The major purposes of this thesis are threefold; (1) to give a brief account of the histarical backdrop of the encounter between Islam and the Javanese tradition; (2) to discuss the ongoing dispute among scholars over whether the slam.etan is animistic, syncretistic or Islamic; and (3) to provide a new perspective on the slametan ritual based upon textual (religious) and contextual (socia-cultural) analysis. The hypothesis underlying this work is that the slametan is a prototype of syncretistic rituaI, the representative of Islamic elements -as its core-on the one hand, and local traditions -as its periphery-on the ather. This work will argue against the theory of the slametan developed bath by Geertz and Woodward. The first scholar sees the slametan from a socia-cultural perspective ooly, while the latter views it on an Islamic theologicaI basis. The current writer argues that one should employ a holistic perspective to see the slametan comprehensively; bath from "inside" (religious perspective) and ·outside· (cultural perspective). i Auteur Masdar Hilmy Titre Islam et acculturation javanaise: Une analyse textuelle et contextuelle du rite du Slametan Département: Institut des Êtudes Islamiques, Université McGill Diplôme Maîtrise ès Arts Ce mémoire porte sur la rencontre culturelle entre l'Islam et la culture javanaise telle que représentée par le rituel du slametan. Les objectifs principaux de cette recherche se présentent en trois volets: Premièrement, en donnant un bref aperçu du contexte historique de la rencontre entre l'Islam et la tradition javanaise, deuxièmement, en analysant le débat des spécialistes sur la question d'établir si le slametan est un rite animiste, syncrétiste ou islamique et, troisièmement, en proposant une nouvelle perspective du rituel du slametan, fondée sur une analyse textuelle (religieuse) et contextuelle (socio-culturelle). L'hypothèse sous-jacente de cett~ étude est que le slametan soit le prototype d'un rituel syncrétiste, étant d\me part, la représentation d'éléments islamiques (en son centre) et, d'autre part, la représentation de traditions locales (à sa périphérie). Cette recherche critiquera la théorie du slametan développée à la fois par Geertz ainsi que Woodward. Le premier chercheur perçoit le slametan uniquement d'après une perspective socio-culturelle alors que le second considère ce rite selon une approche théologique islamique. L'auteur de ce présent mémoire insiste qu'une perspective holistique devrait plutôt être employée afm de parvenir à une vision d'ensemble, à la fois de "l'intérieur" (perspective religieuse) et de "l'extérieur" (perspective culturelle) .. 11 ACKlfOWLEDGBMERTS Let me take this oppartunity to extend my deep appreciation ta an those who have assisted me during my graduate studies at the Institute of Islamic Studies.

Email: [email protected] Abstrak Penelitian ini membahas hubungan antara wayang dan proses penyebaran Islam. Wayang adalah fenomena budaya Jawa yang digunakan oleh para wali pada sekitar abad ke-15 dan ke-16 sebagai media dakwah Islam. Tulisan ini fokus pada Serat Erang-Erang Nata Pandawa yang mengulas tentang karakter Pandawa dalam hubungannya dengan Islam. ﻣﺴﺘﺨﻠﺺ – (Wayang ) ) . ( . (Serat Erang-Erang Nata Pandawa ) - ( ) . Keywords: Wayang, Serat Erang-Erang, Javanese, Wali A. Introduction It has been an interesting stance to discuss the relationship between religion and community in terms of the variety of possibilities of some unique emergences in the process. While people regards religious realms a total guidance that relates the 26 Millah Vol. X, No. 1, Agustus 2010 weakness of human being to the powerful—the Covenant, Javanese people, views religion providing a set of beliefs, symbols and rituals which have been faced a rigorous encounter along with the development of communities in the past, in the present and in the future. The dawn of Islam in Java shared the experience of this relationship, found in why and how the wali used the wayang in supporting their religious types of activities under the authority of the Court of Demak. The research discusses the relationship between the wayang and the role of wali ‘Saint’ in spreading Islam under the patron of the Court of Demak from the fifteenth to the sixteenth centuries. There have been some research conducted on the same field, but this aims at discussing the wayang as the phenomena of cultural heritage of the Javanese descendents and inhabitants, while the wali ‘Saint’ is framed as the element of religious representation in Java at the time.

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.

