Hi

0:00

[Music]

0:18

then how did Islam come to the archipelago

0:22

Hi, especially here

0:26

there are four theories that talk

0:29

about how Islam came to the

0:33

archipelago, for example,

0:35

eh Most

0:37

scholars

0:39

from the Netherlands

0:41

hold one theory that the origin of

0:45

Islam in the archipelago

0:47

came from the Indian subcontinent,

0:50

so from India, that's what's known

0:54

as the Gujarat theory,

0:57

so according to some experts or

1:01

[Music]

1:02

theories about the entry of Islam into the

1:04

archipelago, we can say the

1:06

first is the Gujarat theory, well, the Gujarat theory is

1:12

believed that Islam in the

1:15

archipelago came from

1:19

Gujarat, well, because it comes

1:23

from Gujarat,

1:26

they also say that Islam

1:30

in Indonesia did not come from

1:34

Persia, Persia is today's Iran or

1:41

Saudi Arabia, Arabia is not Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia, it

1:44

looks like but the direction of the Arab region, okay, that's

1:48

their belief, well, among those

1:52

who think so, there is one scholar whose

1:56

name, maybe it can be written or

2:00

searched, for example, if you want to deepen

2:03

his writing, I do tryout,

2:08

tryout, so how do you read it? But

2:11

Dr. Els Job, the

2:14

Dutch people

2:17

invited us to link the

2:20

origins of Islam in the archipelago with

2:23

two regions of India namely Gujarat and

2:26

Malabar

2:27

Gujarat and Malabar well according to him

2:31

eh the Arabs of the Shafi'i school of thought

2:36

migrated or hijrah and settled in

2:41

India then they gradually

2:45

crossed to

2:47

other islands in the archipelago

2:50

that if we read on the map,

2:54

India-Pakistan is called South Asia

2:58

South Asia while Indonesia basically the

3:02

archipelago was called

3:04

Southeast Asia Southeast Asia

3:08

Southeast means east south south east

3:12

Southeast yes sauce but is the

3:16

south to east of the country then we can

3:20

imagine it as an imagination

3:23

according to the house earlier that the

3:27

Arabs of the Shafi'i school of thought

3:30

[Music]

3:31

migrated to India especially in the

3:34

historical region and Malabar then

3:37

they made a sea voyage Yes

3:40

of course a sea voyage because there was no

3:43

easy transportation like

3:46

we see now we experience with

3:48

sea transportation they crossed

3:50

to the archipelago

3:53

and what was called Malacca was a

3:58

trading port So merchant ships

4:03

from India or even from Arabia if they wanted to

4:08

trade with China

4:11

they had no choice but to stop in

4:13

Southeast Asia and that was in the Strait of Malacca well

4:17

there huh Uh

4:19

then we can understand that then

4:24

After Drewes Who else

4:26

developed this theory? There was

4:28

another Dutch scholar named Snouck Hurgronye.

4:30

Snouck Hurgronye was an expert in

4:34

Islamic studies and Arabic at Mount

4:37

Schleiden

4:38

who was

4:40

called by the Dutch East Indies government

4:43

to

4:45

find a way to defeat

4:48

Muslims in Indonesia.

4:52

Well, he argued that

4:58

in several port cities

5:01

in the Indian subcontinent,

5:06

they lived there.

5:09

They came to the world of the

5:11

archipelago. There are those who, in the

5:14

magazine's prophase, in one of their books,

5:16

call

5:17

Malay-Indonesians the

5:21

first spreaders of Islam.

5:23

After the people from India, they were

5:27

followed by Arabs,

5:31

most of whom had the title Sayid or

5:35

Sharif, Sayed or Sharif because

5:36

they were descendants of the Prophet Muhammad.

