Abstract

Sifat dua puluh (twenty attributes of God) is a specific Malay term to convey the doctrine of Sunni tradition in Southeast Asia. Formulated to digest the substance of a renowned book of Yusūf al-Sanūsī, Umm al-Barāhīn, this term began to appear in the 19th century as a leading Islamic theme in the kitab jawi of Malay scholars in Mecca. The scholars translated the book into Malay and expounded its contents in the form of commentaries (sharḥ), a rising style of writing kitab jawi on the doctrine of the period. Malay scholars' use of the term in Mecca was transmitted and then reproduced alongside the printing of kitab jawi in Southeast Asia. This process led the Sunni theology to constitute an Islamic orthodoxy in the region. This article presents a historical analysis of how sifat dua puluh became an established concept of Sunni theology in the Southeast Asian context, putting the mentioned work of al-Sanūsī as the source of the production of Sunni creeds in a popularly vernacular expression of the Muslims in the region.

Abstract

This article discusses the Islamic experiences in two coastal areas of Sumatra, the east and the west coasts, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The discussions focus one the ways the difference in the systems of politics created the necessary condition for the rise of two expressions of Islam. The existence of Malay kingdoms in the east coast appeared to be a leading factor in establishment of the kingdom-oriented Islam, different from the stateless condition of the west coast which gave rise to the initial substance of Islamic civil society. In reference to the concept of knowledge formation, this article underscores the two important points of difference, the leadership styles of ‘ulamā’ (Muslim scholars) in the making of Islam and the language expressions they used in their works (kitabs). As such, the study of two areas demonstrates the fact that the real politics appears to have provided the ‘ulamā’ with circumstantial options to engage in certain settings of discourses.
