Concerning Ulama
News Analysis

Concerning Ulama

For an ulama, knowledge constitutes one of inevitable characters that should be possessed. That is why the ulama is regarded as a scholar (educated) though it is not a “fixed price” (the only one) meaning. He needs to prove his profound spirituality in daily life as a realization of his moral integrity. In fact, dealing with the scarcely ulama coming into existence, the raising question is not on how to produce ulama, but there is such effort to redefine the term of ulama itself. This is in turn categorized as such a competence. Thus, what so called as ulama is those whose a competence in any disciplines such as economy, math, biology, and so forth. Ulama  etymologically means those whose knowledge, but terminologically it does not. For that reason ulama is not the same as scholar. Ulamas some of the time reserve the right to fulfill the academic degree as scholars, and the other way the scholars also have the degree as ulama. What is important to note is that both of them are absolutely not the same. They have their own “chapter” and “paragraph” as well.
