Al 'ulamaa' Warotsatul - Anbiyaa'

The next morning at Hidayah. The sky was bright with a hint of white clouds hanging between its bright blue. The sun had yet to fully shine, only a faint faint bias began to lick a few corners of the wall.

Ajimukti was sitting enjoying the morning in the courtyard of the pesantren mosque where he used to relax with Dullah while Dullah was still in this pesantren.

Not long ago Ajimukti was in that place, Sobri came to follow Manan, Khalil was also the Imam who also immediately sat under one of the trees there.

"Where's the night, Kang?" Manan asked Sobri when they were sitting together.

"It's just here, Kang. Keep talking to Hexa." Sobri Sahut.

"Hexa?" Sahut Manan, Khalil is also a compact Imam.

Sobri just nodded his head.

"What's the conversation, Kang?" Manan asked seemed curious.

"Emmm, it's nothing, Kang. Only if I see that the boy is in trouble. Last night he daydreamed when I rebuked." Sobri said after that.

Hearing that, Manan slightly changed on his facial expression. Ajimukti noticed Manan's facial expression change, then patted him on the shoulder. Manan only then nodded.

"But yeah, Kang. Though if in Jogja when times like this must be very crowded." Ajimukti said a little to divert the conversation.

"Yes, Gus. Especially in the square." Sahut Sobri later.

"What's wrong, Jik?" Manan asked a little curiously.

"Grebeg Maulud Nan. Same as secaten." Sahut Ajimukti is said by nodding Sobri.

"Yes, Kang. Every time Grebeg Maulud was held, thousands of people spilled in the courtyard of the Great Mosque of Yogyakarta. They are willing to jostle under the hot sun just to fight for the Gunungan that will be shared. Some Muslim communities in Java do believe that grebeg can be a means of blessing, Kang." Imbuh Sobri later.

"Well, it seems like a lot of it, Kang. So I wonder." Sahut Khalil later.

"really. There is nothing here. Just heard the news of the escape. The originals haven't even seen." Imbuh Imam's.

"pol, Kang. A lot of not playing. Because there are at least six mountains of earth that are presented in the celebration of Grebeg Maulud. Four of them were paraded from Kraton Kasultanan Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat to Kauman Grand Mosque, while the other two Gunungan each were taken to two other locations, namely Kepatihan or the Office of the Governor of DIY and Pakualaman Palace." Sahut Ajimukti later.

"That's right, Kang. Yeah, it's necessary that we're free to go there." Imbuh Sobri.

"Grebeg Maulud himself what and how the hell, Jik?" Ask Manan later.

"Look, Nan. Grebeg Maulud was held to commemorate the birthday of Prophet Muhammad Salallahu 'alaihi Wassalam or Maulid Prophet. This tradition has even proven to be one of the surefire ways Wali Sanga in the framework of Islamic shiar in Java since the fifteenth century AD. This came about thanks to the idea of Sunan Kalijaga, Nan." Ajimukti explains a little after.

"Oh, so yes, Jik. Then it only exists in the month of Rabi'ul Awal only, Jik?" Ask Manan later.

"Yes, Nan. In Jogja also in Solo still menguri this tradition." Sahut Ajimukti later.

"The term grebeg or garebeg comes from the word gumrebeg, meaning boisterous or crowded, which then expanded its meaning into a crowd or celebration. Thus, every implementation of the Grebeg tradition is accompanied by arakan by a row of palace soldiers accompanied by the sound of gamelan. Grebeg Maulud himself was strung with Sekaten, Nan. Sekaten is still sustainable to this day as a vehicle for people's entertainment. The meaning of Sekaten itself has several opinions. Sekaten is derived from the term Sakati, the name of two gamelan kraton devices. In the context of Islamic da'wah, Sekaten comes from the word shahadatain which was practiced by Wali Songo as the origin of the Islamic process in Java. At first, Wali Songo was a religious assembly in the Sultanate of Demak, The first Islamic kingdom in Java that appeared before the collapse of the Majapahit Kingdom and existed on the journey of the fifteenth century around 1475 AD to 1554 AD. Sekaten which is part of Grebeg Maulud celebration is the idea of Sunan Kalijaga. Sunan Kalijaga was keen to maximize tradition as a means to invite people to embrace Islam. At that time, many Javanese people still adhered to Hinduism, Buddhism, or local beliefs. Initially, Grebeg Maulud initiated by Sunan Kalijaga was carried out by holding tabligh or grand studies by the guardians in front of Demak Mosque. The commemoration of the Prophet's Maulid is also an annual meeting of the saints. However, Sunan Kalijaga was apparently aware that this kind of concept was not enough to attract the interest of the majority of people who still adhere to the old teachings to come to the mosque, Nan. So, Sunan Kalijaga took the initiative to include elements of tradition that have long been known by the Javanese. Well, since then began to be used gamelan and dances that developed in the palace environment to enliven the implementation of Grebeg Maulud. So no wonder many knickknacks are in fact considered clenical and other ritual tools, because it all departs from tradition." Ajimukti is obviously long.

"Oh, so you do, Gus?" Sela Khalil nodded her head as if she understood what Ajimukti explained.

"Yes, Kang. In Grebeg Maulud at that time, in the courtyard of the mosque, placed a set of gamelan that was sprinkled to attract the attention of residents. The mosque complex was decorated with various knickknacks that refreshed the eyes. Well, in that way, people automatically become curious and flocked to the mosque owned by the Sultanate of Demak. By utilizing the crowd in the event, the Guardians performed in front of the podium in turn. They give advice with words that are interesting, simple, and communicative so that it makes the community feel happy to hear it." Imbuh Sobri.

