TASAWUF DI SUMATERA SELATAN DARI ABAD KE-18 HINGGA ABAD KE-21

Sufism in Indonesia is not only Sunni, but also philosophical. This is evident in the mystical teachings of Sufism that developed throughout the archipelago, including in the Southern of Sumatera region. Islam with a Sunni Sufism style is very strong since the beginning of its arrival in South Sumatra. This can be traced to political and cultural contacts between Palembang and Java - where Wali Songo lived. While the main characteristic of South Sumatra's mysticism is its attachment to the tarekat - in this case, especially the Sammaniyah order. Even in the 20th century, when the flow of Islamic puritanism oriented to the mere outward aspects of religion increasingly thickened, the Sammaniyah order which had become part of the customs of the Palembang people could still be maintained.

Prior to its arrival in the Island, according to some historians, the indigenous Sasak (the indigenous people of Lombok) embraced a traditional belief known as Boda. Historically, since its establishment, Islam has perpetually been expanding despite facing some distinct and contradictory values of local tradition and culture, which leads to a kind of dialectical process and turns in what is known as local Islam such as Islam WetuTelu in Bayan, West Lombok.

The historical sketch of its religious identity produces a combination of traditional, cultural and religious values of the comers with those of the indigenous people in the past, WetuTelu religion. Present Muslims in Lombok assume that the existence of traditional Islam is due to an incomplete process of Islamization in the Island.

One of the reasons why this school is not practiced by Muslims fully is difficult to practice. The existence of Qaul al-Mukhtār of al-Nawawī can be an alternative way for the followers of this school of law that is difficult in practicing one of his opinions. Besides its strong arguments, Qaul al-Mukhtar of al- Nawawī is not really out from the rule of Syafi’ite school of law. In addition, it is representation of Fikih al-Muyassar (simplifed fiqh) concept for Muslim in Indonesia. Therefore, the follower of Syafi’ite school of law in Indonesia can feel easy and peace in practicing Islam.
