  • 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.

  • Tri Tangtu on Sunda Wiwitan Doctrine in the XIV-XVII Century
    TAWARIKH: Journal of Historical Studies, Volume 10(1), October 2018 Journal of Historical Studies ETTY SARINGENDYANTI, NINA HERLINA & MUMUH MUHSIN ZAKARIA Tri Tangtu on Sunda Wiwitan Doctrine in the XIV-XVII Century ABSTRACT: This article aims to reconstruct the concept of “Tri Tangtu” in the “Sunda Wiwitan” doctrine in the XIV-XVII century, when the Sunda kingdom in West Java, Indonesia was under the reign of Niskala Wastu (-kancana) at Surawisesa Palace in Kawali, Ciamis, until its collapse in 1579 AD (Anno Domini). “Tri Tangtu” absorbs the three to unite, one for three, essentially three things in fact one, the things and paradoxical attributes fused into and expanded outward. The outside looks calm, firm, one, but inside is continuously active in its entirety in various activities. This concept is still also continues on indigenous of Kanekes (Baduy) in Banten, Western Java. In achieving that goal, historical methods are used, consisting of heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. In the context of explanation used social sciences theory, namely socio-anthropology through the theory of religion proposed by Clifford Geertz (1973), namely religion as a cultural system that coherently explains the involvement between religion and culture. The results of this study show that the concept of “Tri Tangtu” consists of “Tri Tangtu dina Raga (Salira)”; “Tri Tangtu dina Nagara”; and “Tri Tangtu dina Buana”. About “Tri Tangtu dina Raga” is a system of human reciprocal relationship to the transcendent with “lampah, tekad, ucap (bayu-sabda- hedap)” or deed, strong will, and word. “Tri Tangtu dina Nagara” is a unity of “Rsi-Ratu-Rama” or Cleric, Ruler, and a Wise Oldmen.

  • 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).
