Hajer Abdallah Albshkar2 Abstract: This study aims to examine the contributions of Islamic scholars .
l-Aoulama>A.
in the publication of Islamic books in Medan during the 20th century and the role of publishers in supporting the development of Islamic intellectualism.
The research employs library research with a historical approach, incorporating literature reviews, in-depth interviews, and content analysis of various sources such as books, magazines, and newspaper archives.
The study adopts Antonio GramsciAos theory of hegemony to analyze the role of media in reinforcing the ideological dominance of Islam within society.
The findings reveal that publishers such as Syarikat Tapanuli and Rimbow, alongside scholars like M.
Arsjad Th.
Lubis and Zainal Arifin Abbas, played a significant role in disseminating Islamic literacy and shaping socio-political discourse during the period.
This research concludes that the publication of books and magazines in Medan not only served as a means of distributing religious knowledge but also functioned as a tool for advancing nationalism and independence through counter-hegemonic discourse.

0 International License Islamic Literary Culture Beyond Java Introduction The presence of Islamic scholars (Aoulama>A.
in Nusantara1 is reflected in their intellectual legacy, especially their published works.
2 These include books and articles featured in magazines or newspapers.
3 Their writings not only chronicle their scholarly pursuits but also provide a valuable source of knowledge for readers to delve into.
In the publishing process, the role of publishers cannot be overlooked.
The publication of a written work relies on the presence of a publishing entity.
Publishers serve as vital partners for authors by providing a platform for their writings, while authors are equally important to publishers, as their writings are essential for any publication activity.
This mutualistic relationship between publishers and authors, including Islamic scholars, highlights their interdependence.

Saidatul Khairiyah & Hajer Abdallah Albshkar emerged as a significant hub for publishing.
5 The publishing industry in Medan dominated IndonesiaAos publishing scene during this period, with over 30 publishers operating in the city within three decades.
These publishers produced textbooks, popular scientific books, scientific magazines, and newspapers, indicating a flourishing intellectual tradition in Medan.
Remarkably.
Islamic scholars contributed not only as writers but also actively participated in the publishing process.
6 Editorial teams of several popular scientific magazines included prominent scholars such as Buya Hamka, who served as editor-in-chief of Pedoman Masyarakat and Pelita Andalas, and Joesoef SouAoyb, who led Doenia Pengalaman.
As writers, the ulama of Medan were highly productive,8 publishing numerous works through local publishers such as Boekhandel Islamiyah or Poestaka Islam.
Their writings spanned various disciplines, appearing in magazines like Loekisan Poedjangga, published by Tjerdas.
Moestika Alhambra.
and Doenia Pengalaman, the first Islamic magazine published in Medan by Poestaka Islam.
In subsequent years, the ulama in Medan City expanded their contributions to the realm of book publishing like Sheikh Hasan MaAosum,9 Sheikh Yusuf Ahmad Lubis,10 Sheikh JaAofar JaAofar.

13 The productivity of Islamic book publishing continued to flourish.
By the 1940s and 1950s, several new publishers emerged, further enriching the publication of Islamic books.
However, the prominence of Islamic book publishers in Medan gradually declined by the late 1980s.
While a few publishers like Islamiyah continued their activities, many ceased operations.
By the 1990s.
Islamic book publishing in Medan had nearly disappeared.
Factors contributing to this decline include government policies on the publishing industry, the removal of paper subsidies leading to higher book prices, piracy, and a decline in reading interest.
Despite its relatively brief golden age of approximately 30 years.
MedanAos publishing industry made significant contributions to Islamic intellectualism.
This study aims to document the legacy of MedanAos ulama during this period and their published works in both book and magazine formats.
The research problem lies in the lack of studies addressing the contributions of ulama to Islamic book publishing in Medan, despite their substantial role in enriching Islamic intellectualism.
This study seeks to fill this gap by examining how MedanAos ulama influenced the development of Islamic literacy through publishing and how Islamic book publishers in Medan facilitated the dissemination of religious knowledge.

June 2024 Islamic Literary Culture Beyond Java Deli Courant, the first newspaper in Medan, was published on March 18, 1885.
This Dutch-language newspaper was owned by Dutch nationals and operated its own printing press.
17 The press employed a steam-powered printing system and had a circulation of 150 copies.
employed workers for various tasks, including typesetting and operating the steam-powered machinery.
Additionally, the press accepted printing orders for brochures and advertisements.
However, this printing business did not benefit the indigenous population, as it solely catered to the interests of tobacco companies operating in Medan.
The newspaperAos office was located on Huttenbach Straat, now known as Ahmad Yani Street.
It was led by an editor-in-chief named Jacques Deen.
Deli Courant maintained a conservative stance, supporting plantation interests throughout the late 18th century.
Ten years after Deli Courant, another newspaper.
De Oostkust, was launched in 1895, although little detailed information is available about it.
In 1899, the newspaper De Sumatra Post was introduced, published by a European printing company owned by J.

Pertja Timor was published, marking the first Indonesian-language newspaper owned by locals, under the editorial leadership of Mangaraja Silambuwe.

June 2024 Islamic Literary Culture Beyond Java Indonesian romance novels were published between the 1930s and late 1940s, often appearing in serialized magazine formats.
These publications were small, affordable, and widely popular, ensuring high sales and The popularity of romance novels led to the establishment of specialized publishers, such as Arena, which focused on romantic publications but later expanded to general books.
Newspapers like Central Courant and Loekisan Pujangga also began publishing romance novels.
This phenomenon became a hallmark of IndonesiaAos literary scene, with Medan as its epicenter.
Illustrated stories or comics further enriched MedanAos publishing industry in the 1950s and 1960s.
Publishers like Haris, although not exclusively comic publishers, contributed to the genre.
Artists like Taguan Hadrjo created comics published by Haris, marking an important chapter in MedanAos creative scene.
The role of MedanAos ulama in publishing was also pivotal.
Beyond being writers, they actively participated as journalists and editors in Islamic-themed newspapers and magazines.
Prominent ulama published works through publishers like Boekhandel Islamiyah and Poestaka Islam, contributing significantly to MedanAos intellectual and religious discourse.
From the perspective of Antonio GramsciAos hegemony theory,24 this study highlights how MedanAos press, particularly during the colonial era, served as an instrument of domination by the European colonial ruling class over the indigenous population.
Newspapers like Deli Courant, owned by Europeans and catering solely to their interests, exemplify how media was utilized to sustain colonial cultural and economic hegemony.
Conversely, indigenous publications like Pertja Timor and Pewarta Deli in the early 20th century represent attempts to create counterhegemony by addressing nationalism and independence struggles.
Thus, the transition from colonial dominance to national awakening is reflected in the dynamics of MedanAos media landscape, where publishing served not only as a vehicle for disseminating information but also as a tool for shaping social and political discourse.

The following passage from the book expresses gratitude to Islamiyah and acknowledges the contributions of Bagindo Siregar:
We pray that Allah TaAoala grants us all guidance, and I express my deep gratitude to Firma Islamiyah for publishing this book.
This book is also a tribute to our late brother.
Bagindo Siregar, the founder of Islamiyah, who has passed away.
We pray that all his efforts in spreading religious books, as a contribution to the development and progress of Islam in Indonesia, especially in North Sumatra, are accepted by Allah TaAoala as righteous deeds and are rewarded Ami>n Ya Rabb al-AoA>lami>n.
