Muhammadiyah education is a modern Islamic value education that integrates religion with life and between faith and holistic progress. From the womb of Muhammadiyah education, it is hoped that a generation of educated Muslims will be born who are strong in faith and personality, as well as able to face and answer the challenges of the times. This is progressive Islamic education. (Diktilitbang, 2013: 9) This progressive education is the spirit for Al-Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan (AIK) Subjects that must be given to students at Muhammadiyah-Aisyiyah Universities (PTMA) both at home and abroad.
AIK must be part of the Muhammadiyah college’s efforts to achieve the vision and mission of the Muhamamdiyah college. The vision of Muhammadiyah Education as stated in the Decision of the 46th Muhammadiyah Congress on Revitalizing Muhammadiyah Education is “The formation of human learners who are devoted, noble, progressive and superior in science and technology as a manifestation of tajdid da’wah amar ma’rufnahi munkar (Muhammadiyah Central Leadership, 2015: 221). PTMA carries out the mandate to realize one of Muhammadiyah’s missions, namely organizing AIK education as part of preaching amar makruf nahi munkar. AIK education at PTMA has a strategic position, becomes the driving spirit, and the main mission of organizing PTMA.
AIK education is the strength of PTMA because it can be the basis of spiritual, moral and intellectual strength and movement for the entire academic community. In realizing this, UNISA Yogyakarta held an AIK Upgrading.
