Ajaran ini tersebar terutama di kalangan ahli tarekat  dan para priyayi. Ajaran Martabat Tujuh Shaykh Muhyi bersumber dari kitab al-Tuhfah al-Mursalah karya Shakh Fadl Allah al-Burhanpuri dari India, namun Shaykh Muhyi memiliki penjelasan Martabat Tujuh Tujuh menggunakan bahasa pegon dalam manuskrip Martabat Kang Pipitu dan beberapa naskah koleksi Leiden Library dengan nomor katalog cod. or 7527 dan 7705. Martabat Tujuh merupakan penjelasan dari aspek ontologi yaitu tajalli dhat wujud qadim meliputi ahadiyah, wahdah dan wahidiyah, dan aspek kosmologi yaitu wujud huduts meliputi ‘alam arwah, ‘alam mithal, ‘alam ajsam dan Insan kamil. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan sufistik untuk mengetahui tarekat yang diikuti oleh seorang sufi dan bagaimana karakteristik penafsirannya terhadap Martabat Tujuh. Hasil kajian ini menyimpulkan bahwa Shaykh Muhyi Pamijahan sebagai tokoh sentral dalam penyebaran Martabat Tujuh di Jawa selain mengikuti tarekat Shattariyah dan beberapa terakat lainnya juga mengikuti Tarekat Qadiriyah Naqsabandiyah. Dengan demikian   dapat dipahami bahwa Shaykh Muhyi (w. 1730) sebagai pembawa Tarekat Qadiriyah Naqsabandiyah pertama kali di Nusantara sebelum Shaykh Katib Sambas (w. 1875). Ajaran Martabat Tujuh Shaykh Muhyi memiliki karakteristik penafsiran bercorak Ash’ariyah dengan memilah aspek ontologi yaitu martabat alam qadim (ahadiyah. wahdah. wahidiyah) bersifat tanzih dan aspek kosmologi (alam arwah. mithal, ajsam dan insan) sebagai wujud huduts bersifat tashbih. Selain itu, tetap disiplin dalam pengamalan syariat lahir maupun batin.","PeriodicalId":334035,"journal":{"name":"ISLAM NUSANTARA:Journal for the Study of Islamic History and Culture","volume":"180 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139322144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Today, sustainable development has become the dominant development narrative in 2030 Agenda, a new development paradigm international cooperation discourse, despite criticism of its top-down approach and secular bias. This explorative article discusses the potential of Indonesian Islamic concepts, such as Nahdlatul Ulama’s Islam Nusantara and Fikih Peradaban, to contribute to the sustainable development discourse from an Islamic perspective. By mapping the current intellectual debate on Fikih Peradaban, I demonstrate that Fikih Peradaban is a particularly suited approach as epistemologically and conceptually it occupies a middle ground position that mediates between local and global development paradigms. I further argue that Fikih Peradaban’s focus on the concepts of humanism, humanist Islam (or Islamic humanism), and Islamic legal reasoning in the service of all people regardless of religious affiliation may contribute to its global appeal and effectiveness. The article draws on notes taken at a conference on “Islam Nusantara and World Peace” (February 5, 2023) in Surabaya as well  as notes taken at the first Fikih Peradaban conference (February 6, 2023) in Surabaya. It is also based on a close reading of official material that accompanied the latter conference. Furthermore, I embed the discussion on the nexus between Indonesian Islamic concepts and sustainable development into the broader academic and policy debate on the role of religion within sustainable development. Hence, this article is connected to the research project “Freedom and Development? Religious Actors, Freedom of Religion and Belief, and Sustainable Development” conducted by the German Institute for Global and Area Studies, Hamburg, from 2020 to 2023.

{"title":"The Role of Sufis in Connecting Aceh to the Global Islamic Network in the 17th Century","authors":"Muhammad Affan","doi":"10.47776/islamnusantara.v4i2.700","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47776/islamnusantara.v4i2.700","url":null,"abstract":"In the 17th Century, the Sultanate of Aceh reached its peak. At that time, Aceh was connected to the Islamic world through diplomatic channels and maritime trade. In addition to these political and economic factors, Aceh's connectivity with the Islamic World was also connected through the Sufism network, where Sufis from Aceh sailed to Arabia and several other Muslim regions in order to study. These Sufis then returned to Aceh and established Islamic spiritual centers in Aceh and other Southeast Asian regions. The activities of these Sufis, in turn, helped connect Aceh to the global Islamic network. However, the actual role played by these Sufis in connecting Aceh to the global Islamic network has not been specifically explained because several studies that have been conducted tend to explain the pattern of the ulama network formed by Sufis in a broader scope. So that the more specific role of Sufis in connecting Aceh with the global Islamic network has not received adequate explanation. Based on these issues, this study aims to discuss the role of Sufis in building interconnectivity between Aceh and the global Islamic network in the 17th Century. The main question posed in this study is how the Sufis played their role as agents of connecting Aceh with the international Islamic network in the 17th Century. While, the method used in this study is the historical method where the source search is done through literature study. From the study, it is concluded that Sufis such as Hamzah Fansuri, Syamsuddin as Sumatrani and Shaykh Abdurrauf played an important role in connecting Aceh with the global Islamic network stretching from Southeast Asia to North Africa through wandering and sending students to study at international centers of Sufism in the Middle East. In addition, Sufis also established correspondence with other Sufis in other parts of the Islamic world. In this way, Aceh became connected to the global Islamic network.