Dengan mengembangkan ajaran Islam melalui pendekatan budaya, menjadikan Islam mudah diterima oleh masyarakat. Proses islamisasi yang dilakukan Sunan Kalijaga dalam menyebarkan agama Islam dalam kondisi masyarakat pada masa itu masih kental dengan kepercayaan lama (Animisme, Dinamisme, Hindu dan Budha). Proses islamisasi yang dilakukan Sunan Kalijaga dalam menyebarkan agama Islam di pulau Jawa tidaklah mudah, karena kondisi masyarakat pada waktu itu masih kental dengan kepercayaan agama lama (Animime, Dinamisme, Hindu dan Budha). Akan tetapi dengan kepiawaian Sunan Kalijaga, sikap masayarakat terhadap dakwahnya sangat baik dan sedikit demi sedikit mau menerima ajaran agama Islam, karena ia dalam menyebarkan agama Islam benar- benar memahami keadaan rakyat pada saat itu. Sunan Kalijaga menyadari begitu kuatnya pengaruh Hindu-Budha pada saat itu, maka ia tidak melakukan dakwah secara frontal, melainkan toleran dengan budaya-budaya lokal. Menurutnya, masyarakat akan menjauh kalau diserang pendiriannya. Dengan pola mengikuti sambil mempengaruhi, dia mampu mendekati masyarakat secara bertahap. Prinsipnya, kalau ajaran Islam sudah dipahami, dengan sendirinya kebiasaan lama akan hilang. Ia memaduhkan unsur kebudayaan lama (Seni ukir, Suara, Gamelan, dan Wayang).

  • Towards a Re-Interpretation of Early Islamisation Processes in Southeast Asia
    Towards a Re-interpretation of Early Islamisation Processes in Southeast Asia KATE WOODLEY Abstract This essay problematises gradualist conceptualisations of early Southeast Asian Islamisation processes, arguing that although such models offer plausible interpretations of Islamisation processes on a regional scale, they become problematic when applied to local cases of Islamisation. These problems arise primarily because local historical evidence ‘resists’ gradualism as the tempo of Southeast Asian Islamisation processes, as shown by the cases of Pasai and Gresik. This article proposes an alternative conceptualisation of local Southeast Asian Islamisation as a process occurring over long stretches of time punctuated by short periods of rapid change. Not only is this alternative conceptualisation of Islamisation’s tempo more consistent with the evidence from Pasai and Gresik, it also provides an alternative framework for re-evaluating existing theories of the origins and nature of early Islamisation in Southeast Asia. Introduction In a 2006 paper on the historical origins of Islam in Southeast Asia, Southeast Asian Studies scholar Azyumardi Azra criticises Western scholars for their adherence to implicit Orientalist frameworks, arguing that these frameworks influence the nature of theorising on the origins of Islam in the region.1 Ironically, Azra goes on to characterise early Southeast Asian Islamisation as “an evolutionary process”, thereby himself adhering to a hidden framework which views the ‘natural’ tempo of Islamisation as a gradual process, characterised 1 Azra Azyumardi, Islam in the Indonesian World: An Account of Institutional Formation (Bandung: Mizan, 2006), 2. 115 The ANU Undergraduate Research Journal Volume Two 2010 by slow change over historical time. This essay seeks to problematise such conceptualisations of early Southeast Asian Islamisation, arguing that although gradualism provides a plausible framework for interpreting regional Islamisation processes, it fails to adequately explain local Islamisation processes.

  • Islamic Education and Linguistic Issues: Indonesian Experience
    ISLAMIC EDUCATION AND LINGUISTIC ISSUES: INDONESIAN EXPERIENCE Anis Malik Thoha Susiyanto [email protected] ABSTRACT Some languages have played an important role as the medium for the revelation of God to mankind. The existence of such language is to bridge the communication of the Prophet who was sent to his people. Thus, the existence of language as a medium of communication in propaganda is desperately needed between mad’u (object of da'wah) and preachers (actor of da'wah). It is understood that a language other than Arabic, serves as an introduction to preaching to the local non-Arab community. The local non-Arabic language as the language of propaganda has not been used as the way it was. There is a process to be followed, namely what is called by S.M.N. Al-Attas as the concept of Islamisation of Language. Linguistic aspects and translation of Islamic values by using the local language of instruction at least prove that Islam is not synonymous with Arab, although the Arabic is used as the language of science. Even here it appears that Islam tends to appreciate the various expressions of culture, including the linguistic aspects. Local and regional languages, when Islam has been embedded in the hearts of non-Arab nations, have not necessarily been lost and destroyed. On the contrary, these languages have increased in terms of the aspects of ethics, morality, and enrichment of terminological. In this very section, the Islamic education plays an important role in the development of linguistics and literacy, both in terms of the scientific language and medium of introduction for propaganda.

  • 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.
