cooperate. The majority of Arabs, as community leaders, the nature of the struggle waged on the natives.
3. Hadharim struggle against Dutch colonialism or the British made a distinct fear for them in Arabic and Hadharim. It's fruitless political changes associated with colonialism in the Arab or hadharim in India and Southeast Asia.
