| Summary: | This study highlights the contributions of Javanese scholars towards the
enrichment of the intellectual heritage in the Malay Archipelago. Such a study in
Arabic is rare despite the long historical relations between the region and the
Arab/Muslim world. The study concludes that with the beginning of the twentieth
century a number of Javanese scholars studied from the highly-ranked scholars in the
Holy Ka‘bah, including Sheikh DÉ’Ëd bin ‘Abd Allah al-PatÉnÊ, the leader of the Patani
community in Makkah. They sought authentic Islamic learning and wrote scientific
works in Arabic and Jawi. They served as a bridge between the Middle East and Far
East throughout the Islamic era. After having secured Islamic and Arabic learning, they
returned to their country and established Islamic educational institutions, private and
public, as a means to spread knowledge of Islam.
Kajian ini menyerlahkan sumbangan para ulama Jawa terhadap pengayaan
warisan intelek di rantau Kepulauan Melayu. Kajian sedemikian dalam bahasa Arab
adalah jarang walaupun rantau ini dan dunia Arab / Islam mempunyai hubungan
sejarah yang berpanjangan. Kajian ini menyimpulkan bahawa pada permulaan abad
kedua puluh, beberapa para ulama Jawa menimba ilmu dari para-para ulama yang
berilmu tinggi di Ka'bah, termasuk Sheikh DÉ’Ëd bin ‘Abd Allah al-PatÉnÊ, seorang
pemimpin masyarakat Patani di Makkah. Mereka menuntut pengajaran Islam yang
sahih dan menulis karya saintifik dalam bahasa Arab dan Jawi. Mereka menjadi
penyambung diantara dunia Timur Tengah dan Timur Jauh sepanjang era Islam.
Selepas mereka mempelajari ilmu Islam dan Bahasa Arab, mereka kembali ke negara
mereka dan menubuhkan institusi pendidikan Islam, awam dan swasta, dengan tujuan
untuk menyebarkan ilmu Islam |
