Abstract

This study aims to discuss the meaning of Repen Ripangi as a literary narrative manuscript of Adipati Panji Suryakusuma, Regent of Semarang which was then composed in the form of macapat song by Panji Jayasubrata. By placing it in the context of social and political history in Java in the nineteenth century, the text reveals the tension between the two social elites during the colonial period in a form of narrative poetry. This research used qualitative method with representation theory. The results show that the writing of Repen Ripangi in the form of narrative poetry was not merely an aesthetic expression of the author Javanese priayi, but also a means of representation which goal is the stigmatization of Kiai Ahmad Arrifai as a kiai who brings apprehension in society. In addition, another goal of the representation in Repen Ripangi was to strengthen of the penghulu as one of religious authorities in Java during the colonial period and the defense of priyai interests and their political patrons, namely the colonial government in Java.

Abstract

Kitab Takhyirah is a tarjumah book comprises of Kiai Ahmad Rifa'i Kalisalak's thoughts on Islam from its various aspects, such as 'aqidah, shari'ah, and akhlaq. The book consists about ideas that can be considered provocative in the context of Islamic thinking in the nineteenth century especially in Java and generally in Nusantara. Through Takhyirah, Kiai Ahmad Rifa'i has disseminated his notions on the unification of the various doctrinal aspects of Islam. He is different from the general ulama who tend to separate one aspect of Islam with other aspects. For example, Kiai Ahmad Rifa'i argued that Islamic syariah includes usul (akidah aspect), fiqh (Islamic law aspect), and tasawuf (akhlak and spiritual aspect).DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v19i1.372

Abstract

This article delves into a manuscript of Nazam Tarekat written by Kiai Ahmad ar-Rifai Kalisalak. So far, there has been no study related to Kiai Ahmad ar-Rifai Kalisalak which used Nazam Tarekat as the primary source. The research on this manuscript and its social context highlights the special nature of Kiai Ahmad ar-Rifai’s teachings on Sufism, such as his attitude toward Javanese traditional leaders who have abandoned morality. The other special feature of his teachings on Sufism is that they show the determination of alim adil based on fiqh as the qualification for Sufi teachers. The analysis of this alim adil concept as the qualification for Sufi teachers, put into the dynamics of socio-religious movements in 19th century Java, reveals that besides being a qualification for teachers of Sufism, alim adil also became the ideology for the social protest movement against Dutch colonialization in Java. The strength of the fiqh factor in the concept of alim adil indicates that Kiai Ahmad ar-Rifai Kalisalak’s movement was far from messianic-millenarianism.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v23i3.3716

Abstract

This research aims to examine the independence of Habib Salim bin Jindan (1906-1969) in responding to religious practices in Indonesia in the 20th Century, particularly regarding the legality of bodily movements during dhikr and the permissibility of constructing tomb structures. One religious issue of the 20th Century was the religious criticism involving two groups of Muslims: the traditionalists and the modernists. The traditionalist camp was considered more accommodating towards existing religious practices, whereas the modernist Muslims took a contrasting stance. To date, studies on this issue have primarily focused on the two critical typologies: traditionalists and modernists. Traditionalist Muslims, based on Imam Shāfi’i’s concept, categorize innovations (bid‘ah) into two types: good and bad. In contrast, modernist Muslims, following Imam Mālik’s concept, regard all forms of bid‘ah as harmful, with those who practice it destined for punishment in hell. In his work al-Ibānah fī Tārīkh al-Sunnah, Habib Salim conducts independent religious criticism, without aligning with either the traditionalist or modernist paradigms. This article is a qualitative study employing a literature review, with philological and socio-intellectual approaches relevant to the Indonesian context in the 20th century. The research uncovers several findings. First, modernist Muslims tend to be rigid and strict in responding to religious practices within society, while traditionalist Muslims are more accommodating. Second, Habib Salim, as a scholar from the traditionalist circle, was critical of certain religious practices. Third, this ḥadramī figure developed an independent theory of bid‘ah criticism, meaning he did not follow the ideological currents of either traditionalist or modernist Muslims. Fourth, this neutral stance allowed Habib Salim to adopt a more moderate perspective when addressing differences of opinion.

