Sumbawa's Animism


Like people in other areas, some Sumbawa people still adhere to animism & some adhere to Hinduism. Before Islam came to Sumbawa, the people on the island first adhered to an animism & dynamism belief system, namely belief in the spirits of ancestors who had died. However, after Islamic teachings entered Sumbawa, the animist belief system & Hindu-Buddhist beliefs slowly began to disappear.

Apart from Sunan Prapen, Sunan Giri also sent one of his students named Sheikh Zainal Abidin, son of Kolono Marhum, the first King of Ternate to convert to Islam. After Kolono Marhum died in 1486, his position was replaced by his son, Sultan Zainal Abidin. It was only during the reign of the last King of the Awan Kuning dynasty, namely Dewa Maja Purwa, that records were found about the activities of the Kingdom's government, including that Dewa Maja Purwa had signed an agreement with the Kingdom of Gowa in Sulawesi.

1637 Mas Goa was succeeded by his sister's son, Mas Bantan. After Dewa Mas Goa was dismissed because he was deemed to have violated one of the peace agreements with the Kingdom of Gowa, he was forced to be exiled along with his followers, to approximately the current Utan Rhee sub-district area. Mas Bantan is the son of Raden Subangsa, a prince from Banjarmasin.

The result of his marriage to Mas Goa's sister, Amas Penghulu. Amas Goa has a sister, Amas Penghulu, who is married to Raden Subangsa from the Banjar Sultanate. Mas Bantan was born at the beginning of the period of power of the Dalam Bawa dynasty, replacing the Awan Kuning dynasty.

The length of his reign was from 1675 - 1701. The Sultan of Banjar around 1700 was Panembahan Tengah Sultan Tahmidullah. In 1702, Raja Mas Bantan handed over the kingdom to his son Amas Madina who had the title Muhammad Jalaluddin Syah.

Amas Madina married I Rakia Karaeng Agangjene, giving birth to a daughter who became Sultanah named I Masugi Ratu Karaeng Bonto Parang. After Sultan Kaharuddin I died, power was taken over by his wife, I Sugiratu Karaeng Bontoparang, whose title was Sultanah Siti Aisyah, who was the daughter of Sultan Muhammad Jalaluddin Syah. This female king was known to often have disagreements with the Sultan's servants until in 1761 she was removed from the throne.

I Sugiratu Karaeng Bontoparang was actually going to be replaced by Lalu Mustanderman Datu Bejing, but he refused. This is very possible because Sultan Muhammad Jalaluddin III ran the government for 48 years. Dutch power was increasingly rampant.

Right in May 1942, 8 Japanese warships landed at Labuhan Mapin under the command of Colonel Haraichi.

Indonesia is a large country with an area of ​​5,193,250 km2 consisting of many islands, including Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Maluku & many more. Batak is a tribal group that inhabits most of North Sumatra. Batak Toba is one of the Batak ethnic groups originating from this province. Batak Toba does not have to live in the Toba geographical area, even though their origins are Toba. For example, the majority of the indigenous population of Silindung are the Hutabarat, Panggabean, Simorangkir, Hutagalung, Hutapea & Lumbantobing clans. Likewise, the Nasution clan, which mostly lives in the Padangsidimpuan area, is related to the Siahaan clan in Balige, of course these two clans are descended from the same ancestor.

Pesisir's Animism

Image
Islam is thought to have entered through the east coast area, although there are assumptions from the west coast, especially in the Pariaman area, the Arcat and Inderagiri areas on the east coast have also become Minangkabau port areas & the Kampar River and Batang Kuantan have their origins in the Minangkabau inland area. The arrival of the Pesisir Tribe to Barus caused the ousting of Tamil traders who had traded in the city for hundreds of years before. The next wave was a group led by Sultan Ibrahimsyah who came from the South Coast. The Dutch East Indies government employed many of them to fill teaching and government positions. Pesisir / Pasisi means the area on the edge of the ocean. The name Pesisir Tribe for this group was never known until the 20th century. In the 2000 population census, the Pesisir people were classified as a separate ethnicity that was different from the Batak. In its development, the term Pesisir Tribe was used more to emphasize the political interests

Many studies have been carried out on the Minang tribe, both looking at the traditional arts, customs, and folklore that developed in Minangkabau. Like the Nias & Enggano tribes, the Mentawai tribe are supporters of the Proto-Malay culture who settled in the western archipelago. The new concrete road built this year may only be around 3 - 5 km long. It is not uncommon for a household to get fish, it will be processed into bamboo and can be heated for consumption over the next 10 days. They usually get other daily needs through trade relations with outsiders, especially from the city of Padang. Meanwhile, Sipora Island has gardens and rice fields managed by indigenous residents and people from other tribes who have transmigrant status. Furthermore, Pagai Island has more of a wood industry environment & service civilizations that work in the wood industry. Animism/belief in spirits has existed in several regions in Indonesia since time immemorial. Before getting to know Christian
