Ahmad Surkati (Arabic: احمد بن محمد السركتي; ʾaḥmad bin muḥammad alsourkatee; Arabic pronunciation:[(ʔ)æħmædbinmʊˈħæmmædælsurkɑtij]; 1875 CE – 6 September 1943) was the founder of the organization Jam'iyat al-Islah wa Al-Irsyad al-Arabiyah (Arab Association for Reform and Guidance), which later transformed into Jam'iyat al-Islah wal Irsyad al-Islamiyyah, which is more commonly called as al-Irshad in Batavia, August 1915. Many historians acknowledge al-Irshad role in the reformation of Islamic thought in Indonesia, but unfortunately his name is not mentioned in the discourse of Islamic thought in Indonesia.[1]
