The Muslim Students' Association (Indonesian: Himpunan Mahasiswa Islam, lit. 'Islamic Students' Association', abbreviated as HMI) is an Indonesian Muslim student organization. HMI is an independent organization with the objective of "connecting academics, creators – servants of Islam, and taking responsibility for creating a just people blessed by Allah".

History

HMI was founded in Yogyakarta on 5 February 1947 at the initiative of Lafran Pane with 14 students from the Institute of Islam in Yogyakarta (Indonesian: Sekolah Tinggi Islam Yogyakarta),[1] currently Indonesian Islamic University.

Organizational structure

HMI operates through a multi-tier organizational hierarchy designed to coordinate student activities from the national level down to individual campuses.

National leadership

At the national level, the organization is led by the Pengurus Besar (PB) HMI, which functions as the central governing body. The PB coordinates policies, national programs, and organizational direction.[2]

Regional coordination

Below the national leadership are Badan Koordinasi (BADKO) units, which manage coordination across several provinces or regional clusters.[2]

Branch level

At the city or regency level, HMI operates through Pengurus Cabang (PC), commonly referred to as HMI Cabang. These branches coordinate activities across universities within a specific geographic area.[2]
