ISLAM AND LOCAL WISDOM DALAM MASYARAKAT RIMBA DI HUTAN LINDUNG TAMAN NASIOAL BUKIT DUA BELAS (TNBD) PROVINSI JAMBI

Abstract

Abstract: Religion is an ideology as a driver and guidance in behavior and activity.
This paper describes the dynamics of religious life of the jungle community in the
protected forest of Bukit Dua Belas National Park (Jambi Province) with changes
and shifts that occur as the impact of cultural acculturation with modern people or
outsiders with all its problems. The jungle’s religious entity experiences a delimatical
position between defending its entity as Muslim jungle and/or merging into modern
Muslims out of the jungle. With the historical approach of the qualitative, descriptive,
analytical model, this paper concludes that there has been a fundamental change in the
religious life of the jungle, especially from the aspect of dogma, ancestral hereditary
doctrine, thus forming a symbiotic, accommodative and assimilative version of the
religious life. The occurrence of cultural acculturation is in fact the impact of a social
interaction that specifically occurs in the transitional period leading up to the reform
until now. Islamic jungle is very likely to change continuously according to changes
in their consciousness that is influenced by the social context of the people who enter
them. In addition, the religiousness of the Rimba is certainly supported by the Jambi
provincial government policy and the sustainability of the policy both in national,
regional and international scale.
