Bainal - Tsaqaafah Wad - diin

Hidayah hut tonight after Isya'.

Ajimukti had just come out to meet Manan as well Sobri who seemed to be relaxing in the pesantren yard with other students when his phone rang.

"I'll pick up the phone soon." Say Ajimukti to everything on the page, then stand up and slightly move away.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mother. What's the night like this phone?" Ask Ajimukti when the call has been received.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Mas. Is Mas Aufa busy?" Asked someone from across, the voice of such a girl sounded very soft.

"Not really. This is Mas just finished studying ba'da Isya'. What's the matter?" Ask Ajimukti again.

"Emmm, nothing at all, Mas. This happens to be me again in Jogja is also the same budhe." Sahut the girl across from it later.

"Are you the same Sibu?" Ask Ajimukti afterwards.

"Yes, Mas. Would you like to talk to Budhe?" Ask the girl across the phone later.

"No, Sister. I just called Sibu. But Sibu didn't say you were there. When did you get there?" Ask Ajimukti a moment later.

"Emmm, maybe that was the time Mas Aufa called, I haven't arrived. My man hasn't been there half an hour." The girl again.

"Oh, pantesans. Sibu also did not say. By the way, what are you doing to Jogja? Is it the same Mr Lek?" Ask Ajimukti later.

"Yes the same, Mas. It just so happened that my father was on a one-week leave. But my plan is to follow them there. Can you?" Say the girl with the end of a question.

Here, Ajimukti slightly frowned, "Where yes, Dik. There are no women here. The dormitory will also be less than two to three months. Are you okay?" Ask Ajimukti later.

"Yes, Budhe told me the truth. But I have a plan, Mom. Let's just let it go." The girl sounded a little laugh.

"Emmm, yasudah then. Coincidentally here there is the room of his daughter Pak Kyai who takes care of this pesantren. Later while here, you can wear." Ajimukti said after that, although he actually wanted the room to be used by Habiba in the end, even during his stay in Ndalem, he never once entered the room. He always locked the room.

"OK, Mum. When I leave, I will tell you, Mas." The girl sounded very happy.

"She just call me." Sahut Ajimukti flat.

Soon the call was ended and Ajimukti returned to his friends in the pesantren page.

"Copy rien, Gus." Say Sobri while presenting a glass of black coffee that is still hot on Ajimukti.

"Thank you, Kang." Ajimukti.

"Who's on the phone, Jik?" Ask Manan later.

"Oh, that, Nan. My sister who happened to play at home." Sahut Ajimukti while lighting a cigarette.

"Sister? Aren't you an only child, Jik?" Tanya Manan was astonished.

"The son is my Mr. Lek, Nan. He's my sister Sambangan Kakung from my mother's side." Obviously Ajimukti after.

Manan just nodded.

"The son of Mr Lek Sarjito, huh, Gus?" Sobri asked interrupted.

Ajimukti nodded, "Right, Kang."

"What's up, Gus? How does it look like he's even looking agitated?" Tanya Sobri read Ajimukti's facial expression.

Ajimukti sighed, "He wants to come here, Kang. Though not ready here, but basic ana ngeyel." Say Ajimukti afterwards.

"That's it, Gus. Emmm, while telling her to sleep in Ning Biba's room, Gus. It's empty." Sobri.

"I said so too, Kang. But I'm confused." Sahut Ajimukti later.

"Stupid? Confused why, Jik?" Sela Manan's.

"Yes the plan of the room was indeed to return to its owner, Nan. That's why until now I let and I lock." Again with Ajimukti.

Sobri nodded, Manan also seemed to nod.

"Make preparations for the bridal chamber, Jik?" Tempta Manan later.

Ajimukti gasped but then just slightly curled his lips without responding to Manan's words.

"Oh, yes, Kang Sobri. I'm up to forgetfulness. A few days ago what happened to a grandfather who was wearing udeng on his head?" Ask Ajimukti to divert the conversation.

Sobri turned to Ajimukti who was sitting next to Manan. "Yes, Gus. How can you know?" Ask then with a slight frown.

