ABSTRACT Huge rallies organized by Islamists at the end of 2016 in Jakarta attracted scholarly debate, with some arguing that the influence of Islamists is rising. However, members of those Islamist groups are still a minority in Indonesia. Examination of Islamist groups alone hardly explains why so many middle-class individuals outside these organizations supported and took part in the rallies. This article argues that the Islamist leaders of rallies intentionally created a dhikr assembly-like atmosphere to attract dhikr followers and other ordinary Muslims to take part. I then scrutinize the response of Majelis Rasululluah (The Prophet’s Assembly, MR), one of the biggest Sufi dhikr litany associations in Jakarta. The MR leadership gave in to the overwhelming demand from its followers who wished to take part in such activities, called the political rally a ‘dhikr event’ and announced its permission to participate. Although relationships between Islamists and Sufis have been conventionally understood as antagonistic, this Indonesian case demonstrates that their temporary alliance can be possible.

当代印度尼西亚的城市苏菲派和政治:dhikr 协会在反“Ahok”集会中的作用

摘要 2016 年底,伊斯兰主义者在雅加达组织的大型集会引起了学术界的争论,有人认为伊斯兰主义者的影响力正在上升。然而,这些伊斯兰团体的成员在印度尼西亚仍然是少数。仅对伊斯兰团体的考察很难解释为什么这些组织之外有如此多的中产阶级支持并参加集会。这篇文章认为,集会的伊斯兰领袖故意制造了一种类似 dhikr 集会的氛围,以吸引 dhikr 追随者和其他普通穆斯林参加。然后,我仔细研究了 Majelis Rasululluah(先知大会,MR)的回应,这是雅加达最大的苏菲派宗教团体之一。MR 的领导层屈服于希望参加此类活动的追随者的强烈要求,称政治集会为“dhikr 活动”,并宣布允许参加。尽管伊斯兰教徒和苏菲派之间的关系传统上被理解为对立,但这个印度尼西亚的案例表明他们暂时结盟是可能的。
