A Brief History

Sayid Wijaya

A Brief History of the Establishment of STAIN Jurai Siwo Metro

The existence of STAIN Jurai Siwo Metro is inseparable with the history of IAIN Raden Intan Bandar Lampung. Referring to the data which could be traced, apparently the existence of IAIN Raden Intan Bandar Lampung began from the effort of elite and religion figures that were joined together in Yayasan Kesejahteraan Islam Lampung (YKIL) which was established in 1961 in Tanjung Karang and lead by Raden Muhammad Sayid.
In the discussion which was conducted by elite and religious figures, it was dealt to find two faculties, Tarbiyah and Syari’ah faculty, which were domiciles in Tanjung Karang, under shelter and responsibility of Yayasan Kesejahteraan Islam Lampung (YKIL).
Through the persistent struggle of Yayasan Kesejahteraan Islam Lampung (YKIL), it was released the Decree from Minister of Religious Affair RI No. 86/1964 on 13 October 1964, which its content was to change the status of Tarbiyah Faculty from private to state, yet it was not self-supporting but rather as the branch of Tarbiyah Faculty IAIN Raden Fatah Palembang.
In 1967, the Tarbiyah and Syari’ah Faculty were established in Metro by the request of Metro Society, Lampung Tengah, to YKIL. Moreover, by the agreement of the dean of Tarbiyah Faculty IAIN Raden Fatah Palembang in Tanjung Karang, Tarbiyah Faculty in Metro was transformed into a long-distance class of Tarbiyah Faculty IAIN Raden Fatah Palembang in Tanjung Karang.
Before both faculties were opened in Metro, by referring to the decision of President of Indonesia No. 27, 1963 which explained that to found Al Jami’ah, at least, it should have three faculties. For that reason, Yayasan Kesejahteraan Islam Lampung opened Ushuludin Faculty that is domicile in Tanjung Karang in 1965. Thus, Yayasan Kesejahteraan Islam Lampung (YKIL) brought up three faculties as the preparation to found Government Institute for Islamic Studies (IAIN) in Lampung.
Considering that Yayasan Kesejahteraan Islam Lampung (YKIL) had wide function, compensation and construction toward the existing faculties were felt very less. Hence, it was formed a special institute which was named Yayasan Perguruan Tinggi Islam Lampung (Yaperti) in 1965.
This institute runs on August 27, 1966, with the Certificate No. 12. The official members were listed as follows:
Chief                                    : K. H. Zakaria Nawawi
Secretary                  : Rafi’un Rafdli
Secretary                  : R. H. A. Basyid
and assisted by some members.
Therefore, Yaperti was specially organized to think and relieve Tarbiyah, Syari’ah, and Ushuludin Faculty as the preparation to found IAIN in Lampung.
As an effort to realize the founding of IAIN Al Jami’ah in Lampung, the first step was to make state-owned all Faculties which were still in private status at that time. Therefore, Yayasan Perguruan Tinggi Islam Lampung (Yaperti) formed a state-owned committee maker and penjami’ahan committee at once which wee officially ratified by Minister of Religious Affairs RI through the Decree No. 162/67 on December 16, 1967 with the following personnel:
Chief            : H. Zainal Abidin Pagar Alam
                       (Regional Leader Governor Level I in Lampung)
Secretary      : R. H. A. Basyid
Secretary      : Muhtar Hasan. SH (Sekda Level I in lLampung)
Exchequer    : H. Zakaria Nawawi.
Finally, through the persistent struggle and knowing no fatigue, it realized the dream of Lampung society to found IAIN Al’jami’ah based on the Decree of Minister of Religious Affair of RI No. 187/68 which was named “Institute Agama Islam Negeri Al Jami’ah Al Islamiah Al Humiah Raden Intan Lampung” together with the making state-owned Syari’ah and Ushuludin Faculty in Tanjung Karang and Tarbiyah Faculty in Metro.
Then, after IAIN Raden Intan Lampung was officially opened, the long distance class of Tarbiyah Faculty in Metro Lampung Tengah was decided to be a self-supporting Tarbiyah Faculty as Tarbiyah Faculty IAIN Raden Intan Lampung in Metro through the Decree of Minister of Religious Affair No. 188, 1968.
In 1993, the Minister of Religious Affair RI released the Decree No. 397, 1993 about Organization and Administration of IAIN Raden Intan and the Decree of Minister of Religious Affair RI No. 411, 1993 about STATUTA of IAIN. Moreover, based on the change of the name of capital province of Lampung from Tanjung Karang to Bandar Lampung, IAIN Raden Intan Tanjung Karang was also changed to IAIN Raden Intan Bandar Lampung, and this change was attached in STATUTA IAIN.
It was not far from the change of name IAIN Raden Intan Tanjung Karang to IAIN Raden Intan Bandar Lampung that it went out a handbill of Director General of Bimas Islam No. E.III/OT.00/AZ/1804/1996 on August 21, 1996 about Settlement of Institutional Faculties IAIN outside central institute to be Sekolah Tinggi Agama Islam Negeri (STAIN).
By referring to that handbill, the whole principal elements of Tarbiyah Faculty IAIN Raden Intan Bandar Lampung in Metro drew up everything which were related to the Functional Settlement and it, then, was sent to Department of Religious Affair RI in Jakarta with the letter of introduction from the chief of Bureau on behalf of Rector IAIN Raden Intan.
As the continuation of the handbill of Director General of Bimas Islam No.E.III/OT.00/AZ/1804/1996, it was performed a working meeting (raker) of Rectors and Deans of faculties outside central institute on April 23 to 25, 1997 in Jakarta. In that chance, it was given a Decree of President RI No. 11, 1997 on March 21, 1997 about the Changing and Ratifying Faculties outside central institute to be Sekolah Tinggi Agama Islam Negeri (STAIN).
In line with the ratification of founding STAIN, hence, each STAIN was asked for giving name which was its special characteristic in its domiciling region. To fulfill such stipulation, Dean of Tarbiyah Faculty Metro IAIN Raden Intan Bandar Lampung consulted with the Regent of Regional Leader TK. II Lampung Tengah                        (Drs. Herman Sanusi) to decide the name of STAIN Metro. Based on the Regent of Regional Leader TK. II Lampung Tengah suggestion, further, Drs. Zakaria Zakir as the Dean consulted to the figures of Metro society to ask for suggestion about the name of STAIN Metro, including DPRD TK. II Lampung Tengah, which yield five names want to be. They are:
1.STAIN Raden Imba Kusuma
2.STAIN Lampung
3.STAIN Jurai Siwo
4.STAIN A. Yasin
5.STAIN Sosrosudarmo

