TASAWUF SUNDA DALAM NASKAH ASMARANDANA NGAGURIT KABURU BURIT (OR. 7876)

Abstract

This article aims to examine the wujūdiyyah teaching of ‘Sundanese Sufism expressed in Haji Hasan Mustafa’s work of ‘Asmarandana Ngagurit Kaburu Burit’. Mustofa is considered as the greatest Sundanese poet whose work features have the strong influences of wahdat al-wujud. This study shows that this work contains Sufi’s path that explores the self and its encounters with Supreme Being and the self’s diffusion, where there is no longer existence except the One. Mustafa called his Sufi poetry imperfect suluk because it was written in late afternoon. His work reveals local Sufi accommodation to wahdat al-wujud in Sundanese language and culture.
