Abstract

This paper concludes that the role of tasawwuf in socio-cultural transformation in Indonesia is substantive. This conclusion refers to the interpretation of literary sources and Sufi texts in the history of the classical Nusantara. This is contrary to the opinion of some experts who state that tasawwuf only plays the role of forming surface Islam (Islamic formality) in the Nusantara world. Some Islamic indicators of substance brought by Sufis were mentioned by Malay history expert Syed Muhammad Nuqaib al-Attas in his book Historical Fact and Fiction. General indicators can be seen through the phenomenon of social and cultural transformation occurring neatly and without theological confrontation. The existence of pesantren in the Nusantara is also a substantive impact of the sufistic role in socio-cultural transformation in the archipelago. This paper also discusses several Sufi texts and texts that have a significant impact on the socio-cultural life of the archipelago. Some Sufi figures from the archipelago have also been involved with global issues about Islamic problems. This paper uses historical methods in describing library sources. The texts were then analyzed through a sociology-anthropology approach.
