Nahdlatul Ulama (Indonesian pronunciation: [nahˈdatʊl ʊˈlama], lit. 'Revival of the Ulama', NU) is an Islamic organization in Indonesia. Its membership numbered over 40 million in 2023,[2] making it the largest Islamic organization in the world.[3] NU is also a charitable body funding schools and hospitals as well as organizing communities to help alleviate poverty.
The NU was founded in 1926 by the ulema and merchants to defend both traditionalist Islamic practices (in accordance with Shafi'i school) and its members' economic interests.[3] NU's religious views are considered "traditionalist" in that it accepts local cultural traditions that do not conflict with Islamic law (in contrast to Islamic fundamentalist groups).[4] By contrast, the second largest Islamic organization in Indonesia, the Muhammadiyah, is considered "reformist" as it takes a more literal interpretation of the Qur'an and Sunnah.[4]
Some leaders of Nahdlatul Ulama are ardent advocates of Islam Nusantara, a distinctive variety of Islam that has undergone interaction, contextualization, indigenization, interpretation, and vernacularization according to socio-cultural conditions in Indonesia.[5] Islam Nusantara promotes moderation, anti-fundamentalism, pluralism, and a degree of syncretism.[6] Many NU elders, leaders, and religious scholars, however, have rejected Islam Nusantara in favor of a more conservative approach.[7]
