HAMID NASUHI, MA NIP. 19630908 199001 1 001 ABSTRAK Fenomena orang suci –yang disebut wali—di Jawa merupakan bagian tidak terpisahkan dari fenomena yang sama di bagian dunia Islam lainnya. Wali adalah seseorang yang dianggap dekat dengan Allah sehingga bergelar Wali Allah (―teman Tuhan‖). Dari kedekatannya dengan Tuhan, seorang wali mendapatkan karamah- karamah, yang mendatangkan penghormatan dari para pengagumnya. Makam para wali umumnya ramai dikunjungi, tetapi yang dilakukan para peziarah di pemakaman sangat bervariasi dari satu tempat ke tempat lainnya. Sunan Kalijaga adalah seorang seorang wali yang sangat populer di kalangan orang Jawa. Nama Sunan Kalijaga semakin menyejarah ketika ia banyak disebut di dalam kitab-kitab sejarah (babad) yang banyak dikarang pada periode Kerajaan Mataram Islam, terutama mulai abad ke-17. Teks-teks itu sangat bersifat hagiografis sehingga hal-hal besar di Jawa masa kini, khususnya dalam bidang politik, budaya, dan keagamaan selalu dirujuk sebagai hasil kreasi dari wali ini. Modifikasi bentuk dan cerita-cerita wayang, lagu Lir-ilir, pemakaian bedug sebagai penanda salat, legenda tatal dalam pendirian Masjid Agung Demak, baju (kutang) Antakusuma yang keramat, dan lain-lain merupakan warisan dari Sunan Kalijaga. Karena itu, ia dianggap sebagai representasi manusia sempurna dalam pandangan orang Jawa, tidak kalah sempurna dari raja-raja –yang dianggap sebagai raja terbesar sekalipun—yang pernah berkuasa di Keraton Mataram. 56 KATA PENGANTAR Alhamdulillah, penelitian tentang sosok wali yang sangat terkenal di kalangan orang Jawa, Sunan Kalijaga, telah selesai digarap. Penelitian berjudul “Orang Suci di Tanah Jawa: Sosok Sunan Kalijaga dalam Tradisi Mataram Islam” ini diinspirasi oleh minimnya informasi tentang awal penyebaran Islam di Jawa yang konon diinisiasi oleh para wali yang tergabung dalam Wali Sanga (Wali Sembilan). Hal ini sangat disayangkan, mengingat umat Islam Indonesia saat ini adalah umat yang terbesar di dunia dari segi jumlah. Namun, ironisnya, figur-figur penting yang telah berjasa mengantarkan mereka kepada Islam tidak diketahui dengan baik oleh masyarakat. Saya mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Ketua Lembaga Penelitian dan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (LP2M) UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, dan lebih khusus kepada Kepala Pusat Penelitian dan Penerbitan (Puslitpen), yang telah bersedia membiayai penelitian ini. Juga ucapan yang sama saya tujukan kepada para staf Puslitpen yang telah membantu kelancaran administrasi penelitian ini. Akhir kata, saya memohon maaf jika masih banyak kekurangan dalam laporan penelitian ini. Insyaallah, jika ada kesempatan untuk diterbitkan, laporan ini akan diformat ulang, sehingga lebih layak terbit (publishable).

