Abstract

This study investigates the evolution of Malay camphor hunting (Dryobalanops aromatica) and the factors that have shaped its practices from the pre-Islamic period to the present. It examines how knowledge, religious beliefs, and societal changes influenced camphor hunting methods. An exploratory research approach was used, combining document analysis and field studies. Secondary data included historical texts and bibliographic research, while primary data was collected through interviews with camphor plantation owners, cultural practitioners in Barus, and botany experts from the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM). The research identifies key changes in camphor hunting practices across three periods: pre-Islamic, post-Islamic, and modern. In earlier times, the practice was led by shamans and spiritual healers who performed superstitious rituals, including sacrifices, to seek permission from forest spirits. However, with the spread of Islam, camphor hunting evolved. The Islamic approach emphasized tauhid (the oneness of God), replacing superstitious practices with prayers and salutations to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This shift marked a move away from rituals that involved blood sacrifices or idol worship. In modern times, the scientific approach to camphor hunting focuses on understanding the ecology, classification, and sustainable management of camphor trees, promoting practices that align with environmental conservation. This approach dismisses superstition, highlighting the importance of empirical knowledge. In conclusion, while camphor hunting remains rooted in tradition, the Islamic and scientific approaches offer a more ethical, practical, and sustainable path. These changes reflect intellectual progress, aligning traditional practices with Islamic teachings and modern scientific understanding. The study also underscores that superstitions associated with camphor hunting are unfounded, further demonstrating the evolution of the practice towards a more rational and responsible approach. Abstrak Kajian ini menyelidik evolusi amalan pemburuan kapur barus (Dryobalanops aromatica) dalam kalangan masyarakat Melayu dan faktor-faktor yang membentuk amalan ini dari zaman pra-Islam hingga ke masa kini. Ia mengkaji bagaimana pengetahuan, kepercayaan agama, dan perubahan masyarakat mempengaruhi kaedah pemburuan kapur barus. Pendekatan penyelidikan eksploratori digunakan dengan menggabungkan analisis dokumen dan kajian lapangan. Data sekunder termasuk teks sejarah dan analisis bibliografi, manakala data primer diperoleh melalui wawancara dengan pemilik ladang kapur barus, pengamal budaya di Barus, dan pakar botani dari Institut Penyelidikan Perhutanan Malaysia (FRIM). Penyelidikan ini mengenal pasti perubahan utama dalam amalan pemburuan kapur barus merentasi tiga tempoh: pra-Islam, pasca-Islam, dan moden. Pada zaman dahulu, amalan ini dikendalikan oleh dukun dan penyembuh spiritual yang melakukan ritual berunsur khurafat, termasuk pengorbanan manusia dan haiwan untuk mendapatkan izin dari roh hutan. Namun, dengan kedatangan Islam, pemburuan kapur barus mengalami perubahan. Pendekatan Islam menekankan tauhid (keesaan Tuhan), menggantikan amalan khurafat dengan doa dan selawat ke atas Nabi Muhammad (SAW). Perubahan ini menandakan peralihan daripada ritual pengorbanan darah atau penyembahan berhala. Pada zaman moden, pendekatan saintifik dalam pemburuan kapur barus memberi tumpuan kepada pemahaman ekologi, klasifikasi, dan pengurusan lestari pokok kapur barus, dengan menekankan amalan yang selaras dengan pemeliharaan alam sekitar. Pendekatan ini menolak unsur-unsur khurafat dan mengutamakan pengetahuan empirik Kesimpulannya, walaupun pemburuan kapur barus masih berakar umbi dalam tradisi, pendekatan Islam dan saintifik menawarkan jalan yang lebih beretika, praktikal, dan lestari. Perubahan ini mencerminkan kemajuan intelektual yang selaras dengan ajaran Islam dan pengetahuan saintifik moden.

Abstract

Malay camphor (Dryobalanops aromatica) has played a significant role in the economy, Malay culture, and international trade since ancient times. It has been used in medicine, religious rituals, and diplomatic relations between major empires. Known as al-Kafur in the Quran and Hadith, it was also referred to as camphor by European traders. However, after the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, Malay Camphor became increasingly marginalized when Chinese Camphor (Cinnamomum camphora, also known as Xiangzhang (樟树)) replaced it due to its lower cost. In 1903, the production of synthetic camphor, based on the chemical formula of Chinese Camphor (C10H16O), was patented as camphor, while the chemical formula of Malay Camphor (C10H18O) was designated as borneol, leading to confusion in scientific studies, Malay scholarship, and Islamic studies. This study examines the differences between Malay Camphor and Chinese Camphor and aims to determine which type is actually referenced in the Quran and Islamic history. A qualitative approach was employed, involving a literature review, analysis of Quranic and Hadith interpretations, and interviews with historians, botanists, and cultural practitioners in Barus. The findings indicate that Malay Camphor has a more fragrant aroma, a cooling effect, refreshing, free from harm, non-toxicity, and high quality. It is also edible and can be used as a flavoring agent—aligning with the characteristics of al-Kafur in Islamic interpretation. However, trade monopolies and terminological errors have obscured its identity in modern history. This study confirms that al-Kafur in Islam refers to Malay Camphor and highlights the importance of correcting terminological errors to ensure that camphor is associated with Dryobalanops aromatica rather than Xiangzhang.

Abstract

This study examines the political struggle for local languages under the Arab dominance during the Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates. It explores how the expansion of Arabic influence, driven by the spread of Islam, shaped the linguistic landscape in the territories of the Islamic Empire. The research analyzes the balance between the adoption of Arabic as a language of governance, religion, and science, while also examining the persistence and development of local languages. Through a historical approach, this study highlights the efforts to preserve and promote local languages in the face of Arabization, particularly in regions such as Khorasan, Persia, and the Maghreb. The study further investigates the role of local elites, including Persian and Berber rulers, in fostering a cultural and linguistic renaissance. It concludes that while Arabic became dominant in the political and religious spheres, local languages continued to thrive, contributing to a rich linguistic and cultural diversity that shaped the Islamic world. This enduring tension between Arabic and local languages underlines the complex dynamics of language, power, and identity during the early Islamic period.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyze the relationship between nationalism and historical awareness. The method used in this study employs a literature review with specific steps. The findings of this research indicate that the downfall of the Ottoman Empire is the result of complex dynamics, involving the roles of intellectuals, government policies, the paradox of reforms, poor political language, and the influence of the Young Turks movement. From the era of Mahmud II to the collapse of the absolute rule of the Sultan, the shift in the foundational values of the state from Islam to nationalist identity reflects the challenges of a transformation that was not always successful. The incompatibility between reformists and the majority of the Muslim population, particularly in the political communication of the Sultan, becomes a key factor complicating the achievement of consensus. This research provides profound insights into the complexity of the history of the Ottoman Empire, emphasizing the importance of comprehensively understanding social, cultural, and political aspects in analyzing the decline of an empire. Consequently, a more comprehensive understanding of these events can offer valuable lessons in detailing and comprehending the dynamics that shape historical changes.
