Jalaluddin Rumi in Indonesia: A Preliminary Analysis
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study seeks to trace why the figure of Jalaluddin Rumi and his thoughts were late to flourish in the Indonesian context. Based on historical analysis, this study concludes that Rumi entered Indonesia late due to the language barrier. His work is available in Persian instead of Arabic, the lingua franca of the Islamic world. Furthermore, Rumi is also perceived as part of the Maturidi tradition, making it difficult for Rumi to enter Southeast Asia, which tends to identify itself with the Asharite tradition. This study concludes that two significant waves marked Rumi's entry into Indonesia. The first wave refers to the spread of Iqbal's thoughts in Indonesia. The second wave refers to the Iranian revolution, which made the Persian language famous among Indonesian Muslims, opening access to Rumi's thoughts, the emergence of the Anand Khrisna movement interested in Rumi, and the translation of Rumi's works from English into Indonesian.