Latar Belakang Penelitian Seluruh pengkaji Islam di Jawa –baik yang dari Indonesia maupun dari luar Indonesia—tidak ada yang menafikan peran para wali dalam mengislamkan penduduk Jawa di masa awal. Para wali –orang-orang suci—itu diyakini sebagai sosok yang paling bertanggung jawab mengubah agama orang Jawa dari semula Hindu-Buddha menjadi Islam. Perubahan itu, meskipun berlangsung secara bertahap, tentu merupakan fenomena luar biasa mengingat bahwa agama Hindu dan Buddha sudah menancapkan pengaruhnya sedemikian dalam dan lama di Jawa, kurang lebih satu milenium. Namun, fakta yang mestinya bersifat historis ini masih sulit dilacak kebenaran dan akurasinya. Ini tentu sebuah ironi. Para wali itu diperkirakan hidup pada abad ke-15 dan ke-16 M, tetapi sulit sekali ditemukan catatan historis yang kredibel tentang mereka. Bahkan nama-nama mereka tidak ada yang menjadi entry dalam The Encyclopaedia of Islam tujuh jilid yang tebal-tebal itu. Ini berbeda dengan tokoh- tokoh Muslim lain yang tersebar dari seluruh penjuru dunia yang mendapat kehormatan masuk dalam buku referensi monumental tersebut. Padahal, saat ini umat Islam Indonesia adalah yang terbanyak jumlahnya di dunia, dan umat Islam di Jawa, sebagai suku bangsa terbesar di Indonesia, pastilah menjadi penyumbang yang signifikan dari jumlah tersebut. Sampai sekarang makam tokoh-tokoh yang disebut sebagai bagian dari Wali Sanga (sembilan wali) itu ramai dikunjungi para peziarah. Makam-makam tersebut tersebar dari Jawa Barat, Jawa Tengah, hingga Jawa Timur. Dengan semakin membaiknya kondisi ekonomi masyarakat, paket wisata ziarah Wali Sanga tampak cukup diminati. Sebagai contoh, kota Demak, yang memiliki dua situs ziarah utama, yaitu Masjid Agung Demak dengan makam para rajanya dan Makam Sunan Kalijaga di Desa Kadilangu, banyak dikunjungi wisatawan dari luar daerah. Bahkan dalam survei pariwisata Jawa Tengah pernah disebutkan 1 bahwa Demak adalah destinasi wisata terbesar kedua di Jawa Tengah setelah Candi Borobudur. Tradisi ziarah ke makam seorang wali bisa menjadi penanda atau indikator seberapa besar jasa dan pengaruh wali tersebut di mata masyarakat peziarah. Namun, sayangnya, keterkaitan fenomena para wali dengan peristiwa besar sejarah konversi keagamaan di Jawa tersebut belum banyak dikaji dalam perspektif sejarah kritis. Hanya sedikit sejarahwan yang memfokuskan kajiannya pada masalah ini, antara lain H.J. de Graaf dari Belanda, Hosein Djajadiningrat dari Indonesia, dan M.C. Ricklefs dari Australia. Sementara hasil studi sarjana yang lain tampak belum sampai pada level ketiga sarjana tersebut. Bahkan banyak di antara mereka yang cenderung menulis dengan semangat hagiografis. Hal ini tentu membawa problem akademis; bisakah yang mereka tulis itu dipercaya? Secara arkeologis dan genealogis sulit diingkari bahwa para wali itu memang benar-benar pernah ada; di samping keberadaan situs-situs makam mereka, ada pula para warga yang mengaku sebagai keturunan orang-orang suci tersebut. Namun, kebesaran dan keagungan para wali di mata masyarakat justru terbentuk lebih solid melalui transmisi kultural, khususnya lewat karya-karya sastra, yang banyak menyebut peran mereka dalam penyebaran Islam di Jawa. Salah satu karya sastra terpenting mengenai hal ini adalah Babad Tanah Jawi (BTJ), yang dikarang pada masa Kerajaan Mataram Islam. Kerajaan Mataram Islam adalah kerajaan besar terakhir di Jawa yang sekarang ini terpecah menjadi empat bagian: Keraton Kasunanan di Surakarta, Keraton Kasultanan di Yogyakarta, Pura Mangkunegaran di Surakarta, dan Pura Pakualaman di Yogyakarta. Sebagai ‗buku induk‘ sejarah Jawa, BTJ memuat secara lengkap cerita tentang Jawa, mulai dari mitos asal-usul Tanah Jawa, kerajaan-kerajaan yang pernah berdiri di atasnya, kedatangan agama Islam dan peran para wali, sampai detil cerita raja-raja yang berkuasa di Mataram hingga masa Surakarta. Salah satu wali yang diceritakan dengan rinci dalam BTJ adalah Sunan Kalijaga. Wali asal Tuban, kota di pesisir utara Jawa bagian timur, ini

  • Understanding the Meaning of Wayang Kulit Performance Using Thick Description Approach
    Understanding the Meaning of Wayang Kulit Performance using Thick Description Approach Mario Nugroho Willyarto1, Krismarliyanti2 and Ulani Yunus3 1 Language Center, Primary Teacher Education Department, Faculty of Humanities, Bina Nusantara University, Jakarta, Indonesia 11480 2Independent Writer 3 Marketing Communication Program, Communication Department, Faculty of Economics & Communication, Bina Nusantara University, Jakarta, Indonesia 11480 Keywords: Wayang Kulit, Thick Description, Cultural Heritage Abstract: This paper described the meaning of Wayang Kulit in Javanese philosophy, a brief description of the figures represented by the puppets. Wayang is one of the cultural heritages of Java which is very deep understanding of the culture and character of the people of Indonesia. The meaning of symbols of wayang is the focus of this paper. The symbols are represented by character of Semar, Bagong, Petruk and Gareng. What is the role wayang in daily life, especially for Indonesian people, is becoming the main discussion as well. There are a lot of wayang performances that have a deep meaning of the life itself. Although there are some scholars who say that wayang is originally from India but it is not proved and, in the end, people accepted that wayang came from Java. Opinion about wayang originated from India was because the story in the puppet was adapted from the Mahabharata story originating from India. Using the concept of thick description by Clifford Geertz, the author tries to explain about the history and character of the puppet figures according to Javanese philosophy. Prominent figures such as Semar, Gareng, Petruk and Bagong were the reflection of the ideal human being depicted with an imperfect physical form.

The text of cultural objects, ceremonial, Javanese idioms, and narrative texts containing the history of KAG have not been thoroughly worked out and presented by researchers to the community as a result of integrated and complex research. The existence of complex texts makes the KAG cemetery special among other cemeterys in Java. The construction of the text of cultural objects is structured in such a way as to follow the idea of the status and role of KAG in the past. KAG is seen as a saint (guardian), descendant of King Brawijaya king of Majapahit (Hindu symbol) and Sunan Giri (Islamic symbol). KAG as a symbolic expression of Java combines the concept of Hindu and Islamic thought. As an Islam, KAG positioned itself on a moderate Javanese Islamic ideology by preserving and perpetuating tradition by protecting itself from the understanding of Arabic Islamic symbolized by Shaykh Ibrahim (successfully defeated in a fight). The concept of moderate Javanese Islamic thought in KAG is expressed on the entire narrative text and cultural objects contained within the cemetery complex. The complex of the cemetery as a meaningful text is sustained by the relation of other text elements within its ideological structure.

