Keislaman Suku Baduy Banten: Antara Islam dan Slam Sunda Wiwitan

Abstract

The focus of this research is to uncover Islamic life of Baduy people, who are divided into three: Baduy Dalam(internal Baduy) which is called Tangtu, and Baduy Luar (external Baduy)which is divided into two tribes i.e. Panampingand Dangka. Compared to other first two Baduys, Baduy Dangka is more intensive in having Islamization. However, in fact, all Baduys have close relations to Islam, due to their original principle the so-called Sunda Wiwitan, or Slam Sunda Wiwitan. Nevertheless, Sunda Wiwitan (Slam Sunda Wiwitan) is still simple and sincretic. Even though one of Baduy is Islamizing itself, the relationship with other Baduys is respectable, and religious toleration in between them is well-mannered as well.
