Many
interesting things to talk about life on the island of Lombok, in
particular on the history of the origins of society, the kingdom that
ever existed, belief and religion, to the attractions on offer. So on this occasion I tried to lift a theme of some of the things that exist on the island of Lombok. Here's the explanation:A. PreliminaryLombok
(population in 1990: 2,403,025) is an island in the Lesser Sunda
Islands or Nusa Tenggara are separated by the Strait of Lombok from Bali
to the west and the Alas Strait to the east of Sumbawa. The island is roughly circular in shape with a sort of "tail" on the southwest side whose length is approximately 70 km. This island is the extent of 4725 km ² (slightly smaller than Bali). The main town on the island is Mataram.Lombok
Strait marks the entrance of the biogeographic separation between the
fauna in the region Indomalay and fauna are very clear differences in
Australasia known as Wallace's line, named after its discoverer Alfred
Russel Wallace.Mapping
of the island of Lombok is dominated by the stratovolcano Mount
Rinjani, which reaches a height 3.726m (12 224 feet), which makes Mount
Rinjani became the third highest mountain in Indonesia. In the valley of Mount Rinjani, you will find lush green forests, paddy fields and beautiful waterfalls.The
most developed centers in the west is Senggigi, spread 30 kilometers
along the coast road just north of Mataram, while the divers are usually
gathered together in Gili, who was on the west coast.The southern part of the island of Lombok is a fertile land where corn, coffee, tobacco and cotton growing. One
of the most popular destinations is Kuta, famous for its untouched
beaches and some people consider this beach is one of the best surfing
spots in the world.The
total area of 4.752km2 (1825 sq mi) are 2,950,105 people (2005), 85%
were Sasak tribe, which was originally expected to move from Java in the
early centuries before Christ. Since
the population studied Islam Sasak tribe, the scenery on the island of
Lombok from many filled with mosques and minarets, and the traditional
village of Sasak tribe, you can discover the rural life with its unique
culture. Other residents include 10-15% Balinese, with the rest are Chinese, Arabic, Java and Sumbawa.2. The beginning of historyPre-history
era Lombok land is unclear because until now there is no data from the
experts and evidence to support the pre-history of this land of Lombok.Sasak
tribe including in the type of Malay race who is said to have lived in
Lombok over 2,000 years ago and is thought to have occupied the coastal
areas since 4,000 years ago. Thus the inter-island trade had been active since the era and with it the interplay between cultures has also been spread.Mirah
Sasak Lombok Adi is one of our Negarakertagama quote, a book which
contains about Majapahit empire of power and governance. The
word "Lombok" in kawi means a straight or honest, the words "ruby"
means jewel, the word "sasak" means the fact, and the word 'adi' means a
good or a major. Then the whole meaning of honesty is the jewel of the fact that either or principal. Maybe
that's the philosophy of meaning that has always dreamed of ancestral
inhabitants of the land in Lombok is created as a form of local wisdom
that must be maintained and dilestariakan by his descendants (children
Sasak). In the book - the book of old, found the name of so-called Lombok Lombok and Lombok adi ruby. Some also mentioned the ejection Lombok Lombok with Selaparang or selapawis gumi.The
origins of the population of the island of Lombok are in some versions,
one that says "sasak" in etimilogis according to Dr. Goris. s. derived from the word "legitimate" means to go and "shaka" which means ancestors. Means going to the land of ancestors Sasak (Lombok). From this etymological ancestor is assumed Sasak people are Javanese. It
was determined from the writings of the Sasak people of Lombok called
Jejawan, namely that more Javanese literature diresepsi by the Sasak.Sasak
traditional ethnic majority are inhabitants of the island of Lombok,
Sasak tribe is the main ethnic groups covering almost 95% of the
population entirely. Other
evidence also suggested that the inscription on the barrel - the barrel
is found in Pujungan, Balinese, Sasak tribe had inhabited the island of
Lombok since IX to XI century AD, the Sasak word in the inscription
refers to places such as ethnic or customs of the Balinese people to
date are called the island of Lombok with sasak gumi, which means the soil, earth or island where bermukimnya Sasak people.Lombok
history can not be separated from the control and the alternation of
wars in which both internal conflict, the battle between the kingdom in
Lombok as well as external ie outside the control of the kingdom in
Lombok island. The development era of Hindu, Buddhist, raises several Hindu kingdoms such as Selaparang, and Bayan. The
