By Khaldun Malek Thesis Abstract This dissertation focuses on an important Muslim periodical "Pengasoh" and the role it has played in the Muslim ‘reform’ discourses in early 20th century Malaya. The periodical was first published by the Majlis Agama Islam Kelantan (Kelantan’s State Islamic Council) in 1918. Within the context of Malay-Muslim society, Kelantan was, and in some ways remain, a particularly important centre for Islamic culture and learning, attracting teachers and students from across the region. The Majlis itself was established by some of the leading ulama on the Peninsula at the time. Many were educated in the Middle East and had close associations with some of the major Muslim reformists in Egypt and the Haramayn. The standing of the Kelantanese 'ulama' within Malay-Muslim Southeast Asia, and the role of "Pengasoh" within that community meant that the periodical gives a unique glimpse into the world of these intellectual-theocrats. In this sense, the study of “Pengasoh” is a prism which could further our understanding of the dynamics of Islamic intellectual culture in Kelantan – as well as the surrounding region – during the early decades of the 20th century. 3 What this dissertation attempts to show is how the ideational aspects of this community may be better understood if two important factors are taken into account - the linkages throughout the Indian Ocean littoral which form the cultural and religious milieu which shaped the thinking within the Kelantanese ‘ulama’; and how this sits in a wider conversation between "Islam" and "modernity". This moves away from existing studies which sought to clearly demarcate these Islamicate discourses as one between ‘Modernist’ Muslims and their ‘traditionalist’ counterparts. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION .................................................................................................................. 6 Chapter 1: The Backdrop: Islamic Society in Kelantan ................................................... 22 Chapter 2: Kaum Muda vs Kaum Tua: Between “Tradition(s)” and Contesting Ideological Hegemonies? ...................................................................................................... 56 Chapter 3: Shaykh Ahmad Muhammad Zain al-Patani (1856-1906) and Islamic Reform in Kelantan and Patani: Transition and Transmission in Islamic Culture and Learning ......................................................................................................................... 82 Chapter 4: Reforming the Modern: The Rise of the Majlis Ugama Islam dan Adat Istiadat Melayu Kelantan (MAIK), 1900-1915 .................................................................. 112 Chapter 5: Pengasoh and the Emergence of a Public Discourse in Kelantan .............. 127 Chapter 6: Shaping the Present and the Past – The Early Years of Pengasoh, 1918-1925 ............................................................................................................................. 142 CONCLUSION ................................................................................................................... 179 BIBLIOGRAPHY ............................................................................................................... 190 5 INTRODUCTION This dissertation focuses on an important Muslim periodical "Pengasoh" and the role it has played in the Muslim "modernist - traditionalist" discourses in early 20th century Malaya. The periodical was published by the Majlis Agama Islam dan Adat Isti’adat Melayu Kelantan (Kelantan’s State Islamic Council). It was both an important part of the emerging public discourses on Islam during the period and provides a significant resource for understanding the intellectual developments taking place within Islamicate society in Malaya before the Second World War. Islam on the Malay Peninsula remains a much understudied subject.1 The emphasis of earlier works on the topic have tended to either view it as part of the emerging nation building discourses amongst the Malays (Roff: 1967), or as institutional developments forming part of the larger process of colonial political and administrative reform (Yegar: 1979). More recently, this has been supplemented by the works of Milner (1995; 1986) which sought to locate cultural shifts and ideological change within Malay Muslim society by a close reading of particular texts, and examining how the use of language changes through the introduction of new terminologies and concepts over time. By tracking these shifts, a more subtle and dynamic account of intellectual, religious and cultural transformation among the Malays emerges, where 1 Earlier studies of Islam in Southeast Asia have generally focused on either a regional perspective with limited emphasis on the Islamicate developments on the Peninsula (Azra, 2004; Nathan and Kamali eds., 2005; Johns and Israeli eds., 1984; Osman ed., 1997; al-Attas (1969; 1986 et al); or on the social and political dynamics of specific areas (Roff ed., 1974; Kessler, 1978) or on the processes of nation-formation (Roff, 1967) – though the earlier works of Winstedt (1925; 1950) attempted to outline the general characteristics of Muslim belief in Malaya. Other historical or social scientific studies, though noting the Islamic character of Malay society, makes limited attempts to explore the theological and ideational dimensions of the different trajectories of Malay Muslim belief. This dissertation, while drawing on from each of these approaches, attempts to locate the cultural and intellectual changes taking place in early 20th century Kelantan within broader developments taking place in Malaya and the wider Islamic world. This approach follows the works of Laffan (2003; 2011), later Roff (1985) and Azra (2004) which emphasizes the importance of the trans-national linkages of the reformist networks across the Indian Ocean littoral in the shaping of Muslim thought in the region and the Peninsula. We examine the spread of the broad intellectual themes propagated through the networks and how this is then interpreted and reformulated within the context of Kelantan and the Peninsula. 6 colonial culture, Islam, local politics and intellectual change play a crucial role in this new, highly contested Malay public sphere. Milner’s analysis, however, (in a way not dis-similar to Roff’s early work) relies on the assumption that these discourses were shaped largely by disagreements between the rational, ‘sharia-minded’ modernists (denoted by the term “kaum muda”) and their traditionalist opponents, the “kaum tua” (older generation) – dogmatic and resistant to change. By focusing primarily on the way in which “Islamic” ideas were precursors to larger discourses of the politics of identity and nation building, both works underplayed the complex and dynamic nature of wider Islamic discourses which accompanied these developments on the Peninsula.2 They also suggest that these intellectual

