Pesantren Culture and Sufism in the Novel Pejuang-Pejuang Kali Pepe by Djamil Suherman

This article departs from a novel with an ethnographic, educational, and sufistic background. However, the integration of the three literary colors is not easy to find so a new approach is needed to analyze it. To answer this, researchers present ethnopedagosufistik. Ethnopedagosufistik is education based on local wisdom with the teachings of Divine values as a manifestation of Divine humanity. This is manifested in the form of a pesantren. Pesantren as one of the largest and oldest Islamic education institutions and values in Indonesia certainly has a set of values and norms that are adopted by the community and maintained from time to time. This interpretation discusses the novel PejuangPejuang Kali Pepe by DjamilSuherman: Ethnopedagosufistict Perspective. In this paper two main things are expressed, namely: the culture of pesantren as an educational institution and the four stages that must be passed by humans to reach makrifat, namely: distortion, concentration, illumination or kasyaf, and perfect humans. These five things are manifestations of Divine humanity that can be used as the basis of human life to behave well, to be religious, and always uphold cultural values that are inherited from ancestors, especially pesantren culture as an educational institution.