5:39

Well,

5:41

[Music]

5:42

Well, according to

5:44

Eh Hurgronye, ​​these Arabs,

5:48

after the Indians came to the

5:51

archipelago

5:54

as prize priests, yes,

5:58

those priests mean, yes, our religious experts in the sense of

6:01

Christianity, but

6:04

the news in the broad sense is that their eyes are

6:06

religious experts or as Hi,

6:12

noble priests, noble priests, noble priests,

6:15

each of them became

6:18

nobles, but it is

6:21

suspected that the registration religious figures Later I will

6:25

explain to you

6:28

what the

6:30

discussion about Walisongo is called, yes, then

6:34

after the teachers did not explicitly mention

6:38

India, where is it, which is considered

6:41

as part

6:43

or as the origin of the

6:46

arrival of Islam in this archipelago, but

6:50

he stated that

6:54

Islam came to the archipelago in the 12th century, the

6:58

12th century means the 1300s,

7:02

friends, because the first century is

7:09

20 to 100, what is one

7:12

100 years, 100 to

7:16

half

7:19

100-200, yes, that is the

7:22

2nd century AD, if we mention the century,

7:27

we have to think like,

7:30

okay, here is a moquette noqueue, the

7:36

writing is emo

7:39

question2answer

7:43

[Music]

