Source-derived summary

K.H. Fathurrahman Kafrawi (1901–1969) was the Minister of Religion in Indonesia from 1946 to 1947. He was with Abdul Kahar Muzakkir also instrumental in establishing the College of Islamic and turned it into Islamic University of Indonesia, UIN Sunan Kalidjaga Yogyakarta, and UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Fathurrahman Kafrawi” as indonesian politician. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Fathurrahman, Kafrawi and Indonesian.

Editorial reviewA useful biographical orientation record, particularly for establishing names, roles and a first chronology. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1901, 1969, 1946, 1947—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1901-01-01. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Fathurrahman, Kafrawi and Indonesian providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Fathurrahman Kafrawi”, the useful work is to connect “indonesian politician” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q12482809. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1901, 1969, 1946 and 1947.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
