ISLAMIZATION IN CENTRAL JAVA IN THE 15TH-16TH CENTURIES: A Historical Study of the Spread of Islamic Teachings by Three Saints
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article unravels the intricacies of the Islamization theory in the archipelago, focusing particularly on Central Java. The dissemination of Islamic teachings in the Javanese region serves as the epicentre for spreading Islam throughout the archipelago. The formation of the Wali (saints) in Java, employing the 5:3:1 ratio, is not merely about the propagation of Islam but is also carefully considered by the Wali in a well-thought-out manner in disseminating Islamic teachings. Central Java emerges as a pivotal point for the spread of Islamic teachings, with three Wali agents successfully disseminating Islam, which was well-received by the wider community. Using the historical method, this article analyzes the pattern of Islamization carried out by these agents in Central Java, succeeding with a periodization at that time. The Islam propagated by these three agents, utilizing a cultural approach, proves capable of transforming the paradigm of the Central Javanese society to embrace Islam without encountering conflict and warfare, but rather through peaceful means.