Abstract

This article aims to reveal the discourse on the resistance of two Javanese ulama who were victims of the Dutch colonial politics of exile in the 19th Century. This study uses several letter manuscripts written by Kiai Ahmad Arrifai Kalisalak and Kiai Hasan Maolani Kuningan from their exile as primary sources. The letters addressed to his family and followers in Java were written in Javanese with the Pegon script. Through historical studies and discourse analysis, this study finds that the Dutch colonial politics of exile was not able to dampen the resistance of the ulama. The writing of letters from exile by Kiai Ahmad Arrifai Kalisalak and Kiai Hasan Maolani was intended to compete with the colonial powers, producing heretical discourses and disturbing public order as a pretext to banish them. Thus, this article concludes that the two ulama did from their exile was a new mode of resistance against colonialism.

Abstract

This study examines the construction of the concept of bid‘ah in the manuscript al-Ibānah fī Tārīkh al-Sunnah by Habib Salim bin Jindan as a response to traditionalist and reformist debates in early twentieth-century Indonesia. Its aim is to trace how Habib Salim’s eclectic perspective emerged through the interplay of hadith authority, Ba‘Alawi genealogical tradition, and engagement with Islamic reformist discourse. The primary data are drawn from al-Ibānah, particularly sections addressing the definition of bid‘ah, additions to prescribed religious practices, and ritual examples such as bodily movements during dhikr, ḥaul commemorations, and non-canonical prayers (Raghā’ib and ʿĀshūrā’). The study employs philological methods to examine the structure and textual presentation of the manuscript, alongside a socio-intellectual historical approach to contextualize al-Ibānah within the development of Indonesian Islamic thought. The analysis reveals that the manuscript advances a framework of bid‘ah that does not fully align with either traditionalist or reformist paradigms. Habib Salim challenges claims from both camps through more flexible classifications and hadith-based argumentation. The findings revise prevailing understandings of Hadrami scholars, who have often been positioned dichotomously in historical narratives. The article’s contribution lies in its reading of religious manuscripts as sources of discourse, its explanation of the intellectual authority of Hadrami sayyids, and its reframing of the dynamics of religious critique within the intellectual history of Indonesian Islam.

Abstract

Qasidah li al-Shibyan, a theological poem by Syaikh Sholih Tsaniy preserved within the Indonesian Islamic manuscript tradition, has not previously undergone critical editing (tahqiq) or scholarly examination. Existing studies on the author’s works have primarily focused on Qasidah fi al-Shaum, leaving his theological writings largely unexplored. This study aims to produce a critical edition of Qasidah li al-Shibyan, identify and correct scribal errors, and examine the text's theological teachings. Employing a philological approach, the research involved manuscript identification, inventory, description, comparison, and textual criticism of two digitized manuscripts (DS 0097 00052 and DS 0097 00058) preserved at the Qomaruddin Institute, Gresik. The comparative analysis revealed various orthographic and scribal variations, particularly inconsistencies in hamzah usage and the substitution of ta’ marbutah with haa’. These variants reflect common practices in Arabic manuscript transmission rather than substantive differences in meaning or doctrine. Based on textual quality and completeness, Manuscript A was selected as the base text for the critical edition. The findings demonstrate that the qasidah primarily expounds the fifty tenets of Islamic faith (‘Aqa’id al-Khamsin), encompassing the obligatory, impossible, and permissible attributes of God and His messengers. This study provides the first critical edition of Qasidah li al-Shibyan and offers new insights into the transmission of Sunni theological teachings, manuscript culture, and Islamic intellectual traditions in the Indonesian archipelago.
