KARAKTERISTIK PERHITUNGAN NAMA CALON PASANGAN SUAMI ISTRI MENURUT KITAB TAJUL MULUK KARYA SYEKH ISMAIL BIN ABDUL MUTHALIB

Abstract

This research was based on various cultural and religious acculturations in the marriage process in Indonesia. One of them was determining compatibility in choosing a partner. This procession originated the custom of the Banjar tribe called Babilangan. Babilangan is a calculation of the names of the prospective husband and wife to find out the harmony between the two prospective brides, and then it predicted the meaning of their future household life if there is a marriage bond. The basis for calculating this name is the Tājul Muluk Book and other classic books that discuss the Abjadiyyah rule. This study aimed to determine the concept of calculating the names of prospective husbands and wives based on Tājul Muluk Book by Syekh Ismail bin Abdul Muthalib and the book's position as the basis for the meaning of calculating names in Islamic law and customary law. Furthermore, to find out the relationship between the Sakinah family and the calculation of the names of the prospective husband and wife. This research was normative research using a qualitative descriptive analysis approach. The data collection technique used was literature study and documentation. The study results showed that the calculation rules were a pattern of Sunnatullah compiled by former classical Indonesian scholars. The calculation worked because the Abjadiyyah rule had a numerical value formulated in several ways to find the concept of meaning in the book. In practice, not all of the calculation results were 100% correct, but it was also possible that it had the potential to be close to the meaning contained in the Tājul Muluk Book. The relevance of Islamic law with this concept can be analogized as part of the effort and intermediary to carry out the household in the future.
