Abstract

This study explores the acculturation process between Islam and Minangkabau customs, focusing on the traditional Baralek Tuanku ceremony. Fieldwork was conducted at Pesantren Nurul Yakin in Padang Pariaman, employing qualitative research methods, including observations, interviews, and participation in ceremonies. Data were analysed using thematic and narrative analysis. The study reveals that the acculturation of Islam and Minangkabau customs through Baralek Tuanku occurs in two forms: First, before the conferment of the Tuanku title, where Minangkabau values are institutionalised in the education of the students, particularly through teaching rundiang. Second, during the conferment process, where two elements of Minangkabau customs are involved: niniak mamak (customary leaders) who bestow the customary heirloom title alongside the Tuanku title, and bako (father’s sister) who prepares traditional food for the pesantren teachers. These pesantren inherit the values of the Syattariyah Order, particularly those related to maintaining the harmony between Islam and local culture, as the pesantren are managed by figures from this tarekat. This study offers a conceptual framework for understanding how dual identities can be harmoniously integrated within a community. It enriches the theoretical discourse on acculturation by providing a successful example of cultural and religious amalgamation.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the limited scholarly attention to the role of local scholars in Islamic reform movements in Minangkabau, particularly the contribution of Imam Maulana Abdul Manaf Amin al-Khatib from Batang Kabung, Padang City. Amid the tension between local Islamic traditions—such as surau, Sufi orders, and manuscript culture—and the rise of modern Islamic reform, Imam Maulana emerged as a key figure capable of bridging both worlds. This study aims to describe his biography and socio-religious background, analyze his contributions to Islamic reform, and explain the impact of his religious thought and practices on the Batang Kabung community. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, using document analysis of manuscripts, literature review, and examination of local historical sources. The findings indicate that Imam Maulana played a significant role in educational reform through the development of Madrasah Tarbiyah Islamiyah (MTI), in preserving Islamic intellectual heritage through manuscript production, and in promoting a moderate and socially responsive model of religious leadership. His ideas and practices strengthened the community’s religious identity, harmonized local customs with Islamic teachings, and enabled society to face modernity without losing its traditional roots. This study affirms that Imam Maulana represents an essential model of a local scholar functioning as an agent of Islamic reform in Minangkabau.
