Julian Millie spent a year attending a supplication ritual in which Muslims of West Java directed their prayers to Allah through ?Abd al-Qadir al-Jaelani (d. 1166). This man, whose tomb even today is a popular pilgrimage site in Baghdad, is widely considered the most powerful intercessor of all the saints of Islam. The supplication takes the form of reading or singing the narrative proofs of ?Abd al-Qadir?s saintliness in a ritual context. The ritual has deep roots in the Sundanese culture of West Java. The book captures the variety of understandings that participants bring to the ritual when it is held in various contexts, including Java?s largest Sufi order, religious schools and private homes. This first, book-length study of intercession through ritual reading in Indonesia will be of interest to scholars of Indonesian religions, Sufism and the anthropology of Islam. It expands our knowledge of Sufism and sanctity, and seriously considers the liturgical forms of village Islam, paying special attention to the use of Arabic supplications in localized ritual practice. 410 0$aVerhandelingen van het Koninklijk Instituut voor Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde$v262. 606 $aSufism$zIndonesia$zJawa Barat$xRituals 606 $aSundanese (Indonesian people)$xRites and ceremonies 606 $aHoliness$xIslam 606 $aPrayer$xIslam 607 $aJawa Barat (Indonesia)$xReligious life and customs 615 0$aSufism$xRituals. 615 0$aSundanese (Indonesian people)$xRites and ceremonies. 615 0$aHoliness$xIslam. 615 0$aPrayer$xIslam. 676 $a297.40955 700 $aMillie$b Julian$f1967-$01188463 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827595303321 996 $aSplashed by the saint$94076515 997 $aUNINA
