Malang, NU Online
The mechanism of cultural processes in terms of the Islamisation, the so called Walisongo did it through education by establishing Shiva-Buddhist educational institutions that are in accordance with the teachings of Islam into Islamic boarding schools (pesantren).
Prominent cleric of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) KH M. Tholhah Hasan made the remarks on the sidelines of a meeting with NU Online here recently.
The former Minister of Religious Affairs said that in the age of Walisongo, pesantren having formerly been littered fully with the teachings of Hinduism and Buddhism could culturally be influenced with the teachings of Islam.
"On account of the presence of pesantren, religion was taught widely in society. All that was taught in depth by studying various primary books that gave birth to great ulema or Muslim scholars and contributed to the history of Islam Nusantara," he said.
According to Kiai Tholhah, such individuals as Pakubowono VI, Prince Sambernyowo (Mangkunegoro I) and Prince Diponegoro are great characters who are well versed in politics and have never been beaten in the war.
"All this is due to the role of pesantren," he said, adding that geographically the places of pesantren were deliberately chosen far from the crowds, residential areas, the capitals of kingdoms as well as big cities. Santri were garrisoned and financed by their leaders or at the expense of fellow Muslims.
"Some pesantren were built on a hill or slope. For example, Mount Muria in Central Java and Pesantren Giri that is located at the top of a hill called Giri near Gresik in East Java. (Masdar)