  • Hajj and the Malayan Experience, 1860S–1941
    KEMANUSIAAN Vol. 21, No. 2, (2014), 79–98 Hajj and the Malayan Experience, 1860s–1941 AIZA MASLAN @ BAHARUDIN Universiti Sains Malaysia, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia [email protected] Abstract. Contrary to popular belief, the hajj is a high-risk undertaking for both pilgrims and administrators. For the Malay states, the most vexing problem for people from the mid-nineteenth century until the Second World War was the spread of epidemics that resulted from passenger overcrowding on pilgrim ships. This had been a major issue in Europe since the 1860s, when the international community associated the hajj with the outbreak and spread of infectious diseases. Accusations were directed at various parties, including the colonial administration in the Straits Settlements and the British administration in the Malay states. This article focuses on epidemics and overcrowding on pilgrim ships and the resultant pressure on the British, who were concerned that the issue could pose a threat to their political position, especially when the Muslim community in the Malay states had become increasingly exposed to reformist ideas from the Middle East following the First World War. Keywords and phrases: Malays, hajj, epidemics, British administration, Straits Settlements, Malay states Introduction As with health and education, the colonial powers had to handle religion with great care. The colonisers covertly used these three aspects not only to gain the hearts of the colonised but, more importantly, to maintain their reputation among other colonial powers. Roy MacLeod, for example, sees the introduction of Western medicine to colonised countries as functioning as both cultural agency and western expansion (MacLeod and Lewis 1988; Chee 1982).

    Title The Chams and the Malay World Author(s) NISHIO, Kanji CIAS discussion paper No.3 : Islam at the Margins: The Citation Muslims of Indochina (2008), 3: 86-93 Issue Date 2008-03 URL http://hdl.handle.net/2433/228399 Right © Center for Integrated Area Studies (CIAS), Kyoto University Type Departmental Bulletin Paper Textversion publisher Kyoto University The Chams and the Malay World Kanji NISHIO National Defense Academy, Japan Abstract There has been a lot of interest on the Malay world in the recent years but there is still a lack of conceptual clarity as to what the term really means. This has fueled an interesting debate as to how it should be conceptualized and approached. In Japan, although different approaches have been attempted, the Southeast Asian maritime world perspective seems to be prevalent. This paper will try to examine the link between the Malay world and Indochina from the viewpoint of commercial activ- ities. The first section will discuss the role of the Chams in the early modern Malay World. I would like to assess the profile of the Chams in this period. The second section of the paper will, in contrast, examine the activities of the Malays in Champa and Cambodia. In the final section, I would like to highlight some information on the Chams in contemporary Malaysia based on my preliminary sur- vey, which seems to suggest a recurring theme in the history of the Malay world. Introduction Over the past few decades, scholarly concern with the Malay world has been growing. For Malay scholars in Malaysia, the Malay world is undoubtedly one of the most important subjects of study.

