  • 1 BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Kerajaan Koto Besar
    BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Kerajaan Koto Besar diperkirakan telah ada sejak akhir abad ke-17 Masehi.1 Koto Besar tumbuh dan berkembang bersama daerah-daerah lain yang berada di bekas wilayah Kerajaan Melayu Dharmasraya (Swarnabumhi).2 Daerah-daerah ini merupakan kerajaan kecil yang bercorak Islam dan berafiliasi dengan Kerajaan Pagaruyung, seperti Pulau Punjung yang dikenal sebagai camin taruih (perpanjangan tangan) Pagaruyung untuk daerah Hiliran Batanghari, serta penguasa lokal di ranah cati nan tigo, yaitu Siguntur, Sitiung dan Padang Laweh.3 Koto Besar menjadi satu-satunya kerajaan di wilayah ini yang tidak berpusat di pinggiran Sungai Batanghari.4 Lokasi berdirinya kerajaan-kerajaan tersebut merupakan daerah rantau dalam konsep alam Minangkabau.5 Pepatah adat Minangkabau mengatakan, 1 Merujuk pada tulisan yang tercantum pada stempel peninggalan Kerajaan Koto Besar yang berangkakan tahun 1697 Masehi. 2 Kerajaan Melayu Dharmasraya (Swarnabumhi) adalah sebuah kerajaan yang bercorak Hindu Buddha dan merupakan kelanjutan dari Kerajaan Melayu Jambi yang bermigrasi dari muara Sungai Batanghari. Kerajaan Melayu Dharmasraya hanya bertahan sekitar dua abad (1183 – 1347), setelah dipindahkan oleh Raja Adityawarman ke pedalaman Minangkabau di Saruaso.

  • From Custom to Pancasila and Back to Adat Naples
    1 Secularization of religion in Indonesia: From Custom to Pancasila and back to adat Stephen C. Headley (CNRS) [Version 3 Nov., 2008] Introduction: Why would anyone want to promote or accept a move to normalization of religion? Why are village rituals considered superstition while Islam is not? What is dangerous about such cultic diversity? These are the basic questions which we are asking in this paper. After independence in 1949, the standardization of religion in the Republic of Indonesia was animated by a preoccupation with “unity in diversity”. All citizens were to be monotheists, for monotheism reflected more perfectly the unity of the new republic than did the great variety of cosmologies deployed in the animistic cults. Initially the legal term secularization in European countries (i.e., England and France circa 1600-1800) meant confiscations of church property. Only later in sociology of religion did the word secularization come to designate lesser attendance to church services. It also involved a deep shift in the epistemological framework. It redefined what it meant to be a person (Milbank, 1990). Anthropology in societies where religion and the state are separate is very different than an anthropology where the rulers and the religion agree about man’s destiny. This means that in each distinct cultural secularization will take a different form depending on the anthropology conveyed by its historically dominant religion expression. For example, the French republic has no cosmology referring to heaven and earth; its genealogical amnesia concerning the Christian origins of the Merovingian and Carolingian kingdoms is deliberate for, the universality of the values of the republic were to liberate its citizens from public obedience to Catholicism.

  • The Genealogy of Muslim Radicalism in Indonesia A
    The Genealogy of Muslim Radicalism in Indonesia THE GENEALOGY OF MUSLIM RADICALISM IN INDONESIA A Study of the Roots and Characteristics of the Padri Movement Abd A’la IAIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya, Indonesia Abstract: This paper will trace the roots of religious radicalism in Indonesia with the Padri movement as the case in point. It argues that the history of the Padri movement is complex and multifaceted. Nevertheless, it seems to be clear that the Padri movement was in many ways a reincarnation of its counterpart in the Arabian Peninsula, the Wahhabi> > movement, even though it was not a perfect replica of the latter. While the two shared some similarities, they were also quite different in other respects. The historical passage of the Padris was therefore not the same as that of the Wahhabi> s.> Each movement had its own dimensions and peculiarities according to its particular context and setting. Despite these differences, both were united by the same objective; they were radical in their determination to establish what they considered the purest version of Islam, and both manipulated religious symbols in pursuit of their political agendas. Keywords: Padri movement, fundamentalism, radicalism, Minangkabau, Wahhabism.> Introduction Almost all historians agree that Islam in the Malay Archipelago – a large part of which subsequently became known as Indonesia – was disseminated in a peaceful process. The people of the archipelago accepted the religion of Islam wholeheartedly without any pressure or compulsion. To a certain extent, these people even treated Islam as belonging to their own culture, seeing striking similarities between the new religion and existing local traditions.

