Java Islam: Relationship of Javanese Culture and Islamic Mystism in the Post-Colonial Study Perspective

Abstract

<pre><em><br /></em></pre><pre><em>This paper examines and shows at the same time about Javanese Islam (Islam Nusantara) which is typical of a few Muslims in the world. The characteristic in question is a combination of Javanese culture (Javanese original religion, Hindu and Buddhist) with the intrinsic dimension of Islam itself. This combination occurs because it is bound by a red thread called mysticism, which is between Javanese mysticism and Islamic mysticism </em><em>as</em><em> a compound. The two conception of mysticism is because the essence of mysticism actually contains the teachings of the unity (tauhid) of God. This encounter through mysticism allows for acculturation between Javanese culture and Islam. This thesis is based on the reconstruction of the thinking of Sufi teachers in the Majelis Shalawat Muhammad in Surabaya and Bojonegoro as a research base. The Sufi masters referred to were placed as sub-alternations which were prevalent in post-colonial studies. As a sub-altern, this paper is believed to better narrate the perpetrators of Islamic mysticism in understanding the dialectic between Islamic mysticism and original Javanese culture or Javanese mysticism itself. Their relations gave birth to what is called Javanese Islam which is typical in Indonesia.</em><em></em></pre><pre><em> </em></pre><pre><em><br /></em></pre><pre><em><br /></em></pre><pre><em><br /></em></pre><pre><em>Makalah ini membahas dan menunjukkan pada saat yang sama tentang Islam Jawa (Islam Nusantara) yang merupakan ciri khas beberapa Muslim di dunia. Karakteristik yang dimaksud adalah kombinasi budaya Jawa (agama asli Jawa, Hindu dan Budha) dengan dimensi intrinsik Islam itu sendiri. Kombinasi ini terjadi karena diikat oleh benang merah yang disebut mistisisme, yaitu antara mistisisme Jawa dan mistisisme Islam yang merupakan senyawa. Dua konsepsi mistisisme adalah karena esensi mistisisme sebenarnya mengandung ajaran persatuan (tauhid) Tuhan. Pertemuan ini melalui mistisisme memungkinkan akulturasi antara budaya Jawa dan Islam. Tesis ini didasarkan pada rekonstruksi pemikiran guru sufi di Majelis Shalawat Muhammad di Surabaya dan Bojonegoro sebagai basis penelitian. Para guru sufi yang disebut ditempatkan sebagai sub-pergantian yang lazim dalam studi pasca-kolonial. Sebagai pengganti, makalah ini diyakini akan lebih baik menceritakan para pelaku mistisisme Islam dalam memahami dialektika antara mistisisme Islam dan budaya Jawa asli atau mistisisme Jawa itu sendiri. Hubungan mereka melahirkan apa yang disebut Islam Jawa yang khas di Indonesia.</em></pre>

Interpreting Ruh as an Ecological Spirituality in Relation to Islam and Java Mysticism

“…This is also what sets it apart from the integrative model of Malay Islam (Sumbulah, 2012). Even, the cultural exchange is not just a dialogueist but also dialectic which brings about ritual and spiritual of Islam Jawa or Islam Nusantara (Muqoyyidin, 2012;Rubaidi, 2019). One of the dialogist model marks a spiritual understanding of ecological behavior.…”

This article is related to Forestry Crime Article 78 section (1) with Article 50 section (1), which states that "anyone who deliberately destroys forest protection infrastructure and facilities is convicted by a maximum of 10 years and a maximum fine of Rp. 5,000,000,000 ' (Ali & Elvany, 2014: 33).…”

Symbolic Meaning of Kesandingan Ritual in Probolinggo

“…Javanese Islam also believes that other aspects of Sharia-centric piety are free to choose (Zainuddin, 2019). The application of the microcosm/macrocosm to cosmologic, religious, social, and political thought transforms the character of mystical Sufi (Herusatoto, 2001), and in the context of mystical Sufi within Javanese Islam (Rubaidi, 2019;Huda, 2020;Rohma, 2020).…”

Sufi Healing Commodification Throughout East Java Urban Environments

“…According to the unabridged dictionary of Bahasa Indonesia, Sufi means the master of ilmu suluk (the master of magical power) (n), the master of Tasawuf (philosophy). In addition, another reference suggested that Sufi comes from Suf (a kind of wool) referred to the lifestyle in which the prophet Muhammad's best friends wore woolen garments (Rabbani & Wirasubrata, 2004;Rubaidi, 2019). In the past, especially in the era of Hasan Basri, one of Ali's students (Ali was Prophet Muhammad's cousin who happened to be his son-in-law) suggested that Ali bumped into seventy people of the prophet's best friends wearing woolen garments and participated in the war of Badar.…”