"What does Simbah Simbah know, Gus?" Ask Sobri to investigate.

Ajimukti nodded lightly, "Yes, Kang. His name is Mbah Sukrono, his father-in-law Pak Gandung. Well, Mr. Gandung is a friend who has been considered Lek Dullah's brother, Kang." The Ajimukti story then explains.

Sobri nodded his head nod, "Oh, so Sewan is Mbah Sukrono who was told by the father who said he had a lot of heirlooms, huh, Gus?"

"Yes, Kang. Yesterday Mbah Sukro also stopped by here. But I don't see the right way in ndalem." Say Ajimukti while smoking a cigarette in his hand.

"Oh, so what he said was Kang Khalil coming home with someone who was the same Mbah Sukro, Gus?" Ask Sobri later.

Ajimukti nodded, "Yes, Kang."

"I think Sumpah's the Guardians of Mastur, Gus. After knowing to know how to tell, it's gone. I was chasing but lost track. The distance is not much." Sobri's story is a little embarrassed

Ajimukti then simply smiled, "That's how his character Mbah Sukro, Kang. I am sometimes surprised too. Emm." Ajimukti then nodded his head then grabbed the coffee cup and started sipping it.

"Don't it be true that he's a guardian, Jik?" Manan asked as if very curious.

"Wallahu a'lam, Nan. Just khusnudzon that he's a good man." Sahut Ajimukti while putting his coffee glass.

"I when I heard his story from my father was curious. Eh, even when I met the person directly, I did not know that young Mbah Sukro who was told by the father." Sobri.

"Add made curious means, Kang?" Chirping Manan.

Sobri just laughed, then grabbed his kretek cigarette and lit it up a stick.

"Mbah Sukro is the type of person who is very very nguri nguri kabudayan, but does not come out of the Islamic shari'at. Isn't that right, Jik?" Manan glanced at Ajimukti as if looking for justification.

Ajimukti nodded, "You're right, Nan. And that makes us as young people, who feel that we are modern humans. That culture must be upheld because after all it is the identity of our country." Ajimukti responds to Manan's words.

"True Guse, Kang Manan. The form of Hubbul Wathon minal our faith is one of them with ngrekso njogo ancestral heritage." Sobri Imbuh.

"We must admit that there are indeed problems faced by Muslims in distinguishing between religion and culture, between worship and muamalah, between religious affairs and world affairs, between sunnah and bid’ah. However, Nan. Theoretically the difference between the two can be explained, although in practice the two things are often ambiguous, blurred, and not easy to distinguish." Imbuh Ajimukti.

"You're right, Jik. Religion and culture in this archipelago, when viewed from the context of Islam that develops and lives in this archipelago, has become a symbiotic relationship. Religion needs tools or methods to be conveyed to the community. In order for people to understand religion, then it takes a method or tool so that religion can be understood by people. Is that it, Jik?" Timpal Manan later.

Ajimukti nodded, "Just right, Nan. In the context of the mediation that exists in Indonesia. Culture, tradition and art become a tool to convey the teachings of religion so that religion is easier to understand. Because if the message of religion is conveyed in a Middle Eastern way, of course there will be a cultural gap. So it will be difficult to understand and receive the message of the religious message if the Arabic method is used. Therefore, since the time of Walisongo used the method or tradition of cultural values of the local people of the archipelago as a tool to convey. And it proved powerful, Nan. So that in less than fifty years, Walisongo was able to Islamize the archipelago community from the original ninety percent Hindu - Buddhism turned into ninety percent Islam." Ajimukti adds to Manan's statement.

“Through, Nan. For eight centuries, Islam did not develop in this archipelago. Historical data shows that in the eighth century, Islam has entered the archipelago through various doors, both from the door of Aceh, the door of Java and the door of other regions. However, in fact Islam itself only developed in the fifteenth century in the Majapahit era. What does that mean, Nan? There was a period of vacuum from the eighth century to the fifteenth century, where Islam in the archipelago was not acceptable to the nation of the archipelago. Well, that vacuum is then corrected by the guardians and it turns out there was an error in delivering the message." Continue Ajimukti later.

