520 |a This study examines how Aceh Darussalam Sultanate constructed the Pan-Islamism phenomenon through its struggle against the Dutch and how the Acehnese accumulated it as part of their local contention to bridge the idea of freedom from colonization. Furthermore, it also highlights the impact of the Acehnese acculturated Pan-Islamism to other Muslim societies in the region. The study applied qualitative research method that utilized not only secondary sources written by contemporary scholars but also analyzed the primary sources such as Basiret (a newspaper in Ottoman era), The Strait Times, (a newspaper in the straits settlements in Malaya), correspondences between the Sultanate and the Dutch, and reports of the colonial officers in the region. The study shows that, in order to defend itself from the growing power of the Dutch, the Aceh Darussalam Sultanate sent envoys to the Ottoman for military aid. To some extent, the delegation's activities in Istanbul contributed to the rising demands towards the Ottoman of their responsibility as Caliph towards other Muslim states. The weakness of the Ottoman before the European states, unfortunately, prevented any significant development in the resistance of the Acehnese towards the Dutch. On the contrary, this failed mission was responded with a further accumulation of Pan-Islamism into cultural forces where the unity between local contentions was evident in the union of all men, women and children to fight against the colonialism for almost four decades. This resulted in not only the increase of sympathy and help towards the Acehnese, but also triggered more resistance towards the Dutch in other parts of Indonesia. The struggle also created the inconsistency of military policy of the Dutch because each policy demanded more and more financial fulfillment, which resulted in the financial crisis of the colonial regime. The study shows that the Acehnese acculturated Pan-Islamism, to some extent, has derailed the ambitions of the colonial regimes in the Aceh region. The study also provides alternative contribution on the unfinished debate of Pan-Islamism in the Muslim world, particularly in the Southeast Asian region.