"Well, it's a long way from now on, Kang." The priest chuckled a little.

"Yes, Kang. It used to be sing-jikuk atine disik. Wis kecenthok atine seagrass, easy to process. So the old man was nek tobat yo tobat tenan, seko kerentek atine dewe." Sahut Ajimukti later.

"That's right, Gus." Khalil nodded his head justifying.

"Because in that way, Kang. People who at first were still embarrassed to be invited into the mosque complex, eventually there began to be a sense of interest. However, there is a way. Before entering, they must pass through the gate and be led to say two sentences of the creed, then taught to be holy or ablution. By reciting the shahadah, then the person has embraced Islam. Luwes but proved, Kang. In fact, from ten percent to ninety percent of Muslims." Continue Ajimukti later.

"Just like Gus Aufa said. This shows Islam as Rahmatan Lil' alamin, not the origin of the trabas with the transfer of truth and the establishment of sharia. Because if spread by violence, it will only make people's views become bad about Islam itself. They would just say, oh Islam is like this, oh Islam is like this. And in the end, as we know Islam has always been looked down upon as a dangerous scourge in some areas because of the various alliances and organizations that are misusing Islam itself by expropriation as I said above." Imbuh Sobri later.

"Yes, Kang Sobri. I sometimes also sniffed the dodo when I saw those who claimed to be Muslims, claiming to be law enforcement, but their behavior, Naudzubillah. Ruin here and there, make a mess where, they're like fucking thugs." Imbuh Manan took out his uneg.

"Well, that's it, Kang, Nan. If they pay only through the media, through people they consider ustadz but not clear where it is. They love to quote reason in search of justification, but they forget how they know their Lord. As they think, religion comes immediately without a pension. They know matenge ra mudeng nandure." Imbuh Ajimukti.

"Cats, Gus. It's true when God's asthma is promoted in an inhumane way." Sela Khalil shakes her head.

"That's why there is the hadith of Al 'ulamaa' warotsatul-Anbiyaa', Kang. It is the form of the Prophet nguwongke the scholars, whether the scholars after the death of the Prophet or mutaqoddimin, who lived in the era before the Prophet. That why? Because with us close to the cleric, the clerical gondelan, we will know where good is bad, where wrong is true, where the benefits of where mudharat, Kang. in the book At-Tobaqotil Kubro there is an explanation of the meaning of Al 'ulamaa' warotsatul-Anbiyaa’. First, Al 'ulamaa' Sholihun. Second, Al 'ulamaa' Shodiqun like Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jailani and others, they have a wonderful tobaqoh tobaqoh to help the layman. When lay people are upset, they have a caromah to convince the layman. This book, for some people, may not make sense. Considered deviant, shirk, heresy and idolatry. That's why, Kang. We cannot choose a teacher either. Find a teacher who is really penetrating to the Messenger of Allah." Imbuh Ajimukti gave his explanation.

"Leres niku said Gus Aufa. That teacher who can be digugu and imitated. If the teacher brangasan, we have the potential to be people with a strong character. But if the teacher is ngalim, we have the potential to join alim." Sobri again.

"Fortunate are we who can already be close to the cleric and Kyai, Gus. I pray that the njenengan will become a respected Kyai." Khalil said later.

"Big, Gus. I'm sarujuk same Khalil." Imbuh Imam's.

Ajimukti smiled, "I'm not even interested in becoming Kyai, Kang. I just want to be like this. Obviously my life can be used for good, whether it's for myself or for others. Because now many people are valuing themselves, then for society is considered a role model. Though not all Kyai are scholars and not all scholars can be called Kyai, Kang." Sahut Ajimukti.

"Well, why, Gus?" Khalil asked and was astonished by Ajimukti's response.

Ajimukti sighed, "Kiai or Kyai for the understanding of the Javanese is a mention for those who are reaped or respected, Kang. Whether it's people or goods. As I said earlier, not all Kyai is interpreted cleric, Kang. Although we know that Kyai is a cleric, such as Simbah Kyai Hasyim Asy'ari, Simbah Kyai Wahab Hasbullah, Simbah Kyai Dimyati, and so forth. However, Kang. Kyai is also often mentioned for heirloom objects, such as Kiai Joko Piturun's kris, Gamelan Kiai Gunturmadu. Can also be a mention for animals, such as buffalo Kiai Slamet, horse Kiai Crow Rimang. Even the mention of Kiai can also be for subtle creatures, as well as Kiai Sapujagad who is believed to be the guardian of Mount Merapi." Clearly Ajimukti later.

"Well, that's if in Java, another for the people of Banjar and Kalimantan. There, Kiai was a title for the district head, the district head if in Java called wedono. Then are they clerics? No, Kang. Because for the scholars themselves, there are called Tuan, for example Mr. Guru, Mr. Penghulu, Mr. Khatib. This title comes from the name of the ministerial post in the Kingdom of Banjar. The Dutch East Indies government then changed this name to the name of the position of district head for the Kalimantan region. Such as Kiai Masdhulhak, a kiai who died in the rebellion Hariang, Banua Lawas, Tabalong, in 1937." Further again.

Everything in that place simultaneously nodded as if it understood very well what Ajimukti told them.

Unbeknownst to them, as far as their chatter, the vines of solar bias are now starting to touch almost all the ground below. Leaves that had been wet by dew overnight, now began to look dry because of the hot sun. The chatter still continued, occasionally there was the sound of laughter interspersing the chatter.

Seriate...
