The phenomenon of election of the President of Indonesia in 2019 has brought the chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) Ma'ruf Amin stepped forward as vice president in pairs with Joko Widodo (Jokowi). With the pros and cons during his nomination process up to the stage of presidential election results for the 2019-2024 period, it is interesting to study in the context of the role of ulema in political arena. Amin has the background of Nahdatul Ulama which is accommodating with practical political power and even willing to participate in the election as vice president who was carried out by a coalition of Islamic nationalist and secular parties. On the contrary, Hamka as the first chairman of MUI from 1975-1981 had a Muhammadiyah background and was not even reluctant to go against when democratic principles and religious values were ignored by political power regimes. Hamka experienced a number of political incidents, including accusations of treason, which led to imprisonment without trial in the Old Order, and resigned from the position of MUI chairman due to the case of Christmas joint-celebration in the New Order period. Hamka as a cleric held the view that politics is part of worship when it is intended to benefit the people and seek the pleasure of Allah SWT. Based on this phenomenon, this study proposes the research question, "What is the view of Hamka about the relationship between Ulema and Politics in Indonesia?".
