#ICAIOSevent Undangan Terbuka Kuliah Tamu (Guest Lecture Series) International Centre for Aceh and Indian Ocean Studies (ICAIOS) “Aceh in Malabar and Malabar in Aceh: Islamic Textual Interconnections of the Indian Ocean World” Pembicara: Mahmood Koria (Kandidat Ph.D, Leiden University Institute for History, the Netherlands) Senin, 25 Agustus 2014; Pukul 16.15 – 18.00 WIB. Di Ruang Seminar ICAIOS Darussalam Banda Aceh Abstract: Despite a long tradition of historical interconnections between Malabar (southwest India) and Aceh (northwest Indonesia), very few scholars have analysed it concretely. I would try to shed a little more light on how these two regions have been interacting each other, mainly focusing on two texts: Hikayat Prang Peuringgi and Wiqayat al-abrar. Aside from material, social, cultural and political remnants of the past, the Islamic textual corpus of the Indian Ocean world is a better way to substantiate this trans regional intellectual links.The Islamic legal and jihadi texts produced in both regions had common socio-political contexts that appealed to the audiences across borders. Hikayat Prang Peuringgi of Aceh talks about the Acehnese wars against the Portuguese in sixteenth century in the same tone as many such Malabari texts as Tuhfat al-mujahidin,Fath al-mubinand Tahridahl al-iman incited its audience against the Portuguese. On another hand, the nineteenth-century Malabari scholar Sayyid Fadhl bin Alawi’s legal text titled Wiqayat al-abrar was translated into Malay and was widely circulated particularly in Aceh as the Shafi’i legal thoughts and practices set a common ground.
