| description | This thesis highlights what transpired in the aftermath of the death and funeral
of K.H. Abdurrahman Wahid, who is well known as Gus Dur. He was one of the
charismatic religious leaders of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and the fourth Indonesian
President who died in the end of 2009. Immediately after his funeral, pilgrims began
to arrive to pay their respects. Since then, the number of pilgrims to the site has
significantly increased to currently 5000 � 7000 pilgrims everyday around the clock.
This phenomenon has initiated many changes in the area such as the development of
road infrastructure, the expanded pilgrimage location, parking lot expansion and the
emergence of a new class of merchants offering wide range of goods. Interestingly,
some people justify this phenomenon as a sign of Gus Dur�s sainthood say that Gus
Dur deserves to be the tenth saint (Wali Kesepuluh) in Java.
To understand the above phenomena, this paper examines the new social
understanding of sainthood in Java regarding to the pilgrimage phenomenon at Gus
Dur�s grave in Tebuireng, Jombang, East Java. Using the theory of social
construction, theory of structuration and the additional concept of charisma, this
thesis discusses the social understanding of wali and how it relates to the perception
of Gus Dur as the Tenth saint.
Generally, the recognition of sainthood can usually be traced to someone's
contribution in the spread of Islam, as well as the recognition of a high level of
spirituality. Spirituality can be discerned through a high level of piety and the magic
power of a person. In the case of Wali Songo (Nine saints), people recognized them
as saints by a combination of two things |
