Death of Imam Musa Projosiswoyo
With the deepest regret we announce the death of Imam Musa Projosiswoyo, a learned and dedicated member of the Jakarta Jama‘at, Indonesia. He passed away in Jakarta on 15th January 2005 and was buried in Solo, Java on the 16th. Imam Musa Projosiswoyo was born on 19 July 1942. His grandfather, R. Moeh Aspari, became a member of the Ahmadiyya Movement through Bro. HOS Tjokroaminoto, a staunch and devoted Ahmadi. He took the bai‘at by writing directly to the Central Ahmadiyya Anjuman in Lahore before the Ahmadiyya Anjuman in Indonesia was formed. His parents, Bro. R. Ng. Mohammed Koesban Prodjosiswojo and Asmini, also joined the Ahmadiyya Movement by letter. His parents established a book depot and organised the annual Jalsa every year before the Second World War. Bro. Imam Musa completed his Elementary and High school education in Surakarta from 1950 to 1961. He then went to Jakarta to do a Bachelor’s course in the Economic Faculty of the University. When he obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Economics, the country went through mass demonstration against the military rule of General Suharto. As Imam Musa was an active member of the Islamic Students Association (H.M.I), it became impossible for him to continue his studies at the University. He thus left the University and became an active member of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Anjuman, Indonesia, after he got married in 1970. He established a centre of the Lahore Ahmadiyya at IX/12 Kesehqtan, Jakarta. Weekly dars-i Qur’an and the annual Jalsa are held at this centre regularly. He also established the Darul Kutubil Islamiyyah Foundation with the active cooperation of Bro. H. Soetjipto and Dr. Bambang Dharmaputera to publish books, periodicals and booklets of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement. Most of the publications were Indonesian translations of the English books published by the Central Anjuman in Lahore. Some of the major publications are:
It also included publication of the monthly journal Studi Islam and the booklet Fathi Islam. He moved to Cimanggis 1987 to be near his office and residence. There he established the Darus Salaam Prosiswoyo Foundation in memory of his youngest daughter and his mother. At this foundation, he held dars-i Qur’an on weekends. He also managed to have a small library and book depot for books published from Yogyakarta and Jakarta. He performed Hajj in 1993. At the end of 1997, he retired from his job because of liver illness and returned to Jakarta. Here he continued holding dars-i Qur’an every third week and took an active part in organising Friday congregations and other meetings. He devoted most of his time to translating books and booklets published by the Central Ahmadiyya Anjuman in Lahore. The books already published are:
