Abstract
<em>Hamka was a contemporary Indonesian Islamic figure who was involved in many fields. He wrote hundreds of books on various topics of study, philosophy, interpretation, history, customs and culture, literature, and others. When mentioning the name Hamka, then he was an ulama, while his roles in other fields are a little blurred. One of them is a depiction of the figure of Hamka as a historian. Some researchers recognize and acknowledge it as part of a historical researcher, some even study his historical philosophy, while for others give the view that he is not a historian. There are several characteristics and types of historians themselves, including professional historians, historians of other fields, and amateur historians or so-called community historians. The purpose of this paper is to uncover the methods employed by Hamka in writing his historical-themed works by looking at the intellectual socio-historical life. Through this study, it can be concluded that Hamka is included in the class of community historians because there is no formal academic history in his study. However, the various steps he went through in the writing process and his teaching experience are proof that Hamka is a historian.</em><strong><em> </em></strong>

Summary
PENDAHULUAN Puncak intelektualisme di Minangkabau berlangsung pada paruh pertama abad 20. Ia menyebutkan bahwa dalam berbagai tulisannya seputar sufi, Hamka selalu memulai dengan perjalanan sejarah dari sufi atau tarekat itu sendiri.[5]. Namun tradisi di Indonesia sama sekali berbeda, yang mana seorang sejarawan adalah mereka yang mengajar dan mengenyam pendidikan formal di bidang ini.[6] Karya-karya berupa tulisan-tulisan sejarah yang terbilang cukup banyak dan dijadikan sebagai referensi, serta ketertarikannya yang sangat kuat terhadap sejarah adalah alasan untuk menyebut Hamka sebagai salah seorang sejarawan sekaligus tokoh sejarah di Indonesia. Kuntowijoyo sebagai seorang sejarawan Indonesia kemudian membuat klasifikasi sejarawan ke dalam beberapa kategori: pertama, sejarawan profesional adalah mereka yang berasal dari lulusan sejarah.[9] Kedua, sejarawan dari disiplin lain adalah para ahli dari disiplin-disiplin ilmu selain sejarah yang menuliskan peristiwa-peristiwa penting di masa lalu dari bidang keilmuannya, maka jadilah tulisannya tersebut sebagai sebuah karya sejarah. Adapun metode yang digunakan untuk menjabarkan sisi seorang sejarawanan Hamka adalah dengan model deskriptif-analitis melalui sosio-historis, guna menemukan lebih jauh proses perubahan dan pemahaman intelektualnya