“And finally delivered with language, way, culture, tradition that developed in the society as it is today, right, Jik? New Islam can come in." Manan Sahut after.

"Yes, Nan. In the way that the guardians delivered that eventually gave birth to tembang, gending, verse, tripe, fiber, literature and so on. So that with this culture is more easily accepted by the community. So not infrequently in cultural performances a lot of Islamic value there. In some chat even if we peel, there will be many messages in it, such as those we often hear such as the song Lir Ilir, Sluku Sluku bathok and other themes. Maybe it's partly just going to assume that it's a regional song, but it's basically a message of kindness." Imbuh Ajimukti later.

"Yes, Gus. I also several times ngulik tembang jawa that was still SD only limited to the lesson of Local Content, but in fact the tembang tembang it in a way the meaning of philosophy." Imbuh Sobri.

"Yes, Kang. That is why we need to uri culture, yes because in fact through the culture of Islam developed. Do not because we feel modern humans then consider the culture as a myth, old-school, ancient, tacky and other mentions. Moreover, we as Javanese are thick with culture. Cook yes later we lose with outsiders who are precisely smitten with our fair culture? Anyway, Jowo digowo, west in ruwat, Arap is being worked on. Wis complete it later. That's just modern man. When out at the English chat ilate Ra ketokuk, Action horn set, worship yo mathug. Yum, Kang." Sahut Ajimukti while laughing and back smoking the rest of his cigarettes.

"Yes, Jik. Steady." Imbuh Manan who also laughed because of Ajimukti's words.

Ajimukti sighed, "And again. With Islam like this, which can be integrated with this Nusantara culture, then people become not easily angry. Because if Islam is a little angry, shown with emotion or anger anger, eventually people become thinking why the teachings of Islam is angry. Yeah tho? We also need to be angry but it has to be in its place. If we are angry and address the name of anger on things that are nature to increase the problem, then people think like a slightly enlarged problem that ultimately is tantamount to dwarfing Islam itself. Well, this condition is certainly anticipated by the guardians in ancient times when Sunan Kalijogo transform the verse of Allah using art, culture and tradition. The purpose of using the Nusantara culture as a means to spread, teach, and convey the message of religion so that it is more beautiful, easier to accept and more pleasant when heard by people. And true, in such a way Islam is acceptable to everyone, compared to people who scream but whose voice is not clear even though it is a voice that contains goodness. It is factual, to be distinguished between the message of religion, the teaching of religion by the method, means or means of conveying the message." Imbuh Ajimukti again.

"Yes, Jik. You're correct. I am worried that many people are like that. Islam that is adem ayem even seem arrogant." Sahut Manan later.

Ajimukti again grabbed a kreteknya cigarette and then ignited it. For a moment those in the yard were the same as enjoying each other's cigarettes.

"Oh yes, Jik. About what my father came here at that time. So he put his son here?" Ask Manan later.

"Oh, Mr. Samsuri. I don't know either, Nan. Yes, at that time he came to ask for a solution, I already love the solution, the rest of the decision is in his own young hands." Ajimukti.

"Looks like he's hesitating, huh, Jik?" Ask Manan again.

"Yes, at first, Nan. But yeah, that's it. Let's just wait later. Yes, if his son was delivered here, he was sarujuk with my advice, but if it does not mean he has another solution that is definitely better than my advice at that time." Ajimukti.

"Humans are just like flies and bees, Nan. How it is, want to be a fly or a bee." Say Ajimukti while smoking his kretek cigarette inside.

"I mean, Jik?" Asked Manan then while frowning.

"Lha you if you ask me to choose. Choose a fly or a bee?" Ask back to Manan.

Manan raised his eyebrows, "Well, this must be a trick question, Jik. To the point, Jik." Said later.

Ajimukti then just laughed and then returned to smoking his cigarette once again and exhaled his smoke upwards.

Seriate...
