Jong Islamieten Bond (JIB) or Islamic youth association was a youth organization during Dutch East Indies ruling established in Jakarta on January 1, 1925. The organization was established by Indonesian young students with the first goal to provide courses on Islam to Muslim students to engage the sense of brotherhood amongst the educated Muslim youth from different regions of the archipelago who were previously members of local associations, such as Jong Java (March 7, 1915), Jong Sumatra (December 9, 1917), and others.[1]

JIB was not a political organization. The first elected chairman at the first JIB Congress in 1925 in Yogyakarta, Samsurijal, when giving the speech said, "In the courses, lectures and debates which we hold, we try as far as possible to enhance the understanding of religion and politics especially from the point of Islam to members, but JIB but will not join any political activities". The composition of the first Executive Committee of the newly created JIB were: Raden Samsurijal (chairman); Wibowo Purbohadidjojo (vice chairman); Syahbuddin Latif (Secretary I); Hoesin (secretary II), Soetijono (treasurer I); and So'eb (treasurer II). The Commissioners were Moegni, Thoib, Soewardi, Shamsuddin, Soetan Palindih, Kasman Singodimedjo, Mohammad Koesban, Soegeng, and Haji Hashim.

In each branch, JIB held Islamic religious courses. In October 1931 JIB built a HIS (Hollandsch Inlandsche School) school, an elementary school for higher class indigenous children in Tegal and in November 1931 another HIS school was built in Batavia.[2]
