Abstract

This study investigates the presence and significance of the Pasai tombstone typology in the Great Mosque of Demak, highlighting its archaeological significance as evidence of historical collaboration between Pasay and Demak in the 16th century to resist Portuguese colonization and establish the city of Jakarta. From all areas studied, 13 tombstones were found with the characteristics of the typology. The existence of this headstone in the cemetery area of the Demak Grand Mosque shows the connection between Demak Raden Trenggono and Pasais Fatahillah Against the Portuguese and the establishment of Jakarta is indeed an alliance between the two groups. This research explores the cultural and religious impact of the Wali Songo's religious and cultural teachings during the period of resistance against colonization, particularly in relation to their influence on the socio-political landscape of Java. In addition, oral histories and local narratives are collected that may shed light on the perceptions and legacies of Wali songo in the context of the resistance against Portuguese colonialism. This work enhances our understanding of regional interactions and cultural exchanges during a critical period in Southeast Asian history.

Abstract

This study explores the historical and religious significance of two Islamic tombstones from the Majapahit era in King King, Tuban, Java. The focus is on Sirajuddin Isa ibn Salahuddin Al Ma'bary's tombstone and an unnamed tombstone in the Mbah Randu complex. Through epigraphic and ornamental analysis, the research reconstructs the history of Islamic propagation in Java between the 13th and 15th centuries. Sirajuddin Isa is identified as a key figure in spreading Islam during the Majapahit period. His tombstone's inscriptions "Seek the Eternal", highlight the emphasis on monotheism and rejection of polytheism, suggesting early implementation of Islamic laws. While the Ornamental motifs like the lotus flower symbolize purity and spiritual enlightenment, blending local and Islamic traditions. The Hijri calendar's role in daily practices is also examined, indicating the integration of Islamic customs into Javanese life. These tombstones serve as historical artifacts illustrating the spread of Islam, the enforcement of Islamic laws, and cultural exchange between Islamic and local traditions in Java, highlighting Sirajuddin Isa's prominent role as an Islamic leader and legal authority during the Majapahit period.
