Kontroversi Seputar Tradisi Keagamaan Popular dalam Masyarakat Islam
Abstract: This paper deals
with a controversy concerning a popular religious practice that some ‘ulama
have been involved in. On this issue, the ‘ulama are divided into those who
reject it and those who accept it. Those who reject it are associated with the
puritan Muslims who generally argue that the popular religious practices are
form of bid‘ah. Among the puritans are Ibn Taymîyah (d. 1328) and Muhammad ‘Abd
al-Wahhab (d. 1791) the founding-father of Wahhabîyah school of thought in
Najd, Saudi Arabia. Although the two have continuously waged an intellectual
war on popular religious practices, these practices have nonetheless survived
to this day.
This paper proposes an approach that might be useful to the study of
popular religious practices. It contends that the controversy on this issue may
in fact be used as a framework in which the validity of certain religious
tradition may be evaluated. A rejection toward certain religious practices is
in fact deemed necessary as long as this is not destructive to the very
structure of religion.
On further note, the differences in opinion between those who reject and
those who accept can actually be reconciled simply because the two have a lot
in common in terms of their aims and final goals. They are not contradictive so
far as the two are deemed as subjective efforts to understand the real meaning
of Islam. On the ground that the two are a form of understanding, the one
cannot be said as truer than the other just as the two cannot be said as
representing the true teaching of the Qur’ân and the Sunnah. Nonetheless, put
together the two have indeed gave a more comprehensive picture of what Islam is
all about.
