Tesis: Sufism in Indonesia : an analysis of Nawawi al-Banteni's Salalim al-Fudala
This thesis is an attempt to understand the views of Nawawi al-Banteni on the subject of Sufism, especially as they appear in his work Salalim al-Funtala, a commentary on the Hidayat al-Adhkiya ilä Tariq al-Awliya of Zayn al-Din al-Malibari.
By observing the existence and the development of Sufism in Indonesia and the carcer of Nawawi al-Banteni, the thesis tries to achieve a better understanding of his contribution in the field. Earlier studies have tended to discuss him and his works in general, whereas this study concentrates more specifically on al-Banteni's Sufi thought through his comments on the subject.
Another question that is raised is that of Nawawi al-Banteni's originality in his commentary on the Hidayat al-Adhkiya" nf al-Malihari. Finally, the important point is made that Nawawi does not seem to have been influenced by either heterodox or pre-Islamic concepts, which were relatively powerful in Indonesia of his day. On the other hand he had a great influence on the people of his country, especially in his home town Banten, in terms of the development of both nationalism and Islamic education in Indoncaia.