kingdoms of the journey in the submission by the ruler of the Majapahit
empire of Gajah Mada expedition when the century XIII - XIV and the
royal mastery Gel - Gel from Bali in the sixth century.Between Java, Bali and Lombok have some cultural similarities such as language and writing. If the trace of origin - as they suggested many Javanese Hindu roots. It
did not escape the influence of the Majapahit empire mastery likely to
send their family members to order or build the kingdom in Lombok. Bali
is a very strong influence in the culture of Lombok it can not be
separated from the expansion carried out by the Balinese kingdom around
the year 1740 in the western part of the island of Lombok in a long
time. So much going acculturation between the local culture with the culture of immigrants. This can be seen from terjelmanya genre - genre mix in the arts. Many traditional performing art genre originated or taken from the traditions of the ethnic performing arts. Sasak and Balinese take and borrow each other, so creating a new genre of art that attract and complement each other.Gumi
Sasak experienced successive transfer of power to the Islamic era that
gave birth to the Islamic empire and Pejanggik Selaparang. There are several versions of the entry of Islam to Lombok during the sixteenth century AD. The first comes from the Javanese Islam in a way in through the east of Lombok. The second Islamization from Makassar and Sumbawa. When the doctrine was accepted by the nobility teachings quickly spread to the kingdoms in east Lombok and Lombok middle.Sasak
ethnic majority are Muslims, but in fact the influence of Islam as well
acculturated to the local belief, forming the flow as wektu telu, if
analogous to abangan in Java. At this time the existence of wektu telu is less a place because it is not in accordance with Islamic Shari'a. Islamic
influence is strong shift of power in the Hindu island of Lombok, up to
now can be seen it was only in the west of the island of Lombok alone,
especially in the city of Mataram.Alternation
of tenure on the island of Lombok and the inclusion of other cultural
influences impact on the rich and varied repertoire of Sasak culture. As a form of meeting (diffusion, acculturation, inculturation) culture. As in the case of art, a form of art in Lombok is very diverse. Original art and each other entrants melengakapi so as to create new genres. Most noticeably influence acculturated to the local art bali art and influence of Islamic culture. Both bring a major contribution to the development of art-art that is in Lombok to the present. Implementation
of the meeting of cultures in the arts, namely, that the influence of
Bali; Arts plash, quarts gerantang, jangger Dance, Gamelan Thokol, and
that is the art of Islamic pengaru Rudad, Cilokaq, Wayang Sasak, Gamelan
Tambourine.3. Study of the kingdoms in LombokAmong the sources of history that can be used to explain the origin of Lombok is Lombok Chronicle. According to the Chronicle of Lombok, the island of Lombok's oldest kingdom called the Kingdom of Laeq. However,
other sources, namely Suwung Chronicle states that, the oldest kingdom
in Lombok is built and Suwung kingdom ruled by King Betara sense. After this Suwung Empire receded, emerging Kingdom of Lombok. Which is true, or Suwung Laeq? Everything is still under debate.Briefly,
the order of the founding of the kingdoms in this area can be traced as
follows, with a note that this is not the only version that develops. At first, the kingdom is Laeq standing. It is estimated, were located at Sambalia district, East Lombok. During
its development, and migration, community Laeq move and build a new
empire, the empire Pamatan, in Aikmel, Sembalun village now. This rural location adjacent to the Mount Rinjani. At one point, Mount Rinjani erupted, destroying villages and kingdoms around him. The spread of the population fled to safer areas. The transfer marks the end of empire Pamatan.After Pamatan stopped there Suwung empire founded by Batara sense. Location of the kingdom is located in the area Perigi today. After the royal Suwung ends, then later came the kingdom of Lombok. Over the course of history, the kingdom of Lombok and then suffered the devastation of Majapahit army attack in 1357 AD Raden Maspahit, Lombok monarch fled into the woods. When
the soldiers returned to the Javanese Majapahit, Raden Maspahit out of
the woods and set up a new empire under the name Stone Parang. During its development, the kingdom was then known as Selaparang.In
connection with Selaparang, this kingdom is divided into two periods:
first, the Hindu period lasted from the 13th century AD, and ended by
the expedition of Majapahit kingdom in the year 1357 AD, and second, the
Islamic period, lasted from the 16th century AD, and ended in the 18th century (1740 AD), after the kingdom was conquered by the joint forces of Karang Asem, and Banjar Bali Getas.Before the 16 st Century Majapahit Lombok is in power, the Supreme Patih Gajah Mada sent to Lombok. In
