Abuya Kyai Hajji Uci Turtusi bin Dimyati, better known as Abuya Uci (died April 6, 2021[2]), was an influential Indonesian Muslim cleric and preacher from Banten. Uci was the leader of the Pondok Pesantren Salafiyah Al-Istiqlaliyah Cilongok (Al-Istiqlaliyah Cilongok Islamic Boarding School or Pesantren Cilongok) who succeeded his father, Abuya Dimyati bin Romli, who died in early 2001.[1] The Pesantren was founded in 1957 by Abuya Dimyati, an influential cleric in the Tangerang Regency.[3]

Uci was known as a cleric who was close to former Indonesian President Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur),[4] he often mentioned Gus Dur's name in each of his religious lectures when discussing the essence of Islam and often told some of his privileges as a Muslim cleric who became president. In addition, Uci is also known to be close to another influential Indonesian Muslim cleric such as Habib Muhammad Luthfi bin Yahya.[5]

Uci was a spiritual teacher for incumbent Banten governor, Wahidin Halim.[6] He was one of the figures who supported Wahidin Halim and Andika Hazrumy to be the governor and deputy governor of Banten for the 2017–2022 period in 2017 Banten gubernatorial election.
