Leiden: LOT (Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics), 2007, 438 pp. ISBN 9789078328247. Price: EUR 32.27 (paperback). ALEXANDER ADELAAR Asia Institute, University of Melbourne [email protected] The traditional languages in Indonesia’s West Kalimantan Province are pre- dominantly Malayic and Bidayuhic (although some other language groups are also represented). Mualang belongs to the Ibanic branch of the Malayic lan- guage group and is spoken in the Belitang Hulu, Belitang Hilir and Belitang districts of Sekadau Regency (formerly part of Sanggau Regency). Based on purely linguistic criteria, it is clearly in a dialect relation with Iban, one of the main languages in Sarawak and a minority language in West Kalimantan. It is probably even more like Iban than some other Ibanic languages, which have not developed the diphthongs that are so typical of Iban and Mualang (for example, datay ‘come’; jalay ‘road’; tikay ‘mat’). Notable differences between the two varieties are that Iban does not exhibit nasal preplosion and postplo- sion (see below), and that Iban has acquired a transitive suffix –ka, whereas in Mualang this element is still a preposition. According to Tjia, another dif- ference is that in Iban mid vowels are phonemic whereas in Mualang they are allophones of high vowels, but this is just a matter of analysis, as Scott (1957) was able to show that Iban high and mid vowels were still allophones, in spite of the rather non-phonemic Iban spelling conventions. -

China's Southwestern Silk Road in World History By
China's Southwestern Silk Road in World History By: James A. Anderson James A. Anderson, "China's Southwestern Silk Road in World History," World History Connected March 2009 http://worldhistoryconnected.press.illinois.edu/6.1/anderson.html Made available courtesy of University of Illinois Press: http://www.press.uillinois.edu/ ***Reprinted with permission. No further reproduction is authorized without written permission from the University of Illinois Press. This version of the document is not the version of record. Figures and/or pictures may be missing from this format of the document.*** As Robert Clark notes in The Global Imperative, "there is no doubt that trade networks like the Silk Road made possible the flourishing and spread of ancient civilizations to something approximating a global culture of the times."1 Goods, people and ideas all travelled along these long-distance routes spanning or circumventing the vast landmass of Eurasia. From earliest times, there have been three main routes, which connected China with the outside world.2 These were the overland routes that stretched across Eurasia from China to the Mediterranean, known collectively as the "Silk Road"; the Spice Trade shipping routes passing from the South China Sea into the Indian Ocean and beyond, known today as the "Maritime Silk Road"; and the "Southwestern Silk Road," a network of overland passages stretching from Central China through the mountainous areas of Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces into the eastern states of South Asia. Although the first two routes are better known to students of World History, the Southwestern Silk Road has a long ancestry and also played an important role in knitting the world together. -

International Journal of Innovation, Creativity and Change. www.ijicc.net Volume 12, Issue 6, 2020 Wetu Telu as a Local Identity of the Sasak ethnic Group on Globally Cultural Endeavour in Lombok I Gusti Ngurah Seramasaraa, Email: [email protected], This paper aims to examine the Wetu Telu as the local identity of Sasak ethnic group on globally cultural endeavour in Lombok. The Wetu Telu tradition has been inherited down from many generations by Sasak ethnic groups, and has experienced a cultural endeavour in the era of globalisation, because it was considered not in accordance with the teachings of Islam in general. The endeavour arises between the ethnic Sasak group who want to maintain the Wetu Telu tradition as a local identity and those who want to apply Islamic culture in general. The