7:47

which in this archipelago has just spread in

7:51

this archipelago, it comes from Gujarat, well,

7:54

what is the reason, the reason mokoweb

7:59

concluded that Islam in

8:01

this archipelago came from Gujarat

8:03

is by looking at, observing,

8:06

conducting research on the

8:09

tombstones in Pasai

8:14

in North Sumatra, especially those

8:18

dated 17 July

8:21

831 Hijri, coinciding with

8:24

September 27,

8:26

1428 AD Well,

8:32

there it is mentioned

8:36

that the

8:40

tombstone is

8:43

similar to another tombstone

8:45

found in the tomb of Maulana Malik Ibrahim

8:49

in Gresik, East Java,

8:51

and by W, the

8:55

shape of the tombstone is considered the same as that

8:58

found in

8:59

Kambay, until it is a city in

9:03

Gujarat, India Well, that Well, then he

9:08

said based on the

9:10

examples of the tombstones,

9:13

Eh, it can be concluded by McDonald's

9:17

that the tombstones in Gujarat were produced

9:20

not only for the local market but also

9:23

exported, there were no exports to

9:27

other regions, including Sumatra and Java, well,

9:31

by importing tombstones from

9:33

Gujarat, then the

9:36

people of the archipelago also

9:38

took Islam from well, but

9:43

what is interesting, friends, is

9:45

McQueen's conclusion, but I

9:48

mentioned the Philippines, yes, the Philippines, at the beginning

9:51

there was a history writer who

9:54

discussed in detail

9:57

how Islam entered the Philippines,

9:58

his name was Escape Fatini,

10:02

Qwerty Me Well, Fatimi disagreed with

10:07

Moquette in terms of Islam heard in the

10:13

archipelago originating from Gujarat

10:14

because based on the tombstone,

10:18

he said that it

10:21

was wrong to link all the

10:25

writings in Pasai includes the tombstone of

10:28

Malikus Saleh with the tombstone in

10:31

Pujara Well what is the argument

10:34

presented by you head noket

10:37

said he did a lot of

10:40

research then concluded that the

10:43

shape and pattern of the

10:47

motif of Malikussaleh's tombstone is

10:52

completely different completely different

10:55

from the tombstones found in

10:57

Gujarat and other tombstones

11:00

found in the archipelago well then

11:04

this part also says that the shape

11:08

and style or motif of this tombstone is

11:13

actually more similar to the

11:17

tombstones in other Indian regions

11:20

namely the

11:23

lam quarter then with that evidence

11:28

then these four conclude that Islam

11:33

that came to the archipelago

11:36

came from Gujarat but from with

11:38

but still still in the territory of India

11:41

so well

11:44

eh the man is

11:48

For example

11:50

what is the name of the

11:52

theory put forward by Fatin eh

11:57

souvenirs by some

12:03

historians are considered to have failed to oppose the

12:06

theories of moquette that okay

12:09

friends all so that's the

12:12

first theory yes about that Islam came to the

12:15

archipelago came from India which

12:18

apparently historians also

12:21

differ about which India

12:24

Hi the most popular Gujarat yes but it

12:27

turns out If we look

12:29

deeper, deeper, deeper, there is

12:34

Gujarat Malabar,

12:36

then when we

12:39

hear in English,

12:42

people usually call it

12:43

workshops, okay, the theory about

12:47

Gujarat as the place of origin of Islam in the

12:49

archipelago, Islam in the archipelago

12:53

has weaknesses, of course, it has weaknesses,

12:56

okay, it has

13:00

weaknesses, later I want my

13:01

friends to refer to several books,

13:04

indeed, if we talk about the

13:06

theory of Islamization in the archipelago, it is very

13:09

complex, yes, so maybe for those who are just

13:13

starting to follow and then read

13:16

historical texts, it is a bit confusing

13:19

because of the many versions,

13:20

well, eh, eh, eurusd, the other is that

13:27

there are

13:29

views that the

13:32

second century, the second verse of the first theory

13:34

is that Islam in the archipelago originated

13:38

from the Indian subcontinent,

13:40

3 cities, not places,

13:43

three places that are

13:47

considered to be the source of Islam, Islamization,

13:51

namely

13:52

Gujarat, Malabar, and the second is

13:56

usually called the Arab theory, yes, the

13:59

Arab theory, which states that

14:03

Arab traders

14:04

spread Islam

14:08

through trade,

14:11

through trade,

14:13

and

14:16

Hi, the year is right, the mass is much

14:19

earlier, if the concoction is the 12th century, yes, the

14:21

12th century, the 12th century,

14:25

if this is the

14:28

7th century, so the 7th century, so yes 7th century

14:36

7th century

14:38

so oh if I mentioned

14:40

for example

14:41

0/0

14:43

years 1-100 AD that is the 11th century

14:49

1-220 second died Actually earlier If

14:52

I mentioned 1000 the 12th century not

14:55

1300s the year is still in 1100 strange if

14:58

this is the 7th century

15:01

Even though we know that the

15:03

Prophet Muhammad was born

15:08

in the 6th century and received

15:12

his mission as an apostle in the 17th century

15:16

Come on, so this theory believes

15:18

that that early yes that early the

15:23

people what is called Islamization in the archipelago

15:26

happened that early not not

15:31

later not the 12th century 1100 and

15:33

but even since the 7th century it has

15:37

happened well According to this theory is

15:41

that

15:43

Especially when reading

15:46

historical sources of Chinese chronicles yes Chinese chronicles

15:50

that towards the end of the

15:53

third quarter of the 7th century an

15:56

Arab trader became the leader of an

15:59

Arab Muslim settlement on the coast of

16:02

Sumatra join This is the evidence that is put forward

16:06

so what is interesting is that

16:09

these historians always put forward evidence if they

16:13

want to show a theory of the

16:16

end important lessons for us

16:18

not only history yes

16:21

Hi but in any field if we

16:24

want to propose a theory

16:26

then

16:28

propose evidence

16:32

a theory or a view

16:36

can be considered if there is evidence

16:39

as long as the evidence is Bali can or not that is

16:42

number two meaning it can still be tested again

16:45

but never make

16:48

scientific claims including proposing a theory

16:51

without proposing evidence worth we

16:55

studied earlier regardless of whether you agree

16:57

which is wrong which is really which is right

17:00

wrong that is okay later you can

17:03

consider

17:05

debating yourselves scientifically

17:08

but pay attention to the names that

17:11

I mentioned earlier as supporters of a particular theory

17:13

submit evidence eh submit evidence

17:17

so that the theory does not stop as a

17:19

theory but the theory is also

17:23

followed by evidence sleepy well

17:26

Professor Azyumardi Azra in

17:30

his book about

17:33

eh what is the title is the

17:38

network of Middle Eastern scholars wrote

17:41

this

17:42

in this connection it is interesting to mention

17:45

that there is a book entitled

17:48

Ajaibul Him that is Ajaib bullying which

17:53

originally in the language of Siap

17:57

states that

17:59

the existence of a local Muslim community in the

18:02

Hindu-Buddhist kingdom of the

18:05

base substances to refer to Sriwijaya

18:08

Sriwijaya

18:09

Well that already exists So according to

18:13

a book entitled Ajaibul Him

18:16

which by Prof. Azra is called an

18:19

early source about the existence of Islam in the

18:24

region This archipelago

18:27

mentions the

18:29

existence of a

18:31

Muslim community in the

18:34

Hindu-Buddhist kingdom of Srivijaya, which

18:38

in Arabic is called who.

