On the other side, Islam political thought has been seemed as the doctrine came from Indonesia traditional heritages. These view was rejected by H.O.S. Tjokroaminoto who argues that socialism has been established and flourished in
the Islamic tradition before it was developed in the West. This article tries to describe H.O.S. Tjokroaminoto’s political thought about Islamic socialism which was constructed in the Islamic tradition rooted from Al-Quran and As-Sunnah.