Meanwhile BJP has again raised the issue of reconstruction of Ram temple in Ayodhya in order to provoke Hindu extremists to favour them. CPI (M) however accused Congress for increased US influence in the region; that according to them has left India isolated. Meanwhile as far as Mumbai attacks are concerned, efforts are being carried out by both Pakistan and India to find culprits.

    Mamluk Architectural Landmarks 2019 Mamluk Architectural in Jerusalem Under Mamluk rule, Jerusalem assumed an exalted Landmarks in Jerusalem religious status and enjoyed a moment of great cultural, theological, economic, and architectural prosperity that restored its privileged status to its former glory in the Umayyad period. The special Jerusalem in Landmarks Architectural Mamluk allure of Al-Quds al-Sharif, with its sublime noble serenity and inalienable Muslim Arab identity, has enticed Muslims in general and Sufis in particular to travel there on pilgrimage, ziyarat, as has been enjoined by the Prophet Mohammad. Dowagers, princes, and sultans, benefactors and benefactresses, endowed lavishly built madares and khanqahs as institutes of teaching Islam and Sufism. Mausoleums, ribats, zawiyas, caravansaries, sabils, public baths, and covered markets congested the neighborhoods adjacent to the Noble Sanctuary. In six walks the author escorts the reader past the splendid endowments that stand witness to Jerusalem’s glorious past. Mamluk Architectural Landmarks in Jerusalem invites readers into places of special spiritual and aesthetic significance, in which the Prophet’s mystic Night Journey plays a key role. The Mamluk massive building campaign was first and foremost an act of religious tribute to one of Islam’s most holy cities. A Mamluk architectural trove, Jerusalem emerges as one of the most beautiful cities.

  • SAMBUTAN AIDILFITRI LEBIH TERASA DENGAN HABUAN DARIPADA K'jaan (Bernama 16/12/2001)
    16 DEC 2001 Raya-Rangkuman (Bergambar) SAMBUTAN AIDILFITRI LEBIH TERASA DENGAN HABUAN DARIPADA K'JAAN KUALA LUMPUR, 16 Dis (Bernama) -- Umat Islam di seluruh negara menyambut kedatangan 1 Syawal dengan penuh kesyukuran dan suasana Aidilfitri tahun ini dimeriahkan lagi dengan habuan daripada kerajaan. Ketika dunia Islam bergolak dengan pelbagai ancaman luar khususnya di Palestin dan Afghanistan, umat Islam di negara ini menyambut ketibaan Syawal dengan penuh kesyukuran atas keamanan dan kestabilan di negara ini. Selepas menunaikan ibadah puasa sepanjang Ramadan, masyarakat Islam memulakan Hari Lebaran dengan menunaikan solat Aidilfitri di masjid-masjid di seluruh negara. Selepas bersolat, umat Islam daripada pelbagai lapisan umur, mengambil peluang untuk bersalam-salaman dan bermaaf-maafan bagi memperkukuhkan silaturahim sesama Muslimin. Di Masjid Negara di sini, Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Sirajuddin Syed Putra Jamalullai serta Raja Permaisuri Agong Tuanku Fauziah Tengku Abdul Rashid berkenan menunaikan sembahyang solat bersama masyarakat di ibu kota. Baginda, berpakaian baju Melayu berwarna merah jambu, berangkat ke Masijd Negara pada pukul 8.30 pagi dan diiringi oleh Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad dan timbalannya Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. Turut sama menunaikan solat Adilfitri ialah beberapa Menteri Kabinet termasuk Menteri Pertahanan Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak dan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim. Selepas mendengar khutbah yang disampaikan oleh Mufti Wilayah Persekutuan Datuk Mohd Hashim Yahya, baginda bersalam-salaman dengan jemaah. Sebelum itu, Dr Mahathir dan isteri Datin Seri Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali berkunjung ke Istana Negara bagi mengucapkan "Selamat Hari Raya" kepada baginda berdua. Suasana Aidilfitri di seluruh negara tahun ini lebih meriah apabila sebelum ini kerajaan memberi imbuhan sebanyak RM100 seorang kepada golongan miskin di negara ini, bonus minima RM1,000 kepada lebih 900,000 kakitangan kerajaan dan RM200 sebagai bonus kepada pesara kerajaan.
