Gowa king is obliged to protect the royal allies in Ambon. War is known as Hongi war. A year after that the Dutch sent 12 ships to the waters of Makassar and started shooting at the fort Galesong. Fortunately, a year before an earthen fort had been altered and made from stone, while the fleet of boats and ships of war have left the waters of Gowa Makassar as a tactic to avoid clashes. Dutch attack was a total failure.
Dutch Company desires to conquer Gowa mengusai and getting stronger. Various means are used. In June 1637 the Dutch Company, led the Governor-General Anthony Van Diemen had made an agreement with the Kingdom of Gowa. Van Diemen requested that the King of Gowa ban Portuguese and English trade in Makassar, but the request was rejected by Sultan Alauddin. The Dutch have not dilated to live and stay in Makassar. At that time King of Gowa to receive foreign guests at his palace in the fort contained Somba Opu.

Holland promised, when the kingdom of Gowa one of the nation at war with the Dutch Company should not participate interference. enemy is not the enemy of the kingdom of Gowa Netherlands ".
In 1657 the Netherlands Willem Bastingh sent again because they do not like to see trade between Hitu, Seram and Makassar went well, because they want to monopolize the trade. The messenger carrying ominous ultimatum to the Sultan Hasanuddin. The ultimatum was rewarded with a letter that also pitched hard. Sultan Hasanuddin not give up. More fiery spirits, each equipped fortress. Dutch Company to choose war, prepared a large fleet of 31 warships and 2700 trained soldiers led by Johan van Dam and assisted by Johan Truytman. This war lasted for almost 2 years old. Dated June 12, 1660 at Fort Panakkukang fell to the Dutch.

Pemulangan Jenazah Syekh Yusuf

                               (Makam syech yusuf di Makassar )

MENYAMPAIKAN syiar Islam, memelihara dan mempertahankan agama Islam di kalangan golongan Muslim merupakan perhatian dan aktivitas Syeikh Yusuf di Afrika Selatan. Sebagai sufi, dia mengajarkan tarekat Qadiniyyah, Shattariyyah, dan Rifaiyyah di kalangan Muslim Afrika Selatan. Dia meninggal dunia tanggal 22 Mei 1699 dan dimakamkan di Faure, Cape Town. Makamnya terkenal sebagai Karamah yang berarti 'keajaiban, mukjizat'. 

     Sultan Gowa meminta kepada VOC supaya jenazah Syeikh Yusuf dibawa ke Tanah Airnya. pemulangan itu tidak mendapat restu dari pemerintah Kompeni. "Masih ada ketakutan dari penjajah akan munculnya semangat perlawanan dari Nusantara jika dipulangkan," Setelah melewati perdebatan secara panjang dengan Belanda akhirnya jazad beliau tiba di Goa 5 April 1705 dan dimakamkan kembali di Lakiung. Seperti makamnya di Faure, makamnya di Makkasar juga banyak diziarahi orang. Fakta bahwa Syeikh Yusuf memiliki dua makam menimbulkan spekulasi. Dalam perjalanan pulang itulah, jenazah Syekh Yusuf sempat disinggahkan di beberapa tempat, seperti Sri Lanka, Banten, Sumenep (Madura), terakhir di Makassar. Daerah-daerah itu dikenal  banyak tinggal murid dan pengikut tarekat Khalwatiyah. "Di setiap daerah yang disinggahi, maka para pengikut dan murid berinisiatif membuat makam sebagai bentuk penghargaan dan penghormatan. Makanya makam Syekh Yusuf itu diyakini di beberapa tempat," Sejarawan De Haan percaya Belanda mengirimkan kerangka Syeikh Yusuf ke Makassar dan karena itu makamnya di Faure telah kosong. Di pihak lain, tulis Prof Azyumardi Azra dalam makalahnya, orang-orang Muslim di Cape percaya hanyalah sisa sebuah jari tunggal dari Syeikh Yusuf yang dibawa kembali. Spekulasi ini mungkin ada benarnya mengingat sebuah legenda di Goa mengenai jenazah Syeikh Yusuf yang dimakamkan kembali. Menurut legenda, pada mulanya hanya sejemput abu yang mungkin sisa-sisa jarinya yang dibawa dari Afrika Selatan. Tapi abu itu bertambah terus sampai mengambil bentuk seluruh badan penuh Syeikh Yusuf tatkala tiba di Goa.