endeavour raises concerns about the extinction of the Wetu Telu tradition and the Sasak ethnic group losing their identity. The issue that arises in this case is how Sasak people can maintain their local wisdom so as not to lose their identity. To analyse and explain the Wetu Telu culture as a local identity of the Sasak ethnicity, qualitative research methods were used to reveal the Wetu Telu cultural meaning as a Sasak identity and explain the rise of Sasak local wisdom in Lombok in the midst of globalisation. Qualitative research methods in this case use the historical paradigm, the theory of multiculturalism and the theory of hegemony. This research will be able to reveal the background of the Wetu Telu culture, the endeavour of identity and the rise of the Wetu Telu as the Sasak identity. -
Nur Muhammad" Concept in Malay Manuscripts: Tajalliy and Faidhun's Perspective Study
The Controversy of "Nur Muhammad" Concept in Malay Manuscripts: Tajalliy and Faidhun's Perspective Study Sangidu1, Harun Joko Prayitno2, Elita Ulfina3, Sherif Sa’ad El-Jayyar4, Awla Akbar Ilma5 {[email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] } Universitas Gajah Mada, Yogyakarta, Indonesia1, Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta, Surakarta, Indonesia2, IAIN Surakarta,Surakarta, Indonesia3, Bany Suef University, Egypt4, Suez Canal University, Egypt5 Abstract. The issue of the concept of "Nur Muhammad" in the general perspective still cannot resolve the nature of beings and life. This research is intended to explore the controversy surrounding the concept of "Nur Muhammad", focusing particularly on the manuscript Hikayat Nur Muhammad but also considering other Malay manuscripts to explore how "Nur Muhammad" was understood. In the context of Islamic philosophy, the concept of tajalliy (emanation) holds that everything in the universe, including human beings, originate from the "Nur Muhammad", the Almighty, viewed as the source of all light. Disagreement over the process through which the universe and its contents were created, including human beings, has created conflict between the Ahlu Wachdatil-Wujūd (Syaikh Hamzah Fansuri, Syaikh Syamsuddin As-Samatrani, and their followers) and the Ahlu Wachdatisy-Syuhūd (Syaikh Nuruddin Ar-Raniry and his followers). This research has found that the Ahlu Wachdatil-Wujūd have held that the process through which "Nur Muhammad" spread from ta`ayyun tsāniy (second reality) or a`yān tsābitah (fixed reality) to a`yān khārijiyyah (reality outside Dzāt, Wujūd, and His essence) was not a process of creation, but rather one of radiance or tajalliy. -

Tuan Guru and Ahmadiyah in the Redrawing of Post-1998 Sasak-Muslim Boundary Lines in Lombok
CONTESTED IDENTITIES: TUAN GURU AND AHMADIYAH IN THE REDRAWING OF POST-1998 SASAK-MUSLIM BOUNDARY LINES IN LOMBOK BY SITTI SANI NURHAYATI A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2020 i Abstract This study examines what drives the increasing hostility towards Ahmadiyah in post- Suharto Lombok. Fieldwork was undertaken in three villages – Pemongkong, Pancor and Ketapang – where Ahmadiyah communities lived and experienced violent attacks from 1998 to 2010. The stories from these villages are analysed within the context of a revival of local religious authority and the redefinition of the paradigm of ethno-religious identity. Furthermore, this thesis contends that the redrawing of identity in Lombok generates a new interdependency of different religious authorities, as well as novel political possibilities following the regime change. Finally, the thesis concludes there is a need to understand intercommunal religious violence by reference to specific local realities. Concomitantly, there is a need for greater caution in offering sweeping universal Indonesia-wide explanations that need to be qualified in terms of local contexts. ii iii Acknowledgements Alhamdulillah. I would especially like to express my sincere gratitude and heartfelt appreciation to my primary supervisor, Professor Paul Morris. As my supervisor and mentor, Paul has taught me more than I could ever give him credit for here. My immense gratitude also goes to my secondary supervisors, Drs Geoff Troughton and Eva Nisa, for their thoughtful guidance and endless support, which enabled me, from the initial to the final stages of my doctoral study, to meaningfully engage in the whole thesis writing process. -

