Abstract

The Bima Sultanate was one of the many sultanates that ever existed in the Malay Archipelago. Within the framework of Nusantara civilization, the Sultanate of Bima has succeeded in making Islam the Kingdom’s official religion. Islam as a new civilization in Bima began to take root since Islamization originated from the Gowa-Tallo Kingdom’s envoys. After Abdul Khair was asked to become the first king in 1621, the light of Islam increasingly shined in Dana Mbojo. This period is the beginning of the creation of a history for the shining of Islamic civilization in Bima. In addition, the restructuring of government institutions in 1640 also accelerated the process of Islamic revival, which was marked by a change in the Kingdom’s status to a sultanate and a king with the title of Sultan. The legacy of the Sultanate of Bima in the fragments of Islamic civilization in the archipelago is reflected in the history, culture, and local wisdom of the Dana Mbojo community. Asi Mbojo as the Palace of the Sultanate of Bima and the figure of Abdul Gani Al-Bimawy are two historical relics. Meanwhile, Rimpu (for Bima women) is a cultural heritage that brings together local culture with Islamic teachings. Maja Labo Dahu as a philosophy in social life and Nggusu Waru as a pillar of traditional leadership are representatives of local wisdom for the people of Bima. This paper aims to explain Islamization in the Sultanate of Bima and its legacy in shaping Islamic civilization in the archipelago.
