Dynamics of Islamization in Indonesia in The 15th-16th Centuries AD

The study of the dynamics of Islamization in Indonesia in the 15th-16th centuries is important and warrants further research. This is due to the nature of the study, which remains the subject of discussion and debate. This paper aims to understand three main aspects: first, the form or paradigm of the study; second, the internal and external factors that influenced it; and third, the positive and negative impacts or implications of the survey of Indonesian society. This research uses a literature review method, employing an article review or review paper approach based on Mestika Zed's theory. Data were collected through a literature review and analyzed using content analysis. The results found 3 things: First, there are 5 forms of the theme paradigm: (1) Trade; (2) Education; (3) Culture; (4) Marriage; and (5) Politics. Second, internally, 2 factors influence the theme: (1) Islamic kingdom support, and (2) the role of Indonesian Ulama. As for the external influences, there are 2 factors: (1) Da'wah of foreign Ulama, and (2) International trade interactions. Third, there are 4 positive implications: (1) Cultural diversity; (2) Socio-political stability; (3) Formation of Islamic identity; and (4) Rapid spread of Islam. Meanwhile, the negative implication is that the Da'wah of Islam creates social tension due to differences in religion and local culture.

Abstract

The study of the dynamics of Islamization in Indonesia in the 15th-16th centuries is important and warrants further research. This is due to the nature of the study, which remains the subject of discussion and debate. This paper aims to understand three main aspects: first, the form or paradigm of the study; second, the internal and external factors that influenced it; and third, the positive and negative impacts or implications of the survey of Indonesian society. This research uses a literature review method, employing an article review or review paper approach based on Mestika Zed's theory. Data were collected through a literature review and analyzed using content analysis. The results found 3 things: First, there are 5 forms of the theme paradigm: (1) Trade; (2) Education; (3) Culture; (4) Marriage; and (5) Politics. Second, internally, 2 factors influence the theme: (1) Islamic kingdom support, and (2) the role of Indonesian Ulama. As for the external influences, there are 2 factors: (1) Da'wah of foreign Ulama, and (2) International trade interactions. Third, there are 4 positive implications: (1) Cultural diversity; (2) Socio-political stability; (3) Formation of Islamic identity; and (4) Rapid spread of Islam. Meanwhile, the negative implication is that the Da'wah of Islam creates social tension due to differences in religion and local culture. The conclusion of this paper shows that the dynamics of Islamization in Indonesia in the 15th-16th centuries AD were very complex, comprehensive, and complete.