    20 Rahmawati Baharuddin Islamic Education In West Sumatra: Historical Point Of View By Rahmawati Baharuddin Abstract Paper ini berfokus pada sejarah singkat pertumbuhan dan perkembangan pendidikan Islam di Minangkabau sebelum dan sesudah munculnya gerakan pembaharuan Muhammadiyah. Perkembangan pendidikan Islam itu sendiri dimulai berbarengan dengan kedatangan Islam di Sumatera Barat. Gagasan reformis gerakan Muhammadiyah dalam bidang sosial keagamaan pada abad ke-20 memberikan sumbangsih yang besar terhadap perkembangan modemisme Islam di Sumatera Barat dan telah memberikan wama terhadap sistem pendidikan di Indonesia. A. Introduction Many scholars have argued that the rise and growth of Islamic education in one region began with the preaching oflslam which mainly conducted through the medium of education. Mahmud Yunus, 1 a great Indonesian educator, for instance, thought that Aceh, a region located at the northern tip of Sumatra, was the first part of Indonesia whose its inhabitants were converted to Islam. 2 However, scholars do not agree on the exact moment that Islam was introduced into the Indonesian archipelago. This difference of opinion stems from the fact that the factual data on the earliest period of Islam in the archipelago are so scanty. Nevertheless, we can classify their opinions into two categories. The Ulul Albab, Vol. 5 No. 1, 2004 Islamic Education In West Sumatra 21 first group, most of them Dutch scholars, such as Pijnappel, hold the opinion that Islam was first introduced into Indonesia in the twelfth century by Shii.f'f Arabs from Gujarat and Malabar. His opinion was based on the fact that these regions are mentioned so frequently in the early history of the Indonesian archipelago.3 The same holds true for Snouck Hurgronje, who believed that the twelfth century was the most probable date for the lslamization of the Indonesian archipelago.

  • Bab 2 Landasan Teori
    BAB 2 LANDASAN TEORI 2.1. Tinjauan Umum 2.1.1. Letak Geografis Sumatra Barat Secara geografis, Provinsi Sumatera Barat terletak pada garis 00 54’ Lintang Utara sampai dengan 30 30’ Lintang Selatan serta 980 36’ – 1010 53’ Bujur Timur dengan luas wilayah 42.29730 Km2 atau 4.229.730 Ha. Luas perairan laut Provinsi Sumatera Barat kurang lebih 186.500 Km2 dengan jumlah pulau besar dan kecil sekitar 345 pulau. 2.1.2. Kedatangan Majapahit Di Minangkabau Pada tahun 1339 Adityawarman dikirim sebagai uparaja atau raja bawahan Majapahit, sekaligus melakukan beberapa penaklukan yang dimulai dengan menguasai Palembang. Kidung Pamacangah dan Babad Arya Tabanan menyebut nama Arya Damar sebagai bupati Palembang yang berjasa membantu Gajah Mada menaklukkan Bali pada tahun 1343. Menurut Prof. C.C. Berg, tokoh ini dianggapnya identik dengan Adityawarman. Setelah membantu Majapahit dalam melakukan beberapa penaklukan, pada tahun 1347 masehi atau 1267 saka, Adityawarman memproklamirkan dirinya sebagai Maharajadiraja dengan gelar Srimat Sri Udayadityawarman Pratapaparakrama Rajendra Mauli Warmadewa dan menamakan kerajaannya dengan namaMalayapura. Kerajaan ini merupakan kelanjutan dari Kerajaan Melayu sebelumnya, dan memindahkan ibukotanya dari Dharmasraya ke daerah pedalaman (Pagaruyung atau Suruaso). Dengan melihat gelar yang disandang Adityawarman, terlihat dia menggabungan beberapa nama yang pernah dikenal sebelumnya, Mauli merujuk garis keturunannya kepada bangsa Mauli penguasa Dharmasraya, dan gelar Sri Udayadityavarman pernah disandang salah seorang raja Sriwijaya serta menambahkah Rajendra nama penakluk penguasa Sriwijaya, raja Chola dari 3 4 Koromandel. Hal ini tentu sengaja dilakukan untuk mempersatukan seluruh keluarga penguasa di Swarnnabhumi. 2.1.3. Kerajaan Pagaruyung Masa Kebudayaan Islam Sultan Alif Khalifatullah naik tahta sekitar tahun 1560. Beliau merupakan raja (sultan) pertama di Kerajaan Pagaruyung yang memeluk agama Islam.
