Abstract

This article discusses the teaching of the seven stages (martabat tujuh) in the 18th century, which had previously developed and became controversial in the Nusantara region since the 17th century. The seven stages are a central topic in philosophical Sufi teachings. The article's primary focus is the response of Muḥammad Zain ibn Faqīh Jalāluddīn al-Āsyī (d. 1783 CE), as articulated in his translation and commentary on the book Umm al-Barāhīn. Although the book he translated and commented on pertains to creed (aqīdah), he interjected his views regarding the seven stages. Using the socio-intellectual and historical approach, this study illustrates how Muḥammad Zain established the Sunni-Ash'ārī creed. The doctrine of the seven stages is complex, and finding competent scholars to explain it is challenging. However, Muḥammad Zain cautiously evaluates the proponents of the doctrine of the unity of existence, which forms the basis of the seven stages, such as Ibn Arabī and ‘Abd Karīm al-Jīlī. He even sharply criticizes those who mislead figures like Ibrāhim al-Kurānī, Aḥmad al-Qushāshī, and ‘Abdurraūf al-Fansūrī. Muḥammad Zain's views also reflect the dominance of the Sunni-Ash'ari creed, indirectly impacting the decline of philosophical Sufi trends in Aceh, particularly and in the Malay territory generally.

Abstract

Studies on Southeast Asian Islam tend to analyze the culture of landed population rather than ocean and littoral-based dwellers. When in fact, the ocean landscape is more extensive and its culture has harbored many dramatic events in the course of human history. Through oceans and their surrounding places of cultural formation, Islam has grown and developed with local cultures in the mutual relation. This study attempts to identify manifestations of Islam among Southeast Asian seafarers Muslim of archipelago in their daily life and historical context. By investigating the experience of Eastern Indonesian seafarers such as the Bugis, Makasar, Mandar, Buton and Bajo people who have interacted with ocean life extensively, this study probes the process of Islamization and identifies the various ideas, practices, meanings and world-views of the Sea People in forging Islam and their culture. Based on the experience of Muslim agents who had a strong maritime ethos and focus on trade and proselytization in playing their social role, Islam and maritime culture have seemingly constituted two good relations to each other. The different reception and negotiation of Islam in maritime culture among Nusantara ethnic groups is interesting to analyze and help to conceptualize ‘Maritime Islam’ which has not been sufficiently studied by scholars to date. By combining secondary sources and field findings, this study explores the world-view of Nusantara Muslims and underscores the fact that Islam is not a single entity, but a plural and diverse phenomena.

Abstract

Mahmood Kooria. 2022. Islamic law in Circulation: Shāfiʿī Texts across the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.Mahmood Kooria’s Islamic Law in Circulation examines the development of postclassical Islamic law pertaining to Shafi’ism in the eastern Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean. Using the nodal point of Minhāj al-ṭālibīn, authored by 13th-century Damascene jurist Yaḥyā bin Sharaf al-Nawawī, this book circumnavigates the major narratives of Shāfiʿī legal circulation over a millennium. Based on this Mamluk-era text, Kooria traces the formation of the legal oceanic community by elucidating its enormous intertextual and intellectual networks and ramifications. The main argument of Kooria’s book is that historical Shāfiʿīsm in the postclassical Islamic communities took place not by center-periphery coercion or state conquest, but through cross-cultural negotiations between scholars and itinerant traders in maritime milieux throughout Africa, Arabia, and Asia.

Abstract This 2025 special issue of Islam Nusantara: Journal for the Study of Islamic History and Culture, collaboratively organized with the Cheng Ho Cultural Museum, presents a multidisciplinary exploration of the historical and contemporary dimensions of Sino-Nusantara relations. Through five thematic lenses, maritime routes, Islamization, artistic heritage, culinary history, and geopolitical dynamics, the featured articles employ diverse methodologies ranging from ethnography and historiography to international relations theory. Collectively, they challenge reductionist narratives by highlighting the integral role of Chinese Muslim communities, the hybridity of cultural expressions, and the enduring legacy of inter-civilizational encounters. The issue reframes Islam Nusantara as a product of layered, continuous negotiation, demonstrating how historical connectivity informs both cultural identity and modern geopolitical frameworks. Ultimately, it advocates for an adaptive, inclusive understanding of this shared past to envision more cooperative futures.