the late 16th century until the early 17th century, heavily influenced
by Java, Lombok Islam through propaganda conducted by Sunan Giri, also
influenced by the Makassar. This causes a change of religion in the Sasak tribe, formerly Hindus to Islam.At the beginning of the 18th century AD, the empire conquered Lombok Bali Gel Gel. Heritage of Bali are very easy to see is the number of communities that inhabit the Hindu Bali and Lombok Mataram West. Some of the major temples are also easily found in both these areas. Lombok
managed to free from the influence of Gel Gel after the expulsion of
the royal Selapang (East Lombok) with the assistance of the kingdom is
in Sumbawa (Makassar influence). Some
soldiers reportedly Sumbawa many eventually settled in East Lombok, as
evidenced by the presence of several villages in East Lombok Northeast
Bank is the majority of the population speak the language of Samawa.The above description can at least show that, the kingdoms are really there, once stood, developed later collapsed. How information, such as social and cultural life of ordinary people and the royal family at that time? Historical data reveals that there are not many facts.According
Djelenga Then, a more meaningful historical record of the kingdoms in
Lombok expedition started from the influx of Majapahit in 1343 AD, under
the leadership of Nala MPU. Nala MPU expedition was sent by Gajah Mada as part of its attempt to unite the whole archipelago under the banner of Majapahit. In the year 1352 AD, Gajah Mada come to Lombok to see for themselves the development of the conquests.According Djelenga, expedition is leaving a trail of Majapahit kingdom in Bali Gel gel. While
in Lombok, standing four major interrelated royal brothers, namely:
Bayan kingdom in the west, East Selaparang kingdom, the kingdom Langko
in the middle, and Pejanggik kingdom in the south. In
addition to the four kingdoms, there are several small kingdoms, like
Parwa and chock Samarkaton well as several small villages, such as
Pujut, Tempit, Kedaro, Stone Jerky, Kuripan, and Kentawang. And villages throughout the kingdom was subdued under the Majapahit. When Majapahit collapsed, kingdoms and villages it became an independent territory.Between the kingdom and in the villages, the most prominent and best known is the kingdom, based in Labuan Lombok Lombok. Royal center is located in the strategic Gulf of Lombok, is very beautiful with lots of fresh water sources. Strategic
position and the number of water sources caused it is frequented by
merchants from various countries, such as Palembang, Banten, Gresik, and
Sulawesi. Thanks to a lively trade, then the kingdom of Lombok is growing rapidly.The arrival of the Dutch invadersThe Netherlands has come up and managed to subdue many kingdoms in the archipelago. Character
of Dutch imperialism which wanted to control all the trade routes of
the archipelago has caused outrage in Sulawesi kingdom of Gowa. Trade routes in the north was ruled by the Dutch. To
prevent the collapse of the path south, then south Gowa took the
initiative to close the path to mastering the island of Sumbawa and
Selaparang. The
arrival of European colonists also brought Christianizing mission,
therefore, Gowa and then conquered the West Flores and establish the
Kingdom of the Manggarai to prevent proselytizing.Gowa Gelgel expansion raises concerns. To
prevent Gelgel not used the Dutch, the Gowa then entered into an
agreement with Gelgel in 1624 AD, called Sagining Agreement. Stipulated
in the agreement, Gelgel not be entered into cooperation agreements
with the Netherlands, while Gowa will release his control over
Selaparang. This agreement did not last long, because each party is violating the agreement.To compensate for Gelgel in cooperation with the Dutch, then Gowa in cooperation with the Mataram in Java. Furthermore, in an effort to compete for hegemony, war finally broke out between the Gowa and the Netherlands in Lombok. In the war, defeated Gowa, until forced to sign a treaty with the Netherlands in Bungaya. Bungaya
is a place located near the center of the Kingdom of Gelgel in
Klungkung, Bali, and is a symbol of the close relationship between
Gelgel the Netherlands.The consequence was the defeat of the Netherlands Gowa, Gowa must surrender all his territory in Lombok, Sumbawa and Bima. Utilizing the vacancy Gowa, Gelgel Selaparang again tried to conquer, but always failed.Although it has managed to beat Gelgel Selaparang, however, the kingdom is not completely safe from external threats. In the process, then stood up two new empire in 1622 AD, the Kingdom of Pagutan and Pagesangan. In
anticipation of the threat, then Selaparang put a small army of
soldiers to guard the border under the command of Patinglaga Deneq
