Abstract

The Punden of Mbah Sentono is a sacred landscape that is used frequently by people to increase their spirituality. It is recognized as a sacred place to perform rituals such as tahlilan, slametan and ruwatan desa. The main issue I raise in this paper concerns the social-political significance of the rituals. The three main questions are, first, how is ruwatan practiced in the Punden of Mbah Sentono? Second, how have political actors used the ritual in the punden as a political tool in an election? The last, how have people also used the ritual in the punden to counter the political actors’ use the ritual? I will show that the rituals do have social-political significance and argue that both political actors and people in society have mutual relations through the rituals. From this point of view, I state that ritual in the Punden of Mbah Sentono is divided into two time periods, “during election period” and “after election period”. “The ritual during election period” are tahlilan and slametan which are handled by the candidates of the local election to build political support, whereas “the ritual after election” is ruwatan desa which is also used by the winner for negotiation and reconciliation to ease the negative impacts of the competitions during the local election, which affect people. On the other hand, people also use the rituals to ask for financial support from the candidates for holding big ruwatan desa and kirap. In the years before and after the election, ruwatan desa is held as small events. In this research, I analyze the social-political significance of ritual, using a theoretical framework informed by Kertzer. [Punden Mbah Sentono adalah tempat sakral yang sering digunakan sebagai tempat spiritual oleh orang-orang untuk meningkatkan spiritualitas mereka. Punden tersebut diakui sebagai tempat sacral untuk melakukan tahlilan, slametan dan ruwatan desa. Isu utama yang saya angkat didalam tesis ini adalah siknifikansi social-politik pada ritual. Ada tiga pertanyaan utama; yakni, pertama,  bagaimana ruwatan desa ritual dipraktekkan di punden Mbah Sentono? kedua, bagaimana actor politik menggunakan ritual didalam punden sebagai alat politik didalam pemilihan? Terakhir, bagaimana masyarakat menggunakan ritual di punden untuk keluar dari actor politik? Saya akan menunjukkan bahwa ritual mempunyai siknifikansi social-politik dan beranggapan bahwa actor politik dan masyarakat mempunyai hubungan timbal balik melalui ritual.]

Abstract

Toleransi dalam Islam merupakan persoalan yang menarik dan penting untuk dikaji, karena banyak di kalangan umat Islam yang memahami toleransi dengan pemahaman yang kurang tepat. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan kajian yang mendalam tentang bagaimana sesungguhnya konsep toleransi dalam Islam. Khususnya konsep-konsep toleransi yang terdapat dalam hadith-hadith Nabi. Implementasi atas kajian terhadap hadis-hadis yang bertemakan hubungan antara muslim dengan non-muslim juga dapat mewujudkan rasa toleransi dan mampu memicu terjadinya sinkronisasi kehidupan antar umat beragama sehingga terciptalah suasana beragama yang rukun tanpa adanya intimidasi antar satu agama dengan agama lain. Toleransi dalam Islam bukan berarti bersikap sinkretis (proses perpaduan dari beberapa paham-paham atau aliran-aliran agama atau kepercayaan). Akan tetapi sikap toleransi dalam Islam merupakan sikap menghargai dan menghormati keyakinan dan agama lain di luar Islam, bukan menyamakan atau mensederajatkannya dengan keyakinan Islam itu sendiri. Jadi, ada batas-batas bersama yang boleh dan tak boleh dilanggar. Inilah esensi toleransi di mana masing-masing pihak untuk mengendalikan diri dan menyediakan ruang untuk saling menghormati keunikannya masing-masing tanpa merasa terancam keyakinan maupun hak-haknya.(Tolerance in Islam is an interesting and important issue to study, because many of the Muslims understand tolerance with inappropriate understanding. Therefore, an in-depth study of the concept of tolerance in Islam is needed. Especially the concepts of tolerance contained in prophetic hadiths. The implementation of the study of hadiths with the theme of the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims can also create a sense of tolerance and be able to trigger synchronization of inter-religious life so as to create a harmonious religious atmosphere without intimidation between one religion with another religion. Tolerance in Islam does not mean being syncretic (a process of combining several religious or belief ideals or schools). However, tolerance in Islam is an attitude of respect and respect for other faiths and religions outside of Islam, not equating or equaling them with Islamic beliefs themselves. So, there are common boundaries that may and should not be violated. This is the essence of tolerance where each party is in control of themselves and provides space to respect each other's uniqueness without feeling threatened by their beliefs or rights.)