18:41

Well, according to this book,

18:45

there is a biography about the visit of

18:49

Muslim traders to the kingdom of tourism. There was a

18:51

royal visit. There was a visit. I met my

18:54

wife. I don't know exactly

18:57

how to connect it, but I

18:59

want to tell Hai that

19:02

when I was studying for my doctorate at the

19:05

CSO National University of Singapore,

19:09

we learned about the theory of Islamization of the

19:12

archipelago.

19:14

Hai Well, as part of

19:18

Wulyanto, one time we were invited by the

19:21

professor who taught us clearly to

19:25

visit an exhibition. He thought it was a

19:28

history exhibition, that's the Malay Archipelago

19:30

at the

19:32

NSC. There were bryopsida manuscript exhibitions.

19:38

There were many exhibitions of

19:41

historical evidence. Well, the most interesting thing was that

19:43

we were invited to attend a session. There was

19:47

a researcher from Australia who

19:49

managed to lift the ship.

19:53

Hai sold all kinds of

19:55

contents in the waters of the kingdom in the waters of

20:00

Bangka Belitung.

20:01

Bangka Belitung. Well, what's interesting is that the

20:06

contents of the sunken ship happened with

20:09

certain technology. It turns out that

20:11

this researcher from Australia managed to lift the

20:14

items on the ship. YouTube

20:17

Hai, the conclusion is like this, looking at the

20:20

items,

20:22

it must be a trade relationship between

20:25

Arabia and China, between Arabia and China, so

20:29

this ship Arab must be according to him because

20:33

if you look at the shape, so the

20:36

research was carried out until the

20:38

shape of the ship, seeing the shape of this ship

20:41

came from Arabia, so the conclusion

20:45

that he could draw was that this must be a

20:49

trade relationship between Arabia and China,

20:52

Arabs traded with China, but

20:56

he could not conclude for sure

20:59

whether they departed from the direction of

21:02

China

21:03

or on their way back from China,

21:08

but most likely from China back

21:12

to Arabia because he saw the

21:15

objects that were found,

21:17

porcelain,

21:19

jars, pottery,

21:23

typical Chinese pottery that we

21:24

can still see today, but what was

21:27

interesting was that he then asked why the

21:31

ship sank in Bangka Belitung,

21:35

which was a kingdom in the territory of the

21:38

Sriwijaya Kingdom. Well, that and whether

21:42

the ship sank naturally or

21:44

was attacked by the

21:47

Sriwijaya Kingdom's Navy. It was

21:49

very interesting that when I attended

21:52

that session, as someone who has a

21:55

great interest and passion in the

21:58

history of Islamization of the Archipelago, I felt

22:01

this was extraordinary. What is it called as

22:04

a new perspective in

22:06

building the discourse of Islamization of the Archipelago,

22:08

so eh,

22:12

what is it called, interesting. But he also

22:16

found there something called lum Hi,

22:17

what is that hole, is it a tool for growing, you know, the

22:20

Javanese people of ancient times? Bro,

22:22

he piled it up with a lump and then

22:26

forgot so he concluded that the mortar was

22:29

typical of Java so he went to Majapahit

22:32

first and then to Wijaya Egypt or whatever,

22:34

but I want to say that

22:37

by referring to that, it means that

22:41

Muslim traders who visited the

22:44

kingdom of friends or Sriwijaya were

22:46

indeed very likely to happen,

22:49

very likely to happen, well, eh, eh,

22:55

Hi, as Then who are there, there is a

22:59

scholar named Crowfoot,

23:03

crownplus2.com believes that Islam in the

23:06

archipelago originated from whether

23:09

directly, well, it

23:11

originated from

23:14

among those who are thought to be the ones whose

23:18

names are the children of Ipal at the foot of the palatas

23:23

Alatas also have the view that Islam

23:26

in Indonesia originated from

23:28

Arabia
