Buya Hamka was born in Sungai Batang, Tanjung Raya, Agam
Regency, West Sumatra, Dutch
East Indies on 17 February 1908 and died in Jakarta, Indonesia on 24 July 1981 at the age of 73 years. He was an Indonesian ulama, novelist, philosopher and political activist.
Before his education in formal schools,
Hamka lived with his grandmother in a house south of Maninjau. When he was six years
old he moved with his father to Padang Panjang, West Sumatera. Following common
tradition in Minang, as a child he studied the Quran and slept in a mosque
because Minang boys did not have a place to sleep in the family house. In the
mosque he studied the Quran and silek. While studying in Helmi Talib, he was
not considered as a smart child, he even often did not attend in a few days
because he felt bored and chose to seek knowledge in his own way. He preferred
to be in a library owned by his public teacher. In the library, he was free to
read a variety of books, even some he borrowed to be taken home. He was scolded
by his father when he was caught busy reading Kaba Cindua Mato. His father said, "Are you going to be
a pious person or become a storyteller?" At the same time, he was no
longer interested in completing education at Thawalib. After studying for four
years, he decided to get out of Thawalib. He came out without obtaining a
diploma. In those days after that, Hamka was taken to Parabek, about 5 km from
the Pengkalan Batu in 1922 to learn with Aiman Ibrahim Wong, but did not last long. He preferred to
follow his heart to seek knowledge and experience in his own way. He decided to
leave for Java. After a year in Java, in July 1925 Hamka was going back to Padang Panjang. Between the businesses of his activity in the field of Dawah through writing, he took speech in several places in Padang Panjang. But at that moment, everything is precisely sharply criticized by his father, "Speeches alone are useless, fill yourself with knowledge, then those speeches would be meaningful and useful." On the other hand, he did not get a good reception from the public. He was often derided as "uncertified Islam orator", even he had received criticism from some scholars because he did not master Arabic language well. Criticism he received in his native land, he made it as a whip to make him more mature.

Ali Akbar Navis (born in Padang Panjang, West Sumatra November 17, 1924 - died in Padang March 22, 2003 at 78 years of age) was a prominent Indonesian author, poet and humorist.
Navis showed signs of creativity from a young age. Before discovering his talents as a writer, he was an accomplished flautist and viola player. He was also a skilled painter. His skill as a writer led to his appointment on the Central Sumatra Cultural Committee from 1953–55, and his good English language skills meant he was often asked to assist foreign scholars studying Minangkabau culture.
Navis rose to prominence with the story Surau Kami in 1955, which was voted one of the three best stories of the year by the literary magazine, Kisah. The story was considered very brave in criticizing the pious who neglect the poor. His collection of short stories was released under the same title in 1956 and has been translated into English, German and Japanese.
Navis taught many other writers while producing his own short stories, novels, poetry, children’s stories, radio plays and essays on cultural and social problems. He wrote 22 books, plus five anthologies with other poets, and eight anthologies abroad. He also composed 106 papers for academic publishers and activities at home and abroad. They were later collected in the book A Walk Along the Way.
Between 1971-1982 Navis served as a member of his home province's house of representatives. He also served as President of the INS KayuTanam, an educational foundation. He was also concerned about the quality of national education, especially what he saw as the failure to read and write with open minds. Navis died after a long illness.
