Saalah Yusuf Sutan Mangkuto, often written as S.Y. Sutan Mangkuto (1901– February 1974), was an organizer and activist of Muhammadiyah. He was the founder of the Muhammadiyah branch in Padang Panjang in 1926[1][2] and once served as the Chairman of the Muhammadiyah Leadership in Central Sumatra from 1949 to 1956.
Born in Pitalah in 1901, Saalah joined Muhammadiyah from a young age. Before joining the Muhammadiyah movement, he worked as a lawyer and political advisor.[3] After independence, he became active in politics. He was a leader of the 3 March affair in 1947 and was elected as a member of the House of Representatives in the 1955 general election.[4] However, his role faded from public view after he supported the Revolutionary Government of the Republic of Indonesia (PRRI) in 1958.
Saalah Yusuf Sutan Mangkuto was born in Nagari Pitalah, Tanah Datar, in 1901. He was the son of a Naqshbandi Sufi order leader. He completed his formal education in 1917 but continued to pursue religious studies.[5]
