Abstract

This research reveals that both candidates in the 2019 Presidential Election engaged in Islamic populist movements in an attempt to garner sympathy and increase their respective electability. The symbolic convergence of Prabowo's campaign is evident in the institutional nature of the fantasy theme woven by his team, with actions that signify the fundamentalism of Prabowo's camp. In contrast, the fantasy theme constructed by Jokowi's team is notably moderate, as exemplified by the phrase "Jokowi Loves Santri," which gave rise to the narrative that Jokowi is a moderate figure. Consequently, a shared rhetorical vision was formed, positioning Jokowi as a moderate individual, with his disseminators acting more individually, unlike Prabowo's camp, which often coalitions with Islamic mass bases.

Abstract

This article examines Hikayat Raja Pasai, a fourteenth century Malay text, to understand the emergence of a global network that played a crucial role in the Islamization of Malay-Archipelago. This text provides us with a historical narrative on the engagement of northern Sumatra, the site of Samudra Pasai kingdom, with Islamic global networks, particularly international Muslim merchants. This network became the primary influence in the thought of both ruling elites and people of the kingdom. This article emphasizes that this global network provided momentum for the Malay people to embrace a new religious faith, Islam, amidst an emerging cosmopolitan lifestyle and to obtain economic advantage out of their involvement in the burgeoning maritime commerce. The Hikayat Raja Pasai, therefore, helps explain the continued growth of Islam over the course of northern Sumatra’s history. Keywords: Hikayat Raja Pasai, Islam, Global Network, Trade, Politics, Samudra Pasai.
