The Malays use many types of medical techniques for the purpose of treating and curing illnesses and diseases caused by non-spiritual or spiritual elements. It is important to note that there are some spiritual techniques used in traditional Malay healing that follow certain beliefs and contain components which contradict the Islamic SharÊÑah. This research attempts to discuss and examine the practices and types of traditional Malay healing and their compatibility with the Islamic point of view.

Traditional notions of sickness etiology are set in the context of both Christian beliefs and the state's efforts to promulgate modem, 'scientific' understandings, in order to show how sociologically distinguished individuals draw variously at different times and contexts on all three fields of sickness interpretation and management. The thesis begins with a history of Nias relations with the outside world, in order to delineate the genealogy of modem Indonesian attitudes to local culture.

The State: Contesting the Liberal State (Empirical Research, Case Studies Results, WP4) WP4 Team Members INTRODUDUCTION WP4 takes as its starting point the fact that the liberal/illiberal character of the state has been and remains one central dimension of ideological and political contestation across Southeast Asia. Yet the “fates of political liberalism” (Halliday, Karpik, Feeley, eds, 2012) in Southeast Asia have been far less well studied, understood, and theorized than many other processes of political change, such as democratization and de-democratization. Seeking to partially redress this imbalance, the research conducted within this WP has therefore chosen “the liberal state and its discontents in Southeast Asia” as its overarching thematic focus.

    M. bin Osman Patterns of supernatural premises underlying the institution of the Bomoh in Malay culture In: Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde 128 (1972), no: 2/3, Leiden, 219-234 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl Downloaded from Brill.com09/25/2021 12:30:31AM via free access PATTERNS OF SUPERNATURAL PREMISES UNDERLYING THE INSTITUTION OF THE BOMOH IN MALAY CULTURE he heterogeneity of traditions which make up the culture of the Peninsular Malays and the complexity of the total fabric of Tthe culture woven from strands of diverse civilizations past and present have drawn the attention of many scholars of Malay society and culture. Scholars of Sir Richard Winstedt's generaition have tackled these phe- nomena mainly from the historical point of view, providing historical backgrounds and origins to the different component elements which make up the present-day culture of the Malays. It is important to know the nature of the historical background to the culture, for much of the present has to be explained in terms of the past. But equally important is to explain how and to what extent the different traditions are in- tegrated meaningfully or otherwise within the framework of an on-going cultural system. A number of recent scholars have addressed them- selves to this question either sp>ecifically or tangentially. Anthropological studies on single Malay communities would have to touch on this sort of problem, especially where it concerns beliefs, customs and social values. Robert J. Wolff, in an article on the acceptance of modern medicine in rural Malay society, compares the different traditions in Malay culture with a cupboard, usually found in wealthier Malay homes, which exhibits an array of odds and ends.

  • In Indonesia a History of Islam
    A HISTORY OF ISLAMA HISTORY IN INDONESIA ‘Elegantly written, carefully crafted, and solidly grounded in scholarly sources and debates, this book provides an excellent synthetic account of the history of Islam in Indonesia. Carool Kersten’s erudition, astute and judicious readings of the specialist literature, and his skills as a writer are all in ample evidence in this magisterial survey.’ John T. Sidel, London School of Economics and Political Science Explores the history of Islam in the largest Muslim nation state in the world Located on the eastern periphery of the historical Muslim world, as a political entity Indonesia is barely a century old. Yet with close to a quarter of a billion followers of Islam, it is now the largest and most populous Muslim country in the world. As the greatest political power in Southeast Asia, and a growing player on the world scene, Indonesia presents itself as a bridge country between Asia, the wider Muslim world and the West. In this survey Carool Kersten presents the Islamisation of Indonesia from the first evidence of the acceptance of Islam by indigenous peoples in the late thirteenth century until the present day. He provides comprehensive insight into the different roles played by Islam in Indonesia throughout history, including the importance of Indian Ocean networks for connecting Indonesians with the wider Islamic world, the religion’s role as a means of resistance and tool for nation-building, and postcolonial attempts to forge an ‘Indonesian Islam’.

  • Reincarnation in Buddhism: an Analysis from Islamic Perspective
    REINCARNATION IN BUDDHISM: AN ANALYSIS FROM ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE SHEIKHA SAIDAH BINTE MOHAMAD NAJEEB JARHOM DEPARTMENT OF ‘AQIDAH AND ISLAMIC THOUGHT ACADEMY OF ISLAMIC STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA KUALA LUMPUR 2014 REINCARNATION IN BUDDHISM: AN ANALYSIS FROM ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE SHEIKHA SAIDAH BINTE MOHAMAD NAJEEB JARHOM DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF USULUDDIN DEPARTMENT OF ‘AQIDAH AND ISLAMIC THOUGHT ACADEMY OF ISLAMIC STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA KUALA LUMPUR 2014 ABSTRACT Belief in the concept of reincarnation is a sign of true faith among the Buddhists. A Buddhist has to follow the Four Noble Truth and the Eightfold Path in order to achieve enlightenment which is nirvana. They believe in the rebirth of the soul from the last breath to the liberation of soul which entwines the journey of life from death to karma, to rebirth and finally achieving nirvana. Worshippers of Islam on the other hand have to follow the six Pillars of Faith, the five Pillars of Islam and ihsan which is to do good things in life. They believe in resurrection on the day of Judgement. On this day, Muslims after death will be awaken in the frontiers of barzakh and be judged and placed appropriately in either paradise or hell as promised in the holy Qur’an. By collecting data using documentary method which applied to library materials, the researcher has found that there are still a number of Muslims who were influenced by the traditional beliefs of animism, Hinduism and Buddhism. This is because the Malays were Hindus and Buddhists long before they became Muslim.