  • Belajar Babad Tanah Jawi Pada Gus Dur
    (The Voice of Freedom) 19 September 2012 NU Observer, Holland Taylor Studying the Babad Tanah Jawi (History of the Land of Java) with Gus Dur SM/A Adib. Relaxed and chatting: Dr. [sic] Holland Taylor converses nonchalantly with Kyai Haji A. Mustofa Bisri, Deputy Chairman of the Nahdlatul Ulama Supreme Council. Both attended the NU’s recent National Deliberation and Conference held at Pondok Pesantren (Madrasah) Kempek in Cirebon, West Java. Developments within the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) are of interest not only to its followers, but also to non-Muslims and foreigners. One of the latter is Mr. Holland Taylor, an American citizen. Many attendees at the Nahdlatul Ulama’s National Deliberation and Grand Conference—held from 14 – 17 September at Pondok Pesantren Kempek (Madrasah) in Cirebon, West Java— suddenly turned their attention that morning to the Caucasian man, Mr. Holland Taylor (56). This father of three appeared quite different from most Americans, who usually attend important meetings wearing a full suit and tie. His dress was also somewhat different from that of other attendees at the National Deliberation and Grand Conference. This particular gentleman, who lives in Magelang, Central Java, wore a formal suit jacket and a sarong, but no skullcap [unlike everyone else]. He was not in the least awkward when he arrived at the conference site. As a matter of fact, he immediately began mingling with a number of attendees and well-known religious leaders, such as Kyai Haji Yahya Staquf and Kyai Haji Chasib Chasbullah. He also greeted everyone with whom he crossed paths, and all who approached him.

  • The Basic Standard of Obedience Toward the Ruler in Javanese Culture
    The Basic Standard of Obedience toward the Ruler in Javanese Culture (Critical Study of Serat Siti Jenar Ingkang Tulen) By: Aris Fauzan Doctoral Program (S3) of Psychology of Islamic Education (PIE) Postgraduate of Muhammadiyah University of Yogyakarta e-mail: [email protected] and [email protected] Abstract This paper attempts to reveal how the doctrine leads a person's political obedience in the context of the background setting of the monarchy system power in Islamic kingdom in Demak (16-17 centuries).The Islamic kingdom of Demak was known as the first Islamic Kingdom as the continuation of Majapahit Hindu kingdom. The doctrine that the writer means is taken from Serat Siti Jenar Ingkang Tulen. This serat (Text) especially is about the disobedience of Syekh Siti Jenar (a member of Walisongo) towards the Islamic kingdom of Demak. Because of his attitude, Syeikh Siti Jenar finally had to be beheaded in front of the King and other Walisongo members. To reveal that doctrine, the writer read the whole content of that script from the beginning to the end, then analyzed by using a descriptive method towards the whole content from the beginning to the end in Serat Siti Jenar Ingkang Tulen. The writer got at least six instruments of doctrine for a person or group or institution that is considered to meet the basic standard of obedience towards the ruler. The instruments are: first, the person or group or institution has to accept and understand the system of pattern and religious identity that is same as the ruler; second, the person or group or institution has to attend the Jumat prayer in mosque or worship place that is built by the kingdom.

  • The Islamic Traditions of Cirebon
    Chapter 1: Introduction POINTS OF DEPARTURE: REVIEW OF PREVIOUS STUDIES ¼syncretism is very conspicuous in the religion of Java. This perhaps results from the flexibility of the Javanese people in accepting various incoming religions from the outside world. In historical times, upon their underlying animistic beliefs, Javanese had successively accepted Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Christianity, and ªJavanizedº them all. And as can be seen¼worship of various spirits strongly exists in the deep stratum of folk psychology. It is said ¼ among the Javanese: ªSedaya agami sami kemawonº ¼ Although 90% of the inhabitants ¼profess Islam, they all belong to ¼ªwong abanganº, whose Islamic beliefs seem to cover the surface of their traditional concepts. This is well proved by the continuing existence of the various salamatans ¼1 This quotation reflects a view adopted by some Indonesianists who hold as an axiom that Javanese Islam is syncretic. Its basis is a conviction that animism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam have formed layers of Javanese culture. From this conviction derives an approach of seeing Javanese Islam as founded on multi-layered syncretism. Everything is then analysed and explained in terms of this `multi layered' schemata. One version of this syncretic argument is championed by Clifford Geertz who developed an abangan-santri-priyayi trichotomy for seeing the socio-religious pattern and development of Java.2 His approach has enjoyed currency among many Indonesianists for the last few decades. Subsequent work on Javanese socio-religious discourse cannot proceed without reference to him. For this reason, I wish to take his work as the focus of my initial discussion.
