Sejarah perkembangan dan penyebaran Islam di ‘’tanah para jawara’’ itu tak lepas dari pengaruh Kesultanan Banten. Islam telah masuk di Banten sekitar tahun 1524-1525, semasa Banten masih di bawah pemerintahan Kerajaan Sunda yang dipimpin Prabu Pucuk Umun dan anaknya yang bernama Prabu Seda. Adalah Syarif Hidayatullah atau Sunan Gunung Jati yang menyebarkan Islam di wilayah barat pulau Jawa itu. Syarif Hidayatullah bahkan sempat menjadi penguasa Islam pertama di Banten. Namun, ia tak mengangkat dirinya sebagai sultan. Tahta kesultanan itu diamanahkan kepada putranya yang bernama Maulana Hasanuddin. Oleh Kesultanan Demak dan Cirebon, Maulana Hasanuddin ditugaskan untuk mengislamkan bagian barat Pulau Jawa, tepatnya Banten. Kerajaan Banten bercorak Islam didirikan karena Kesultanan Cirebon mendengar informasi adanya perjanjian antara Portugis dengan Kerajaan Padjajaran yang berencana membangun benteng di Sunda Kelapa (Jakarta). Konon, Portugis dan Padjajaran berniat untuk menghambat penyebaran Islam di bagian barat Pulau Jawa. Kala itu, Padjajaran merupakan satu-satunya kerajaan Hindu yang masih eksis di Pulau Jawa. Para wali mengegelar perundingan dan memutuskan untuk menguasai Banten terlebih dahulu. Sebab, Banten merupakan pintu gerbang untuk masuk ke Jawa Barat. Pada 1525 M, pasukan gabungan dari Kesultanan Demak dan Cirebon bersama laskar-marinir yang dipimpin Maulana Hasanuddin menyerbu Kadipaten Banten Girang yang bercorak Hindu. Pasukan gabungan itu tidak mengalami kesulitan dalam menguasai Banten. Pasukan gabungan berhasil mengalahkan Prabu Pucuk Umun sebagai adipati Banten Girang, 1 / 3 Kabartangsel.com Berbagi Kabar Tentang Tangerang Selatan http://kabartangsel.com kala itu. Pada 1526, Maulana Hasanuddin berhasil merebut Banten dari Padjajaran. ‘’Secara strategi perang, Padjajaran memang kalah oleh Demak dan Cirebon, sehingga Syarif Hidayatullah berani menempatkan anaknya, Maulana Hasanuddin di Banten,’’ ujar Mufti Ali, sejarawan dari Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin. Setelah penaklukan tersebut, pada 1526 lahirlah Kadipaten Banten yang bercorak Islam dibawah naungan Demak dan Cirebon. Maulana Hasanuddin dinobatkan sebagai adipatinya. Pada tahun yang sama, Maulana Hasanuddin menikah dengan Nyi Ratu Ayu Kirana, putri mahkota Sultan Trenggana (Demak III). Saat itu usia Hasanuddin masih 26 tahun. Semenjak Banten Girang berhasil dikalahkan oleh penguasa Islam, terjadilah peralihan kekuasaan. Kekuasaan Islam bertambah jaya ketika pusat Kesultanan Banten dipindah ke Banten Lama yang terletak di kawasan pesisir pantai utara Pulau Jawa bagian barat. Pemindahan ini merupakan suatu pilihan penting untuk mengembangkan perdagangan, sehingga bandar Banten di pesisir yang berfungsi pusat politik maupun ekonomi berkembang dengan pesat. Pemindahan kota pusat kerajaan itu dimaksudkan untuk memudahkan hubungan antara pesisir utara pulau Jawa dengan pesisir Sumatera bagian barat melalui Selat Sunda dan Samudera Indonesia. Maulana Hasanuddin pun mulai membangun kota Banten sebagai negara-kota (city-state), sekaligus sebagai kota bandar (harbour city). Tata letak keraton, alun-alun, masjid, pasar, dan jaringan jalan menunjukkan pola morfologi kota yang hampir sama dengan kota-kota Islam lainnya di Jawa, seperti Cirebon dan Demak. Benteng pertahanan pun mulai dibangun di sekeliling negara kota itu. Penduduk yang terkonsentasi di kota Benteng tersebut pada saat itu berjumlah sekitar 70 ribu jiwa. Maulana Hasanuddin kemudian mengkonsolidasi pasukan dan mendeklarasikan Banten sebagai kesultanan independen dari Demak. Sehingga pada 1552, lahirlah Kesultanan Banten. Maulana Hasanuddin diangkat sebagai Sultan Banten. Ia memerintah selama 18 tahun (1552-1570). Kota Surosowan (Banten Lor) pun didirikan sebagai ibu kota Kesultanan Banten. Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin adalah raja sekaligus pemuka agama. Ia memberikan andil yang sangat besar dalam meletakkan fondasi Islam di Nusantara sebagai salah seorang pendiri Kesultanan Banten. Hal ini telah dibuktikan dengan kehadiran bangunan peribadatan berupa masjid dan sarana pendidikan Islam, seperti pesantren. ‘’Ia juga mengirim mubalig ke berbagai daerah yang telah dikuasainya,’’ tutur Mufti. Sebagai sultan pertama, Maulana Hasanuddin membangun insfrastruktur perkotaan Islam modern, antara lain membangun Keraton Surosowan sebagai pusat pemerintah, membangun Masjid Agung Banten sebagai pusat peribadatan, membangun alun-alun sebagai pusat informasi dan berkomunikasi dengan rakyatnya. Yang tak kalah pentingnya, ia juga membangun Pelabuhan Karangantu sebagai pelabuhan 2 / 3 Kabartangsel.com Berbagi Kabar Tentang Tangerang Selatan http://kabartangsel.com internasional yang menghantarkan Banten sebagai kesultanan dengan pelabuhan terkuat di Nusantara. Pesatnya aktivitas niaga yang berlangsung di berbagai bandar tersebut, terutama di Sunda Kelapa dan Banten tidak terlepas dari pengaruh jatuhnya Malaka ke tangan Portugis pada 1511. Pedagang-pedagang Islam yang semula berdatangan ke Malaka, mulai enggan berhubungan dengan pedagang Portugis yang beragama Kristen. Portugis pun lebih suka berdagang dengan orang yang beragama Hindu. Karena Selat Malaka dan kota Malaka pada masa itu telah dikuasai Portugis, maka tak sedikit para pedagang datang untuk mengadakan transaksi jual beli berbagai komoditas di Banten. Sumber tertulis menyebutkan para pedagang itu berasal dari Arab, Abesinia, Belanda, Cina, Denmark, Gujarat, Inggris, Prancis, Persia, dan Turki. Kebesaran Kesultanan Banten pada masa ini ditunjang oleh beberapa faktor, seperti letak geografis yang stategis, kondisi lingkungan (ekologis) yang menguntungkan, struktur masyarakat, dan pemerintahan yang kuat. Pada waktu kota Banten menjadi pusat pemerintahan, kota ini banyak didatangi oleh para pedagang asing dan Nusantara. Kota Banten menjadi ramai karena terletak pada jalur perdagangan internasional dan merupakan penghasil komoditas lada. Para pedagang asing yang datang ke Banten, selain berdagang juga mencatat keadaan kota. Keberadaan Banten lama sebagai pusat kesultanan dan kota bandar yang dilengkapi dengan berbagai sarana diberitakan jelas oleh Belanda ketika mengirimkan ekspedisi pertamanya menuju Banten di bawah Corenelis de Houtman. Houtman menggambarkan keberadaan kota Banten sebagai keraton, masjid, alun-alun, pasar, pelabuhan, jalan, serta perdagangan di pasar Karangantu, perkampungan penduduk dari berbagai tempat di Indonesia. Kala itu, struktur masyarakat Banten amat multietnis, yakni yang berasal dari Melayu, Benggala, Gujarat, Abesenia, Cina, Arab, Pegu, Turki, Persia, Belanda, Portugis, dan para pedagang dari Nusantara seperti dari Ambong, Belanda, Maluku, Selor, Makasar, Sumbawa, Jaratan, Gersik, Pati, Sumatera, dan Kalimantan.

