Abstract

Muhammad Salih Darat is a Javanese ulama who is known for his Pegon Islamic texts—texts on Islamic knowledge written in Arabic script but using Javanese language. He did that after he learned various branches of Islamic knowledge with a number of respected ulama both in Java and Mecca. The significance of his works lay not only on the fact that he delineates Islamic knowledge of theology (tawḥīd), Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), Islamic mysticism (taṣawwuf) and exegesis of the Qur’an (tafsīr) in local Javanese language but also on his insistence and defense that such texts are as authoritative as Arabic ones. Salih argues that to be a good Muslim and to receive God’s mercy is not conditional on one’s ability to speak and understand Arabic but on one’s observance of religious obligations with sufficient knowledge that one acquires from authoritative Islamic texts in any language.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v20i2.388

Abstract

This article, particularly the discussion on pesantrens, shows that only tariqa which supports fiqh is acceptable to and practiced by kiai and santri. This contradicts Trimingham's argument that Indonesians prefer heterodox mysticism. Comparing Muslims in Africa and Indonesia, Trimingham argues that Muslims in Indonesia place more emphasis on "thinking than upon acting" and therefore "speculative mysticism" is prevalent in this countryDOI: 10.15408/sdi.v13i2.568
