NILAI TOLERANSI DAN MODERASI BERAGAMA DALAM SULUK LINGLUNG SUNAN KALIJAGA

Moch. Idris Ainul Yaqin, Arief Ardiansyah, Moh Muslim

Abstract


Indonesia's diversity is a cultural wealth prone to conflict if unmanaged by accommodative religious understanding. In the midst of the threat of identity politics and religious extremism, Sunan Kalijaga bequeathed noble values for social harmony through his cultural da'wah, recorded in the Sufi literary manuscript Suluk Linglung. This study aims to examine the values of tolerance, religious moderation, and their systematic construction within the manuscript. Utilizing a qualitative library research method integrated with the PRISMA protocol, primary data from Iman Anom's (1884) Suluk Linglung were analyzed alongside secondary literature using Content and Thematic Analysis, complemented by a hermeneutic approach. The results indicate: First, tolerance is an active spiritual practice to subdue the sectarian ego (laku kidang), fostering inclusive awareness against takfiri attitudes by emphasizing esoteric over exoteric rituals. Second, religious moderation (wasathiyah) is manifested by balancing formal sharia and inner appreciation, avoiding extreme asceticism without knowledge (tapa tanpa ngilmu), and controlling the four destructive human lusts (aluamah, amarah, supiyah, mutmainnah) through the concept of 'mati sajroning ngahurip' to attain the Insan Kamil. Third, these values are constructed via Cultural Sufism using shadow puppet analogies spanning ecological (kelir and gedebog), sociological (The Puppeteer), and theological (The Responder) dimensions. The values in Suluk Linglung provide a profound philosophical framework for preventing extremism from its epistemological roots.