            Dalam sejarahnya, Syekh Yusuf merupakan pendiri ajaran tarekat khalwatiyah. Kemudian, Syekh Yusuf juga berhasil mendapat dua penghargaan sebagai pahlawan nasional dari Indonesia pada 9 November 1996 dan dari pemerintah Afrika Selatan pada 23 September 2005.

        "Afrika Selatan memang sangat berterima kasih pada Syekh Yusuf karena ajaran Islam di sana yang tidak membedakan warna kulit. Dia di sana bahkan digelar As-salam,"

Makam Syekh Yusuf berada dalam sebuah kompleks. Untuk menandai makam tersebut, dibangun sebuah kubah, dikenal dengan Ko'bang, berukuran 11 x 11 meter persegi. Dalam kubah tersebut terdapat 11 makam termasuk Syekh Yusuf. Sedangkan lainnya adalah istri dari Sultan Gowa, I Sitti Daeng Nisanga, yang berada di sisi kiri dan Raja Gowa, Sultan Abdul Jalil, yang berperan besar memulangkan jenazah Syekh Yusuf.

       Sembilan makam lainnya adalah pengikut dan kerabat dari Syekh Yusuf, yang masing-masing bernama Mappadulung Daeng Mattimung, Karaengta Panaikang, Syekh Abd. Basyir, Tuang Loeta, I Lakiung, Tanri Daeng, Tanri Uleng, Tanri Abang dan Daeng Ritasammeng.

Makam tersebut kini menjadi cagar budaya yang harus dipeliharan karena dilindungi Undang-undang.

Doa Yang Dikabulkan

Allah Yang Maha Rahman pasti mengabulkan doa-doa hamba-Nya, karena Dia Yang Maha Tinggi telah berfirman:

“Dan apabila hamba-hamba-Ku bertanya kepadamu tentang Aku, maka (jawablah) bahwa Aku adalah dekat. Aku mengabulkan permohonan orang yang berdoa apabila ia memohon kepada-Ku. Maka hendaklah mereka itu memenuhi segala perintah-Ku dan beriman kepada-Ku agar mereka selalu berada dalam kelurusan.” (Al-Baqarah: 186)

“Berdoalah kalian kepada-Ku niscaya Aku akan mengabulkan permohonan kalian.” (Ghafir: 60)
Selain adab-adab berdoa yang perlu diamalkan agar doa tersebut mustajab (dikabulkan), ada pula waktu, tempat, dan keadaan yang perlu diperhatikan saat berdoa. Sehingga diharapkan, doa itu akan di-ijabahi oleh Dzat Yang Maha Mendengar dan Maha Mengabulkan doa. Di antara waktu, tempat, dan keadaan tersebut adalah:
1. Malam Qadar (Lailatul Qadar)
‘Aisyah x pernah bertanya kepada Rasulullah n: “Wahai Rasulullah, apa pendapatmu bila aku mengetahui kapan malam Qadar itu (mendapatkan malam Qadar), apa yang harus aku ucapkan?” Beliau menjawab:

“Ucapkanlah (doa): Ya Allah, sesungguhnya Engkau Maha Pemaaf, mencintai pemaafan, maka maafkanlah aku.”
2.    Berdoa di tengah malam dan di waktu sahur
Allah I berfirman menyebutkan sifat hamba-hamba-Nya yang beriman:

“Dan pada waktu akhir malam mereka meminta ampun.” (Adz-Dzariyat: 18)
Abu Hurairah z menyatakan bahwa Rasulullah n pernah bersabda:

“Rabb kita Yang Maha Tinggi turun setiap malam ke langit dunia ketika tersisa sepertiga malam yang akhir seraya berfirman: ‘Siapa yang berdoa kepada-Ku niscaya Aku mengabulkan doa-Nya. Siapa yang meminta kepada-Ku niscaya Aku berikan permintaannya. Siapa yang minta ampun kepada-Ku maka Aku akan mengampuninya’.”
3. Di akhir shalat fardhu
Abu Umamah Al-Bahili z berkata: Pernah ada yang bertanya kepada Rasulullah n: “Wahai Rasulullah, doa apakah yang didengarkan (dikabulkan)?” Beliau menjawab:

“Doa yang dipanjatkan di tengah malam yang akhir dan di akhir shalat wajib.”
Ulama berbeda pendapat tentang apa yang dimaksud dengan di akhir shalat fardhu, apakah maksudnya sebelum salam atau setelah salam dari shalat? Ibnul Qayyim berkata dalam kitabnya Zadul Ma’ad: “Di akhir shalat bisa jadi sebelum salam dan bisa jadi setelahnya. Adapun Syaikh kami (Ibnu Taimiyyah t) menguatkan pendapat yang menyatakan sebelum salam.”
Sedangkan Asy-Syaikh Ibnu ‘Utsaimin t berpandangan4 di akhir setiap shalat fardhu adalah sebelum salam, sehingga doa itu dipanjatkan setelah membaca tahiyyat akhir sebelum mengucapkan salam sebagai penutup ibadah shalat. Beliau berkata: “Riwayat yang menyebutkan adanya doa yang dibaca di akhir shalat maka berarti doa itu dibaca sebelum salam. Sedangkan dzikir yang dinyatakan untuk dibaca di akhir shalat maka maksudnya dzikir itu dibaca setelah selesainya shalat. Karena Allah I berfirman:

“Apabila kalian telah selesai dari mengerjakan shalat, berzikirlah kalian kepada Allah dalam keadaan berdiri, duduk ataupun berbaring di atas rusuk kalian.” (An-Nisa`: 103)
4. Antara adzan dan iqamah
Anas bin Malik z berkata: Rasulullah n bersabda:

“Doa yang tidak tertolak adalah (doa yang dipanjatkan) antara azan dan iqamah.”
5. Ketika dikumandangkan adzan dan saat dirapatkannya barisan, berha-dapan dengan barisan musuh di medan tempur
Sahl bin Sa’d z berkata: Rasulullah n bersabda:

“Dua waktu/keadaan yang tidaklah tertolak doa yang dipanjatkan ketika itu atau jarang sekali ditolak, yaitu doa ketika diserukan panggilan shalat dan doa ketika peperangan saat merapat/mendekatnya sebagian mereka dengan sebagian yang lain (bertemu/berhadapan dengan musuh di medan perang, -pent.)”6
6. Suatu waktu di malam hari
Jabir z berkata: Rasulullah n bersabda:

“Sesungguhnya pada malam hari ada satu waktu yang tidaklah bersamaan dengan itu seorang muslim meminta kepada Allah satu kebaikan dari perkara dunia dan akhirat melainkan Allah akan memberikan perminta-annya tersebut, dan itu ada di setiap malam.” 
7. Suatu waktu pada hari Jum’at
Abu Hurairah z berkata bahwasanya Rasulullah n menyebut hari Jum’at, beliau berkata:

“Di hari Jum’at itu ada satu saat/waktu bila bertepatan seorang hamba muslim melaksanakan shalat lalu ia minta kepada Allah I sesuatu melainkan Allah akan memberikan perminta-annya tersebut.”
Beliau mengisyaratkan dengan tangannya untuk menunjukkan singkatnya waktu tersebut.
Ulama berbeda pendapat tentang batasan waktunya. Ada yang mengatakan waktunya adalah saat masuknya khatib ke masjid. Ada yang mengatakan ketika matahari telah tergelincir, ada yang mengatakan setelah Ashar, dan adapula yang mengatakan waktunya dari terbit fajar sampai terbit matahari. (Al-Minhaj, 6/379)
Namun dalam riwayat Abu Burdah bin Abi Musa Al-Asy’ari didapatkan penetapan waktunya. Abu Burdah berkata: Abdullah bin ‘Umar c berkata kepadaku: “Apakah engkau pernah mendengar ayahmu menyampaikan hadits dari Rasulullah n tentang waktu pada hari Jum’at tersebut?” Abu Burdah menjawab: “Iya, aku mendengar ayahku berkata: Aku pernah mendengar Rasulullah n bersabda:

“Waktunya adalah antara imam duduk sampai ditunaikannya shalat (Jum’at).
8. Ketika sujud
Abu Hurairah z berkata: Rasulullah n bersabda:

“Paling dekatnya seorang hamba dengan Rabbnya adalah ketika ia sedang sujud maka perbanyaklah oleh kalian doa ketika sedang sujud.”10
9. Doa pada hari Arafah
Rasulullah n menyatakan dalam sabdanya:

“Sebaik-baik doa adalah doa pada hari Arafah.
10. Doa setelah berwudhu
‘Umar ibnul Khaththab z mengabarkan bahwa Nabi n bersabda:

“Tidak ada seorang pun dari kalian berwudhu lalu ia membaguskan wudhunya, kemudian berdoa:

‘Aku bersaksi bahwa tidak ada sesembahan yang benar kecuali hanya Allah saja tidak ada sekutu bagi-Nya, dan aku bersaksi bahwa Muhammad adalah hamba dan rasul-Nya,’ melainkan akan dibukakan baginya pintu-pintu surga yang delapan yang bisa ia masuki dari pintu mana saja yang ia inginkan.”
11. Ketika membaca surah Al-Fatihah dan menghadirkan (meresapi/merenungi) bacaannya
Abu Hurairah z berkata: Aku pernah mendengar Nabi n bersabda: “Allah I berfirman: ‘Aku membagi shalat (yakni surah Al-Fatihah) antara Aku dan hamba-Ku menjadi dua bagian dan untuk hamba-Ku apa yang ia pinta.’
Apabila si hamba membaca:

Allah I  berfirman: ‘Hamba-Ku memuji-Ku.’
Bila si hamba membaca:

Allah I berfirman: ‘Hamba-Ku menyanjung-Ku.’
Bila si hamba membaca:

Allah I berfirman: ‘Hamba-Ku memuliakan/mengagungkan Aku.’
Bila si hamba membaca:

Allah I berfirman: ‘Ini antara Aku dan hamba-Ku dan bagi hamba-Ku ia dapatkan apa yang dimintanya.’
Bila si hamba membaca:

Allah I berfirman: “Ini untuk hamba-Ku dan untuk hamba-Ku apa yang ia pinta.”13
Wallahu ta’ala a’lam bish-shawab.

Istana Luwu riwayatmu kini

Istana Datu Luwu di Kota Palopo. Foto: Eko Rusdianto

 Di depan bangunan Istana ada beberapa tiang yang sudah rapuh. Bentuknya sudah tidak berdiri tegak, bengkok karena bagian tengah telah kosong di gerogoti rayap.

Istana kedatuan Luwu itu masih berdiri, kecil  tapi tak terawat. Temboknya dicat dengan pewarna murahan. Dia seperti pertapa yang dilupakan, ditelantarkan oleh riuhnya pembangunan kota Palopo.

Sebuah sore pada Sabtu, 26 November 2011, saya berkunjung ke istana itu. Udaranya sejuk, hampir tak ada debu. Kompleks istana itu berdiri di lahan yang lapang. Ada bangunan dengan tembok dan rumah panggung yang besar.

Di bagian depannya, ada tugu badik berdiri dengan megah dikelilingi kolam teratai. Di sekitarannya ada taman, rumputnya tercukur dengan rapi. Itulah istana Luwu, sekarang di jalan Andi Tenripadang. Istana itu tak luas, hanya memiliki tiga ruangan, kamar untuk datu – gelar bagi raja Luwu dan kamar untuk para dayang istana. Sementara bagian lobi digunakan sebagai museum.

