Konsep Syeikh Abdurrauf Singkel tentang Kematian dalam Naskah Lubb al-Kashf wa al-Bayan
Abstract: The esoteric nature
of Indonesian Islam during the 15th – 17th centuries makes it possible for the
debate on eschatological issues including the idea of death to flourish.
Abdurrauf Singkel was among the Sufis to have lived in this dynamic century and
was engaged in the debate on the issue of death. This paper is aimed at
discussing his views about death particularly by referring to his Lubb al-Kashf
wa al-Bayan. We discover that Singkel’s treatment of death is related to such
concepts of body, soul, salvation and human desire. We also find out that his
views found a logical consonance with that of the Javanese manuscript called
Serat Wirid idajat Djatinamun. Here human desire and destiny is symbolized in
color; red symbolizes human’s anger, black his evil deeds, yellow his mystical
attitude, and white his happiness and inner tranquility. The basic argument of
the two books is that control of one’s desire during his/her lifetime will help
determine his/her destiny in life to come.