  • Religious Specificities in the Early Sultanate of Banten
    Religious Specificities in the Early Sultanate of Banten (Western Java, Indonesia) Gabriel Facal Abstract: This article examines the religious specificities of Banten during the early Islamizing of the region. The main characteristics of this process reside in a link between commerce and Muslim networks, a strong cosmopolitism, a variety of the Islam practices, the large number of brotherhoods’ followers and the popularity of esoteric practices. These specificities implicate that the Islamizing of the region was very progressive within period of time and the processes of conversion also generated inter-influence with local religious practices and cosmologies. As a consequence, the widespread assertion that Banten is a bastion of religious orthodoxy and the image the region suffers today as hosting bases of rigorist movements may be nuanced by the variety of the forms that Islam took through history. The dominant media- centered perspective also eludes the fact that cohabitation between religion and ritual initiation still composes the authority structure. This article aims to contribute to the knowledge of this phenomenon. Keywords: Islam, Banten, sultanate, initiation, commerce, cosmopolitism, brotherhoods. 1 Banten is well-known by historians to have been, during the Dutch colonial period at the XIXth century, a region where the observance of religious duties, like charity (zakat) and the pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj), was stronger than elsewhere in Java1. In the Indonesian popular vision, it is also considered to have been a stronghold against the Dutch occupation, and the Bantenese have the reputation to be rougher than their neighbors, that is the Sundanese. This image is mainly linked to the extended practice of local martial arts (penca) and invulnerability (debus) which are widespread and still transmitted in a number of Islamic boarding schools (pesantren).

  • Western Java, Indonesia)
    Religious Specificities in the Early Sultanate of Banten (Western Java, Indonesia) Gabriel Facal Université de Provence, Marseille. Abstrak Artikel ini membahas kekhasan agama di Banten pada masa awal Islamisasi di wilayah tersebut. Karakteristik utama dari proses Islamisasi Banten terletak pada hubungan antara perdagangan dengan jaringan Muslim, kosmopolitanisme yang kuat, keragaman praktek keislaman, besarnya pengikut persaudaraan dan maraknya praktik esotoris. Kekhasan ini menunjukkan bahwa proses Islamisasi Banten sangat cepat dari sisi waktu dan perpindahan agama/konversi yang terjadi merupakan hasil dari proses saling mempengaruhi antara Islam, agama lokal, dan kosmologi. Akibatnya, muncul anggapan bahwa Banten merupakan benteng ortodoksi agama. Kesan yang muncul saat ini adalah bahwa Banten sebagai basis gerakan rigoris/radikal dipengaruhi oleh bentuk-bentuk keislaman yang tumbuh dalam sejarah. Dominasi pandangan media juga menampik kenyataan bahwa persandingan antara agama dan ritual masih membentuk struktur kekuasaan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk berkontribusi dalam diskusi akademik terkait fenomena tersebut. Abstract The author examines the religious specifics of Banten during the early Islamizing of the region.

Penguasa Banten saat itu adalah Pucuk Umun, anak Prabu Surosowan. Banten kemudian melepaskan diri dari pengaruh kekuasaan kerajaan Sunda Pajajaran yang pada saat itu dalam masa kemunduran. Nusantara pada saat itu, di Banten khususnya didominasi oleh kepercayaan bercorak Hindu yang disebut Sunda Wiwitan, agama resmi Kerajaan Sunda Pajajaran. Syiar Islam di Banten dimulai oleh Sunan Ampel pada awal abad XV M. Usahanya tersebut kemudian dilanjutkan oleh Syarif Hidayatullah atau Sunan Gunung Djati bersama pamannya, Cakrabuana pada akhir abad yang sama.