Pada masa itu, Aceh telah terhubung dengan Dunia Islam melalui jalur diplomatik dan perdagangan maritim rempah-rempah. Selain karena faktor politik dan ekonomi tersebut, konektivitas Aceh dengan Dunia Islam juga terhubung melalui jaringan sufisme, dimana para sufi dari Aceh berlayar ke Arab dan beberapa wilayah Muslim lainnya dalam kerangka menuntut ilmu. Para sufi ini kemudian kembali lagi ke Aceh dan mendirikan pusat-pusat spiritual Islam di Aceh dan kawasan Asia Tenggara lainnya. Aktivitas para sufi ini, pada gilirannya telah membantu menghubungkan Aceh dengan jaringan Islam global.

The Ismailis, being the oldest Shi’i community in Singapore, had to go through Singapore’s nation-building phase while the Imamis who precipitated after the Iranian revolution already had the building blocks of peaceful relations and may benefit from contemporary laws regarding religious harmony. The misconceived irreconcilability between the two has often been used as an explanation of the region’s turmoil, whenever both communities are involved. This is unsurprising as Sunni-Shi’a “hatred” manifested in the Syrian conflict that started in 2011, the Yemeni civil war that began in 2014, and not to forget the historical sectarian violence that had been going on in the region. Singapore has a unique religio-political setting of religious freedom and harmony. The type of faith-politics that Singapore has is pluralistic to the extent that the laws allow for it and because Singapore’s political culture of faith is free and harmony-seeking. The only impediment to intra-faith harmony between the Sunnis and Shi’a in Singapore is the intrusion of external political sentiments into the local political culture of faith, through the globalisation of religious ideas and ideology. The type of relations between Sunnis and Shi’a in Singapore has been historically peaceful, situated in the larger secular-pluralistic type of politics of faith in Singapore. When political matters of the Middle East are set aside or have no relevance, Sunnis and Shi’a in Singapore are able to live not just in tolerance of each other, but also harmoniously participating in the larger Singapore society.","PeriodicalId":334035,"journal":{"name":"ISLAM NUSANTARA:Journal for the Study of Islamic History and Culture","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128002706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the fact that not all Palestinians are Muslim, religion has been a contributing factor in NU's unwavering support for Palestine. However, there are other dominant factors that have solidified NU's position on this issue, which are explored in this article through qualitative research methods and descriptive analysis of relevant literature and documents. The study examines NU's consistency in supporting Palestinian independence and the attitudes of four NU leaders, namely Abdurrahman Wahid, Hasyim Muzadi, Said Aqiel Siraj, and Yahya Cholil Tsaquf. Although all four leaders support Palestinian independence, their reasons and backgrounds differ, resulting in some controversy and differing mindsets within NU, Indonesian society, and even Arab embassies in Indonesia. The article argues that these differences can be attributed to variations in domestic political conditions that the leaders faced, which influenced their approaches to defending and supporting Palestine. External factors such as diplomatic relationships and non-state actors also played a role in shaping NU's stance on this issue.","PeriodicalId":334035,"journal":{"name":"ISLAM NUSANTARA:Journal for the Study of Islamic History and Culture","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115804536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) can be classify as the largest Islamic organization worldwide, with around 121 million members. NU upholds Pancasila and the unity of diversity, namely religious and cultural pluralism. This is the line of indigenization and Indonesianization of Islam that was propagated by Gus Dur. Gus Yahya's new leadership acknowledged as able to absorb Gus Dur's ideology of tolerance, openness, the middle way, gradualism, pluralism, humanity, and the flexible application of Islamic law (fiqh). Gus Yahya was also able to take charge of Abdurrahman's controversial visit to Israel and has toured to promote dialogue between the two sides. Israelis and Palestinians, believe that “reconciliation and coexistence between them” is one of the keys to peace. That is the reason why Gus Yahya is called as the reincarnation of Gus Dur.
