Said Tuhulele Floating Health Clinic

In 2017 LazisMu (Institution of Zakat, Infaq, and Shadaqah Muhammadiyah) released the Said Tuhuleley Floating Health Clinic which functions to serve people who have not been reached by primary health services, in the Maluku Islands.

The Said Tuhuleley Floating Health Clinic was inaugurated by President Joko Widodo at the opening of Tanwir Muhammadiyah at the Islamic Center Pier in Ambon, Ambon City. LazisMu Corporate Relationship Director, Edi Surya explained that the Floating Health Clinic was created, in addition to treating the sick, but also to improve public health understanding on remote islands. "So that they understand more about healthy living," he said.

The establishment of the Said Tuhulele Floating Health Clinic was based on the struggle of Said Tuhuleley, who was known as a marginalized fighter activist and Muhammadiyah philanthropist. According to Amien, Said Tuhuleley's focus and concern is how to help the poor and mustadhafin so they can live a normal life, leaving a life that is still in the sub-human stage or not yet human enough.

Meanwhile, Bambang Cipto described Said Tuhuleley as a person who succeeded in making a very valuable breakthrough and deserves to be followed. According to Buya Syafii Maarif, Said Tuhuleley was a true defender of the poor and a pioneer of the third pillar of the Muhammadiyah movement.

Get to know Said Tuhulele

Said Tuhuleley was born on May 22, 1953 in Kulur Village, Saparua District, Central Maluku Regency, Maluku Province. He comes from a devout santri family. His father's name is Abdullah and his mother's name is Aminah.

Citing the book Jejak Langkah Said Tuhuleley, in the 1970s Said Tuhuleley already held a bachelor diploma. Then he decided to migrate to the island of Java with his friends to continue his education at Yogyakarta State IKIP which is now called Yogyakarta State University (UNY) and is active in the Islamic Student Association (HMI) organization.

In 1982, Said graduated from the Yogyakarta State IKIP and began his career as an honorary teacher at a private high school in the city of Solo. However, at the end of the school quarter Said resigned.

After that, Said was then active in carrying out his da'wah activities in various lines. At the peak of his success, Said was awarded the title of Doctor Honoris Causa (HC) in the field of community empowerment from the University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM) on December 19, 2014.

Said Tuhuleley was then invited by Amien Rais to UMY to participate in strengthening the Institute for Research, Publication and Community Service, University of Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (LP3M UMY). He served as commander of the Publishing Division at LP3M UMY and became a permanent lecturer at the Faculty of Engineering (FT UMY). Said Tuhulele also briefly served as Assistant Dean III for Student Affairs at the Faculty of Engineering. A few years later he was transferred to become a permanent lecturer at the Faculty of Islamic Religion (FAI UMY).

Said Tuhuleley had the opportunity to work at PP Muhammadiyah for 20 years in the position of activity operator, manager and consultant. In 2005, he was finally trusted to be the chairman of the Community Empowerment Council (MPM) for two periods (2005-2010 and 2015).

Said Tuhuleley visited several areas in Eastern Indonesia in the context of the task of empowering the people. Said Tuhulele had experienced a decline in his health condition and until finally he died on June 9, 2015 at the age of 62 years. Said Tuhulele was buried at the burial site of Muhammadiyah figures, to be precise at the Karangkajen village cemetery, Mergangsan, Yogyakarta.

When Said Tuhuleley died, Prof. Din Syamsuddin said "Said's departure is a loss for the Persyarikatan Muhammadiyah and the Indonesian nation. Said is a proselytizing mujahid who has devoted most of his life to da'wah for the empowerment and advancement of society".

Said Tuhulele's legacy

Muhammadiyah residents are enjoying the results of their hard work in community empowerment through the MPM they lead. "I hope there will be a new Said Tuhuleley-Said Tuhuleley who will continue the jihad of enlightenment of the deceased," wrote Din.

As an intellectual, Said Tuhuleley has written many books, including Masa Depan Kemanusiaan (2003), Pendidikan: Kemerdekaan Diri, dan Hak Si Miskin untuk Bersekolah (2005), Permasalahan abad XXI: sebuah agenda: kumpulan karangan (1993), and a book entitled Profile Anggota Muhammadiyah.

A sentence that Said Tuhulele often used on various occasions, namely as long as the people are still suffering, there is no rest. This sentence can be a reminder for the younger generation. In the midst of an affluent life, there are still people who have not reached the word "enough" and even "established" in living their lives. They need sincere helping hands who have more energy to fight for them.