Wirabangsa.Apparently,
the destruction Selaparang not attack these two kingdoms, but the
attack army expedition in 1672 the Kingdom of Karang Asem M. Empire Center Selaparang flattened, while the royal family are all killed. Since then, the Kingdom of Karang Asem became sole ruler in Lombok.4. Social and Cultural lifeIn the King Rangkesari, Lombok (Selaparang) reached its heyday. At that time, cultural life flourished. The wise men from well-controlled Selaparang Kawi language, a language developed in the archipelago at the time. Thanks
to advances in the literary world, finally, scholars Selaparang
succeeded in creating a new script, the script called Jejawen Sasak.With
sufficient knowledge Kawi language, and literacy Sasak Sasak,
Selaparang many writers write, compose, adapt, or copying of ancient
Javanese literature into lontar Sasak. Among these are lontar Kotamgama, Lapel Adam, Menak Berji and Rengganis. In addition, the poets are also a lot of copying and adapting Sufi teachings of the Walisongo. Copies and adaptations are apparent in lontar entitled Jatiswara, Lontar Nursada and Lontar Nurcahya. Even the tale-tale Malays were much copied and adapted, as Lontar Yusuf, Amir Hamzah and Tale Tale Sidik Orphan.More in-depth study of lontar will be able to uncover the social, cultural and political community at the time of Lombok. In
political science, for example, Lontar Kotamgama outlines the nature
and attitude of a leader, ie, Danta, Danti, Kusuma, and Warsa. Danta
means elephant ivory, that is, if issued, may not be included again;
Danti mean saliva, that is, when it is thrown to the ground, it may not
lick anymore; Kusuma means flowers, that is, the same flower may not
bloom twice; Warsa means rain , that is, when it has fallen to earth, not likely climb back into the clouds. That is why, a king or leader should be careful in every action, so do not make many mistakes.Thus, the Kingdom Selaparang appear, grow and then collapse. However,
these remnants of the civilization that left written shows that, in the
cultural life of this country is quite vibrant and growing.5. Interest in Lombok (Sasak tribe)If the note is physically, Sasak tribe is more like the Balinese than in Sumbawa. From this aspect can be derived from the Sasak people of Bali. Now living in Bali looking for people coming from?Here
is a collection of historical photographs of the Royal Tropical
Institute Museum Tropen around 18-19 century, describing the social life
of the people of Lombok in the Dutch colonial era:Photo 1: King of LombokPhoto 2: King MantangPhoto 3: Interest in Lombok 1Photo 4: Interest in Lombok 2Photo 5: Interest in Lombok 3Photo 6: Public Sakre hamlet in 1897Photo 7: Community CakranegaraPhoto 8: Drum Dance BeleqPhoto 9: Mistress of the Company in the market AmpenanAuthentic evidence of Sasak tribeA
few weeks ago, there is a send to me an authentic proof of the origin
of the Sasak tribe who saved his family in Central Lombok. Evidence in the form of a family tree that led to a name: Prince Datu Djajing Heaven (from Majapahit, Kabangan, East Java). From
the evidence is authentic, it is clear seen that the Sasak tribe which
inhabited the island of Lombok, actually comes from Java.LanguageSasak
language, especially the script (written language) is very close to the
script of Java and Bali, as well as using the script Ka Ra Ha Na Ca ...
etc.. But the pronunciation is quite close to Bali.According
to the Ethnologue that collects all the languages in the world, the
Sasak language family (Languages Family) of Austronesian
Malayo-Polynesian (MP), MP Nuclear, Sunda-Sulawesi and Bali-Sasak. Meanwhile,
if we look at it directly, Sasak language developed in Lombok was very
diverse, both dialect (pronunciation) and vocabulary. It's very unique and can show many influences in its development. When
the East Lombok regency government wanted to make a dictionary Sasak,
they are overwhelmed by the variety of Sasak language in East Lombok,
although in general can be classified into: Kuto-Kute (Northern Lombok),
Ngeto-Ngete (Southeast Section Lombok), Meno -Mene (Central Lombok), Ngeno-Ngene (Central Lombok), Mriak-Mriku (Southern Lombok). From
the aspect of language, Papuk Bloq, could be derived from the Javanese
(Malayo-Polynesian), Vitname or Philipine (Austronesian), or from
Sulawesi (Sunda-Sulawesi). Tribal Council may soon menerbitakan Sasak Sasak history books and complete dictionary Sasak.6. Spiritual life in LombokThe influence of Hinduism - BuddhaBalinese Hinduism, brought by the followers, immigrants from the island since the 17th century AD permualaan. Hindu-Balinese are Hindu-Buddhist teachings syncretizing, which is also called Shiva-Buddha. According to Sartono Kartodirjo (1975).Photo 10: Pura Kelepuk Milu, LombokBefore immigrants come from Bali, the beautiful and fertile island, named Gumi Selaparang and inhabited by the Sasak people. Until