Luwu dalam sejarah Bugis merupakan kerajaan pertama. Hal ini bersumber dari Mitologi I La Galigo. Bermula pada abad ke 12 di Ussu di Luwu Timur, kemudian pusat kerajaan berpindah ke Pattimang-Malangke, dan pada abad 16 ke Palopo – sekarang Kotamadya Palopo. Pada tahap inilah pamor dan ketenaran Luwu berangsur meredup di kancah perdagangan nusantara.

Arkeolog Universitas Hasanuddin Makassar, Iwan Sumantri, mengatakan lunturnya kebesaran Luwu disebabkan pemerintahan Luwu tidak bergerak pada budaya agraris. Sistem pertanian tidak berkembang.

Namun ketika pusat Luwu berada di Pattimang –Malangke Luwu menapaki periode paling penting. Ekspor damar, rotan, hingga besi Matano. Tapi saat Belanda melalui VOC, serikat dagangnya memasuki Nusantara dan menjadikan hasil bumi seperti cengkeh dan pala bergeliat, Luwu tenggelam.

Pada 1559, VOC memilih Makassar sebagai pusat perdagangan untuk Indonesia Timur, sementara Luwu yang berlokasi di perairan Teluk Bone menjadi kesepian. Tak ada aktivitas.

Saya sungguh penasaran melihat kebesaran dan cerita itu. Ketika pada Minggu 27 November 2011, saya mengunjunginya kembali. Memasuki beberapa ruangan dan melihat koleksi sejarahnya. Saya miris. Tak ada yang tersisa di istana itu.

Beberapa tahun lalu, arsip penting kerajaan Luwu hilang. Benda-benda peninggalan pada periode penting lenyap. Opu To Marilaleng atau Menteri urusan rumah tangga dan Tana Luwu, Andi Nyiwi membenarkan hal itu.

Beberapa kali dia membuka kacamatanya yang tebal dengan gagang coklat. Dia mengusap matanya, sembab. “Saya tidak tahu. Sebelum saya masuk semua tempat ini kosong,” katanya sembari menunjuk tempat-tempat penyimpanan pusaka.

Kini pusaka-pusaka itu mulai dikumpulkan kembali, tapi tak sebanyak dan selengkap semula. “Susah nak, nda tahu mau cari kemana lagi,” lanjutnya.

Menurut dia, Istana hanya seperti tinggalan yang tak penting. Pemerintah tidak memperhatikannya. Istana seperti tak dianggap sebagai bagian dari pembentukan Kota Palopo.

Di Beranda belakang Istana, seraya merapikan sarungnya, Andi Nyiwi menunjuk dua buah tiang penyangga plafon. “Dulu ini tiang ini bambu semua, sudah dimakan rayap. Ini baru saja diganti. Itupun saya harus marah dan berteriak,” kata Nyiwi.

Saya juga menjumpai, di tembok-tembok istana catnya terkelupas. Kalau merabanya dengan telapak tangan, maka warna putih temboknya akan menempel. Di depan bangunan Istana ada beberapa tiang yang sudah rapuh. Bentuknya sudah tidak berdiri tegak, bengkok karena bagian tengah telah kosong di gerogoti rayap. Disampingnya ada dua buah tiang bambu.

Saya meninggalkan istana itu dengan perasaan yang penuh tanya. Saya berhenti di luar pagar memperhatikan ke dalam. Apakah fungsi istana ini sekarang? Rajanya, tak ada di tempat, tapi di Kalimantan mengikuti suaminya. “Tugasnya diserahkan sama Opu To Marilaleng. Saya nak,” kata Nyiwi.

Wakil Walikota Palopo, Rahmat Bandaso, mengatakan pada saya, jika istana hanyalah bagian dari peninggalan kebudayaan. “Tapi memang, pemerintah dan Istana tak ada hubungan kerja,” katanya. “Ini bukan seperti Jogja. Jadi ya biasa saja.” (Eko Rusdianto)
