LEGITIMASI HADIS, PENGALAMAN MISTIS, IMAJINASI PASCA KEMATIAN DALAM TRADISI YASINAN PADA MASYARAKAT MELAYU SAMBAS

Abstract

The Yasinan tradition is a social phenomenon that lives in the Sambas Malay community due to the acculturation of local culture with Islam. This discussion aims to reveal (1) mystical views in the Sambas Malay culture and (2) acculturation of Islam and local culture in the Yasinan Tradition, including the legitimacy of hadith, mysticism and post-death imagination. This study uses a field research method in the form of living hadith using an emic approach. Discussion findings: (1) The Sambas Malay community has a strong attachment between Islamic teachings and magical traditions, which are manifested in beliefs in spirits and ritual practices such asn, which are a form of acculturation between local beliefs and Islam. (2) This acculturation gives rise to perspectives and beliefs that become the motives behind the implementation of the Yasinan Tradition. The community is able to read Yasin well and knows the text of the hadith reward and recommends the privilege of reading Yasin so as to form a perspective that reading Yasin is good behaviour and in accordance with Islamic law, although not everyone knows the contents of the verses and hadith texts. The community believes that reading Yasin can exorcise ghosts and evil spirits and as a medicine in treatment. In addition, people believe that the reward for reading Yasin can be used as charity for the deceased.