the 17th century, there are two kingdoms Sasak Pejanggik the kingdom as
a kingdom in Central Lombok inland and coastal kingdoms Selaparang as
the royal capital in Heaven, Labuan Lombok in East Lombok.Entering
the 17th century (1600s), in waves of immigrants from Karang Asem Bali,
came to the island of Lombok to open agricultural land and established
settlements. The
new residents came, apart from being harassed by the royal kingdom
kerajaanya neighbors in Bali, as well as the less favorable tofografinya
for agriculture, with land area of the hills. These
settlements were known as Sengkongok (at the foot of Mount Pengsong),
Pagutan, Pagesangan, and Mataram (Mataram in the municipality) and Tanaq
Embet (at Senggigi).Influence of IslamAt
the beginning of the introduction of Islam to the island of Lombok,
many people who adhered to Animism, but the arrival of one priest from
Java, Sunan Prapen the few places that a base can still be found up to
now.In terms of the spread of Islam, first determine the role of Sufis in addition to the merchants who came from Gujarat, India. Sufis came from Java that much to bring the influence of the Wali Songo. Then followed the teachings of the sheikh Yusu Makassar institutes, etc.. From
the source of the teachings of Shaykh Yusuf, have received direct at
the time he was in Florida or from the followers of followers in the
archipelago. While
from the other sheikh received directly in Makkah at the time of the
master teachers of Lombok, perform the pilgrimage and lived there
several years to deepen their knowledge.Sufis
who spread Islam is derived from the influence of Wali Songo leave
groups of people who came to be called Wektu Barbadensis (three times)
to distinguish it from others, which have undergone a process of
Islamization, Islam Lima Time.When the King of Lombok Mumbul King died, he was succeeded by King Rangkesari. In the reign of this Rangkesari, son of Sunan Giri Queen named Prince Prapen come to Lombok for the Kingdom of Islamization. Based
on the Chronicle Lombok, Islamization is an attempt Raden Paku (Sunan
Giri Queen) of Gresik to spread Islam to the different areas of the
archipelago.Prince Prapen do Islamization in Lombok by force of arms. After the people of Lombok to Islam, he later went on Islamization efforts to Bima and Sumbawa. After the death of Prince Prapen, Lombok society back to the origin of religion, paganism. This
is due to Lombok many women who have not embraced Islam, so it was able
to persuade his family to return to the origin of religion.Having managed to get a victory in Sumbawa and Bima, Prince Prapen back to Lombok. With
the help and Raden Raden Sumuliya Salut, Prince Prapen then compile a
new missionary movement to Islamize Lombok and managed to achieve
success. The entire island of Lombok successfully Islamicised, except in some places. People who refuse to convert to Islam and then retreated to the mountains, or be conquered.Apart
from Islamization, other major events that occurred in the reign of
King Rangkesari is the transfer of the capital of the kingdom, from
Labuan to the village Selaparang. This
is an initiative of the transfer of the capital Banda Patih Patih Lion
of Judah, and Judah, on the grounds, lies the village of Selaparang more
secure than strategic and Labuan. With the transfer of the Kingdom of Lombok to Selaparang, then, then the kingdom is also known as the Kingdom of Selaparang.In
the previous description stated that the kingdom was divided Selaparang
two periods: (1) and the Hindu period, (2) the period of Islam. Apparently,
the meaning of the second period the Kingdom Selaparang (Islamic
period) is the capital of the Kingdom of Lombok who move into
Selaparang, so-called Kingdom of Selaparang.Lombok or Selaparang kingdom is constantly evolving, so the kingdom Gelgel in Bali is feeling the competition. Therefore, Gelgel who feel as heir to the greatness of Majapahit then attacked Lombok (Selaparang) in 1520 AD However, this attack was foiled by Selaparang. During its development, the Kingdom itself Gelgel then also suffered a setback.7. Tourism on the island of LombokIf we look at from the aspect of history, can be derived Sasak people of Java, Bali, Makassar and Sumbawa. But
it could also into four ethnic groups were not Papuk Bloq sasak people,
but only a great influence on the development of Sasak tribe.Lombok island has an area of 473 780 hectares is not only store a wealth of natural attractions alone. Talk Lombok Island of the mind wander to a stretch of Senggigi beach exotic, beautiful, and charming. White sandy beach with small waves is not be missed. No wonder that many tourists and foreign tourists menyinggahinya archipelago.Lombok is in many ways similar to Bali, and in the decade of the 1990s began to be known by foreign tourists. But with the advent of financial crisis and other crises, the potential of tourism rather not fail. Then
