K KONSTRUKSI ISLAM ATAS KESULTANAN PALEMBANG DARUSSALAM : STUDI TENTANG TRANSFORMASI HUBUNGAN NEGARA DAN RAKYAT PADA ABAD KE XVIII S/D XIX M.

Abstract

Abstrak : The Islamic construction in Palembang is in the process of Islamization, the ulama are more inclined to devote their thoughts and activities to bureaucratic affairs. So the development of Islam in Sumatra was not widely known until before the founding of the Palembang Darussalam Sultanate, because for two centuries Palembang was the territory of the Islamic kingdoms in Java. Palembang only became an independent sultanate when Raden Tumenggung proclaimed himself Sultan Ratu Abdurrahman in 1666 and then took the title Sultan Jamaluddin in 1681.

                    No matter how slow the development of Islam in South Sumatra is, the results of the efforts of the sultans and ulama are still visible in historical reality. In addition to improving the quality of cultural and political Islam, Islam has become a religion adhered to by residents in various areas in the interior of South Sumatra. Religious institutions such as mosques are also experiencing development. Sultan Abdurrahman in 1663 founded a mosque which was later better known as the Old Mosque. On 25 June 1748 a large mosque was inaugurated for use by Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin Jayo Wikramo. This mosque, which is located in the center of Palembang City, is now known as the Great Mosque. After the collapse of the Palembang Sultanate, several mosques were founded by rich clerics with support from the community.

               In the Sultanate structure, it is not very clear whether the role of the ulama shows that Islamic teachings in the Sultanate are increasingly being improved, so that the structure of the Palembang Sultanate continues to adapt to Islamic teachings, or the role of the Sultanate in the state and people can be accommodated as a Palembang Malay identity.
