Abstract

This paper discusses the on-going process of re-Islamisation in Java. In the context of re-Islamisation process, a Muslim is expected to be a pious one, both from the aspect of belief, knowledge, and practice. The process is characterized by the intensification of Islamic ritual practice and the enforcement of Islamic norms in various aspects of life. Additionally, it is accompanied by the deterioration of animism—as represented by amulets, heirlooms and shamanism—which are popular among abangan communities. Amulet is a peculiar feature in the belief and life system of Javanese society, namely the belief in the magical objects used by the owner to gain power, convenience, and magnificence. In Surakarta, the phenomenon of the decline of ‘magical’ amulets is perceived as the conversion process from abangan to santri. Yet it is a dissimilar kind of conversion compared to the previous ones.It reaffirms that in Java, Islamisation is an unending process nuanced by the volatility of socio-political and cultural dynamics. Artikel ini membahas proses reislamisasi di masyarakat Jawa yang saat ini masihterus berlangsung.

再伊斯兰化:从阿班甘到圣特里的亚文化转换
本文讨论了爪哇岛正在进行的重新伊斯兰化进程。在重新伊斯兰化的过程中,无论是从信仰、知识还是实践方面,穆斯林都应该是虔诚的。这一过程的特点是强化伊斯兰仪式实践,并在生活的各个方面执行伊斯兰规范。此外,它还伴随着万物有灵论的恶化——以护身符、传家宝和萨满教为代表——这些在阿班甘社区很流行。护身符是爪哇社会信仰和生活体系中的一个独特特征,即对拥有者用来获得权力、便利和华丽的神奇物品的信仰。在苏拉卡塔,“魔法”护身符的衰落现象被认为是从阿班甘到桑特里的转变过程。然而,与之前的转变相比,这是一种不同的转变。它重申,在爪哇,伊斯兰化是一个无休止的过程,因社会政治和文化动态的波动而变得微妙。本文讨论了在当前持续的爪哇社会中的再屠杀过程。重塑是穆斯林在信仰、知识或宗教无知方面变得更加伊斯兰的过程。重建的标志是加强伊斯兰教的仪式忏悔,并在生活的各个方面维护伊斯兰规范。与此同时,他的母亲有万物有灵论的信仰,比如对护身符、遗产和经济中的强奸的信仰。灵魂是爪哇社会信仰体系中最重要的特征之一,即对主人用来获得力量、舒适和生命荣耀的记忆事物的信任。在苏拉卡塔,有一种社区建筑留下护身符的现象,作为从兄弟转变为圣人的过程的一部分。这是一个与转换不同的新转换。它表明,作为一个进程,爪哇的伊斯兰进程继续遵循着爪哇正在发展的社会政治和文化动态。

期刊介绍: Indonesian Journal of Islam and Muslim Societies (IJIMS): This journal should coverage Islam both as a textual tradition with its own historical integrity and as a social reality which was dynamic and constantly changing. The journal also aims at bridging the gap between the textual and contextual approaches to Islamic Studies; and solving the dichotomy between ‘orthodox’ and ‘heterodox’ Islam. So, the journal invites the intersection of several disciplines and scholars. In other words, its contributors borrowed from a range of disciplines, including the humanities and social sciences.