Hamzah Fansuri: Pelopor Tasawuf Wujudiyah Dan Pengaruhnya Hingga Kini Di Nusantara
DOI: 10.21274/epis.2017.12.1.261-286 HAMZAH FANSURI: PELOPOR TASAWUF WUJUDIYAH DAN PENGARUHNYA HINGGA KINI DI NUSANTARA Syamsun Ni’am Fakultas Tarbiyah dan Ilmu Keguruan IAIN Tulungagung [email protected] Abstrak Artikel ini ingin melacak aspek historisitas dan kontinuitas tasawuf yang tumbuh dan berkembang di Nusantara. Hamzah Fansuri adalah sufi pertama yang mengajarkan tasawuf berpaham wujudiyah (panteisme) di Nusantara. Tasawuf paham wujudiyah diperoleh Hamzah Fansuri dari Ibnu ‘Arabi, Abu Yazid al-Bisthami, al-Hallaj, al-Rumi, al-Attar, al-Jami, dan lain- lain. Karya Hamzah Fansuri yang dianggap monumental yang hingga kini memeliki pengaruh besar di Nusantara adalah Asrar al-‘Arifin, al-Muntahi, dan Syarab al-‘Asyiqin. Tidak sedikit kajian yang muncul tentang tasawuf Hamzah Fansuri ini baik dari pengkaji Barat maupun Timur. Pengaruhnya pun tidak hanya di wilayah Jawa, namun juga hingga ke Negeri Perak, Perlis, Kelantan, Terengganu, dan lain-lain. Adapun struktur artikel ini terdiri dari pendahuluan, biografi singkat Hamzah Fansuri berikut karya- karyanya, ajaran tasawuf wujudiyahnya, pengaruhnya di Nusantara dan dunia, dan Kontribusi Hamzah Fansuri terhadap perkembangan studi Islam di Nusantara. Akhirnya ditemukan bahwa tasawuf wujudiyah Hamzah Fansuri telah memberikan pengaruh luas, tidak hanya dalam lanskap kajian tasawuf, namun juga pada kajian Islam pada umumnya. Pengaruh kuat dalam kajian tasawuf setelahnya adalah munculnya dua kelompok yang berbeda. Satu kelompok mengapresiasi dan mengembangkan ajarannya hingga kini, dan kelompok lainnya justru menentang dan menganggapnya sebagai ajaran tasawuf sesat (heterodoks). Syamsun Ni’am: Hamzah Fansuri................. [This article is trying to trace the aspect of tasawuf historicity and continuity that has grown and developed in Nusantara. Hamzah Fansuri is the first Sufi who teaches tasawuf referred to wujudiyah (panteism) in Nusantara. -
ISLAM WETU TELU [Dialektika Hukum Islam Dengan Tradisi Lokal]
, Jurnal Hukum Islam ISLAM WETU TELU [Dialektika Hukum Islam dengan Tradisi Lokal] Muhammad Harfin Zuhdi Fakultas Syariah dan Ekonomi Islam IAIN Mataram Email: harfi[email protected]) Abstract: Islam reached Lombok in the sixteenth century. It was brought by the Javanese Muslim preachers led by Sunan Prapen, the son of Sunan Giri, one of the famous nine saints (Wali Songo). Prior to the spread of Islam in this island, the indigenous people of Lombok (the Sasak) had embraced their own traditional religion, called Boda. This created dialectics between Islam and this local belief that resulted in the rise of vernacular expression of Islam called wetu teluin Bayan, north Lombok. This article is aimed to describe Islam in Lombok which is influenced Ey indigenous cultures and local religious beliefs. Different perspectivesof and understandings in realizing Islamand its teachings as well as its acculturation into local structure have contributed to the emergence of plural and parochial Indonesian Islam. In Lombok, there are two variants of Islam which are diametrically separated: namely Wetu Telu and Islam Waktu Lima. Wetu Telu can be categorized as a traditional religion, while :aktu Limacan be classified as a divine religions. However, this classification does not separate the former from the latter. These categories are fluid, where a certain category or specific characteristic, which belongs to one group, may also be found in the other group. In other words, Wetu Telu religious practices may also contain the values, concepts, views, and certain practices that are common among the follower of Waktu Lima. Therefore, Waktu lima classified as divine religion may contain something that is parochial.