  • 1 BAB I PENDAHULUAN A. Latar Belakang
    1 BAB I PENDAHULUAN A. Latar Belakang Masalah Banten merupakan salah satu bumi intelektualitas yang banyak melahirkan ulama ilmiah dan pejuang. Syekh Nawawi Al-Bantani yang berasal dari Banten, menjadi salah satu contoh teladan bagi kemajuan perkembangan gerakan keagamaan Islam di Indonesia. Keulamaan beliau sangat dihormati oleh kalangan tokoh-tokoh Islam Indonesia pada abad ke-18, tidak pelak lagi, banyak murid yang dulu berguru kepadanya menjadi tokoh yang punya pengaruh besar di nusantara. Di antara yang pernah menjadi murid beliau adalah pendiri Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) almarhum Hadraatussyekh Kyai Haji Hasyim Asy’ari. Banten tidak hanya dikenal dengan intelektualitas keulamaannya, tetapi juga dari segi pewacanaan masa lampau, daerah ini menyimpan segudang sejarah yang banyak dikaji oleh peneliti dari dalam maupun manca. Daerah yang dikenal dengan permainan tradisional debusnya ini, banyak sekali dibahas dalam literatur- literatur asing. Claude Guillot, seorang sejarawan dan arkeolog asal Prancis, tidak bisa menyembunyikan kekagumannya akan kekayaan sumber-sumber sejarah Banten, ia berujar bahwa, “... Banten adalah negeri yang kaya sekali akan sumber- sumber sejarah. Kerajaan ini bukan hanya telah menulis sejarahnya sendiri, melainkan juga merangsang banyak tulisan dari pengunjung-pengunjung asing, khususnya Eropa...”1 1 Claude Guillot, Banten (Sejarah dan Peradaban Abad X-XVII). Jakarta: Kepustakaan Populer Gramedia, 2008, hlm. 11-12. 2 Kekhasan dan keunikan sumber sejarah Banten yang beraneka ragam tidak bisa lepas dari letak geografis

  • Claude Guillot
    B a n t e n in 1678 Claude Guillot Cities undergo a continual change under the action of men, especially when they grow into successful centers of trade and communication where new ideas flow as well as gold and silver. And the passing of time does not diminish this truth—which explains the precise date given in the title above. Banten in 1678 was no longer the town that the Company of Comelis de Houtman had discovered eighty years before, as modem Jakarta is no longer the ancient city that it was at the turn of this century. Though it may seem an arbitrary choice, the year 1676 meets four requirements: Banten was still independent; the 1670s defi­ nitely were the most prosperous period in the history of this kingdom which was able to adapt itself to a new political and economic situation, with the growing participation of Westerners in the Asian seaborne trade; Sultan Ageng—the old sultan, according to the accurate translation of his contemporaries—had not yet given full authority to his eldest son, who already was his heir and viceroy and would later be known as Sultan Haji, but was still called the young sultan—sultan anom—at this time; and this transfer of power would modify even the appearance of the town; furthermore, in 1678, the conflict with Batavia about Cirebon broke out, conflict that would end with the fall of the Javanese kingdom. Banten on a map looked the ideal port. The city was located on the confluence of two great international seaways, the Malacca and Sunda straits, which were kept under almost total control by Bantenese possessions in the south of Sumatra.

Carr (1961), an influential British historian, history was an attempt to understand and interpret the past, to explain the causes and origins of things in intelligible terms. • Carr focused on wider forces in society that caused outcomes in society and politics, economic change, industrialization, class formation and class conflict. • The purpose of history was to understand the present and mould the future. Carr believed that historical causes were only interesting if they could help society deal with present day problems. • Carr’s work has been influential, but many of its assumptions have been called into question.
