This Professor in History at the Faculty of Adab and Humaniora at the State Islamic University Syarif Hidayatullah in Jakarta passed away on 18 September 2022 in a hospital in Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia. Inna lillāhi wa inna ilaihi rāji‘un.Two days earlier, Professor Azra suffered from health issues while traveling by airplane to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He was not on his way for holiday purposes after travel restrictions had finally been lifted after the pandemic.

Taking modernism as its starting point, this book explains Islamic reformism by tracing the historical path of the important concept of shari'ah in the religious thoughts and practices of Muslim's, and how it became the dominant discourse. This concept was voiced by prominent Indonesian 'ulama' in the 17 th and l8 18 centuries. More importantly, this concept emerged parallel to their intellectual contact with the Haramayn 'ulama' (in Mecca and Medina), which gave rise to the process of Islamic transmission through a complex network of student-teacher relationships. This process, known as the 'ulama' network, is the focus of discussion in this book. DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v11i2.606

The manuscripts can definitely be regarded as primary sources for reconstruction a socialintellectual history of Indonesian Islam in the past. One of the most important topics discussed in such sources is that relates to the history of blaming and marginalization of religious doctrine, especially that of Unity of Being (wah{ dat al-wujūd), or popularly known in Java as Manunggaling Kawula Gusti. This article will examine some Islamic works covering the discourse of controversy between the orthodoxy and heterodoxy that emerged since the mid of 16 th and 19 th centuries in the Archipelago. The first work that will be consulted is a Sufi treatise entitled at-Tuh} fah al-Mursalah ila> an-Nabi> (the Gift addressed to the spirit of the Prophet) written by an Indian scholar, Fad{ l Alla> > > h al-Hindi> al-Burha> npu> ri>. Furthermore, this article will demonstrate the emergence of 'derivative' local works of at-Tuh} fah, written both in Arabic and local languages. The works contain both opposing and supporting thoughts of the theosophical doctrine discussed in the at-Tuh} fah. * Tulisan ini merupakan bagian dari penelitian kompetitif yang lakukan atas dukungan finansial dari Lembaga Penelitian (Lemlit) UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta tahun 2010. Karenanya, penulis mengucapkan terima kasih kepada pimpinan Lemlit atas dukungan tersebut.

A comparison of Islamic education in Patani, with that which exists in other areas such as Indonesia and Malaysa, is complicated, but this is the very reason why it is so interesting. In the context of education, Islam-including the Islam developed in Malay-Patani areas-has played a significant, even a dominant, role. It is the driving force behind the establishment, the development, and the enforcement of educational institutions. Here pondok, pesantren, meunasah, surau and other traditional institutions of education must be mentioned for-in the Malay-Nusantara context they have been instrumental in the whole intellectual renaissance in the region. Rich Islamic traditions were studied and socialized intensively in those institutions and this, in turn, enabled the local ulamas to produce important works in the field of Islamic studies.

It examines the networks of the Order between the 17th and 19th centuries, arguably the most important formative periods of the Islamic history in these regions.
In this philological study, the author scrutinizes thirty three digitized Islamic manuscripts to show the complexity of Shaṭṭārīyah Order and its great influence over Javanese Muslim elites, including three female Sufis of Javanese aristocratic background, namely Ratu Raja Fatimah and Nyimas Ayu Alimah of Cirebon Palace; and, last but not least Kanjeng Ratu Kadipaten, the influential wife of Pangeran Mangkubumi of Yogyakarta Palace, who played a prominent role in shaping the spirituality of a Javanese mystic and leader of the ‘holy war’ against European colonialism, Prince Dipanagara.
Contrary to previous studies, this book emphasizes the role of local networks of “commoners” in the Shaṭṭārīyah in spreading it into a wider context, some of whom had to live in exile during the Dutch colonialism, such as Kyai Hasan Maolani, the most influential local ulama from Lengkong, Kuningan, West Java, who was banished to Manado, North Sulawesi.
