    Throughout much of the twentieth century, Indonesian Sufi traditions were subject to a dual marginalizanon.

Not only did they seek to expunge local accretions to the pure faith of the Prophet Muhammad, as so many reformers had done in the past, but they sought to reopen Islam's canonical texts, the Qur'an and Hadith, to new interpretations (jjtihad) unprecedented in scope. Teir goal was to free the faith of archaisms and release its potential for spiritual leadership in the modem world.
