Sinopsis:
Dituliskan kembali oleh: Dewi Sulistya WatiHamka was not only a great religious scholar, but also a writer, thinker, and quiet fighter who dared to challenge his time. Born in Padang Panjang, he grew up amid the clash of traditions and a search for meaning. From a young age, he boldly resisted rigid systems, traveled to Mecca to study, and wrote as a form of resistance against narrow-mindedness. Ironically, Hamka’s greatest work, Tafsir Al-Azhar, was born behind prison bars. Falsely accused by a regime afraid of his thoughts, he chose not to seek revenge. With pieces of pencil and scraps of paper, he wrote a Quranic commentary that was not only profound in knowledge but also filled with patience and perseverance. In limitation, Hamka showed that faith and the written word could defeat injustice. Until the end of his life, Hamka remained a clear and calm voice amid the noise of politics and power. He chose the path of peace, forgiveness, and tireless writing for the sake of his people and nation. His life story proves that true strength does not always come from grand stages, but from a steadfast heart and a free mind.