On May 8, 1997, exactly in 1 Muharam 1428 H, Drs. Zakaria Zakir, as the Dean, conveyed the result to the figures and the regent of Regional Leader TK. II Lampung Tengah the five names of STAIN Metro want to be.
Based on the suggestion, point of view, and instruction from the regent of Regional Leader, in essence to consider that STAIN was domiciling in Lampung Tengah while Lampung Tengah resident had tradition and culture which came from nine clans (marg/turunan) known well by the society at large as “Jurai Siwo”, it seemed that “Jurai Siwo” could be used as the name of STAIN Metro.
Furthermore, the result of that consultancy was conveyed to the Rector of IAIN Raden Intan Bandar Lampung. It was directly blessed by him. Then, on May 20, 1997, there was a meeting between Drs. Zakaria Zakir as the Dean and Nurdin Indrapati, SH as Punyimbang of Lampung Tengah custom to obtain permission and blessing form the elite figures (Punyimbang) Lampung Tengah that “Jurai Siwo” would be eternalized as the name of STAIN Metro. Alhamdulillah that was blessed.
That was all the short history about naming STAIN Metro to be STAIN Jurai Siwo Metro, singed by:
1.     Regent of Ka. Area of TK.II Lampung Tengah: Drs. Herman Sanusi
2.     Chief of DPRD TK. II Lampung Tengah : Letkol Inf. Kusno
3.     Rector of IAIN Raden Intan of Bandar Lampung : Drs. H.M. Ghozi Badris
4.     Chief Custom of Penyimbang Lampung Tengah : Nurdin Indrapati, SH
5.     Dean of FTM IAIN Raden Intan of Bandar Lampung: Drs. Zakaria Zakir.
As the consideration of the Decree of President No. 11, 1997 on March 21, 1997 about the change and authentication of Faculty outside central institute to be STAIN, hence, on June 30, 1997, 33 STAINs all over Indonesia were ratified by Minister of Religious Affair RI all at once in Jakarta, whereas each newly temporary ratified principal of STAIN was the leader of the faculty before it was converted to STAIN with the changing of “Dean” into “Pejabat Sementara Ketua”.
Moreover, in September 4, 1997, STAIN Jurai Siwo Metro which was Tarbiyah Faculty Metro IAIN Raden Intan Bandar Lampung was peculiarly handed over by Rector of IAIN Raden Intan Bandar Lampung to the functionary of the temporary principal of STAIN.
