Abstract

Bustān al-Salāṭīn by Nūr al-Dīn al-Ranīrī (d. 1659) is a leading Malay text on Islamic history. Written in the 17th century in Aceh, one chapter of the Bustān was dedicated to the history of Aceh. This paper discusses how the Bustān described the formation of the sultanate, the rulers who were in power, their political behaviour, and the methods of statecraft they tried to establish. The text shared the emerging intellectual discourse in 17th Century Aceh, in which al-Ranīrī’s reform of Muslims’ religious practices to uphold sharī‘ah-based principles gained its prominence. With the support of his patron, Iskandar Thani (1636-1641), al-Ranīrī’s Islamizing efforts for Aceh are reflected in the Bustān. This paper argues that the Islamic ideals and terms found in the Bustān signify the history of Aceh and profile the patron, which sets Bustān apart from previous Malay texts of historical writing.

Abstract

The Malay language is of great importance in understanding Indonesian society and history. As the root of Indonesia’s national language, Bahasa Indonesia, the language has become part and parcel of the social-political and cultural formation of the diverse communities throughout Indonesia. Also, the role of the Malay language in Indonesian nation building proceeded alongside the historical course of Islamic development there. In line with the development of Islam in parts of Indonesia and the Southeast Asia region at large, Malay emerged as a lingua franca that was widely used as a media of social interaction, political diplomacy, commerce and, more importantly, Islamic expression. This article discusses the history of the Malay language in relation to its role as the language of Indonesian Muslims. The article also examines the contribution that the language has made, through the course of history, in uniting the people into a single nation-state—Indonesia.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v21i3.1219
