Abstract

The study examines the symbolic meaning of the letter Alif and the esoterism teaching in it, as reflected in Sosrokartono’s calligraphy and Insan al-Kamil’s concept of Al-Jilli.  The purpose of this study is to present the philosophical similarities and differences between the Middle Eastern Sufis and the Indonesian Sufis, which are found in different mediums. The study used library research and hermeneutical approach. The data were analysed using text interpretation from Jorge Garcia and esoteric symbolism from Ferdinand de Saussure. The findings of this study include: first, the letter Alif in the calligraphy holds the meaning of philosophical sufism that aligns with the concept of Insan Al-Kamil by Abdul Karim Al-Jilli. Second, the letter Alif for both Sosrokartono and Al-Jilli holds three dimensional meanings; oneness, strength, and wisdom. This research enriches the repertoire of philosophical Sufism by presenting the meaning of material objects in the form of calligraphy art.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji relasi keraton dan pesantren di Nusantara, khususnya di tanah Jawa. Jenis penelitian adalah penelitian kepustakaan. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan historis-antropologis. Teori yang dipakai untuk menganalisa adalah teori Historical-Shift. Temuan dalam penelitian ini adalah bahwa relasi keraton dan pesantren mempunyai pola hubungan yang erat dalam sejarah. Hubungan tersebut bisa dilacak dari sejak munculnya Kesultanan Islam Demak Bintoro yang mewarisi kekuatan Kerajaan Majapahit dalam memegang hegemoni atas Jawa. Berdirinya Kesultanan Demak erat hubungannya dengan amanah para wali dan pengambil alihan pendidikan (Karsan/Dukuh-Puntren) dari Hindu-Majapahit menjadi Pesantren Islam. Pendirian pesantren sendiri memberikan ruang politik kepada Wali Songo dalam rangka mempercepat penyebaran Islam di Jawa. Keadaan yang hampir sama terjadi di era Mataram Islam. Pesantren dimanfaatkan oleh Sultan Agung dan keluarga Keraton sebagai wadah pendidikan Islam dan pusat mencetak kader-kader pendakwah.
