Publisher : IAEME Publication Year of Publication : 2020 Summary : Obviously, Tok Ku Paloh plays a role in uniting the Pahang fighters in the Pahang rebellion, especially in the second series of the struggle. His character as a great and renowned scholar gives an impact which is beyond the reach of mind because his role, his point of view as well as his support are extremely needed by the society in Terengganu and the surrounding states. Teaching and writing had helped strengthen the content of the Islamic knowledge amongst the residents and the Muslim society at that time. The Pahang fighters were no exception due to the teachings carried out by him and his writings which centralised around the issues of anti- colonialism. As a result, they were united and had no fear in facing the enemies. The writers believe that these two aspects; teachings and writings were the first two aspects successfully achieved by Tok Ku Paloh before uniting them with the call of Jihad Sabil in the second series of the struggle.

Abstract :

The revolt of Pahang at the end of 19th century succeeded in featuring two series of struggle between the British colonisers and the Pahang fighters. One of the series shows that there is a role of religion which displays the major role of a Malay Muslim scholar. He is Tok Ku Paloh who can be seen managing and uniting all the fighters while evoking the spirit of Jihad at the second series of the fight. This writing, therefore, will examine the actual role played by this well-known figure. It will use the methods of literature review and content analysis. Through these methods, it was found that Tok Ku Paloh employed the methods of teachings and writings as one of the forms of Jihad in injecting and instilling as well as strengthening the religious belief amongst the Pahang fighters. Once the religious belief had been strengthened and appreciated, he then shouted the slogan of Jihad Sabil at the second series of the struggle. This managed to unite the fighters in fighting against their enemies as well as driving out the British colonisers from continuing to colonise Pahang.
