Sheikh Siti teachings of the most controversial Jenar associated with the concept of life
and death, God and freedom, and where the force of the Shari'a. Siti sheikh Jenar view
that human life in this world is referred to as death. In contrast, the so-called common as
death, it is referred to as the beginning of the essential and eternal life by it.
As a consequence, human life in this world can not be subject to laws that are mundane,
such as state law, but does not include worship of Shari'a law as determined by the sharia.
According to scholars at that time who understand the core teachings of Sheikh Siti Jenar,
people in this world do not have to fulfill the five pillars of Islam, the creed, prayer,
fasting, zakat, and hajj. For him, the new sharia would apply after a man living the life
after death. Siti Jenar sheikh also believes that God exists in himself, which is in the
mind. This understanding is propagated by the clergy in those days, similar to the concept
of Al-Hallaj (Sufi Islam who was sentenced to death in the early history of Islam, at about
the 9th century AD) on hulul related to the nature of God and human equality .
Ness of understanding where it should go through four stages, namely:

* Sharia, by executing the laws of religion such as prayer, charity, etc.,

* The order, by doing good deeds-deeds like wird, zikr in a certain time and matter,
* The nature, where the nature of human life and authenticity to be found, and
* Makrifat, the love of God with the widest possible meaning.
That does not mean that after entering such stages, the stages below it abolished. This
lack of understanding that can be understood by the scholars at the time of mysticism
presented by Sheikh Siti Jenar. The new science can be understood hundreds of years
after the death of Sheikh Siti Jenar. The scholars concerned about the misconceptions in
accepting the doctrine delivered by Sheikh Siti Jenar to the general public in which at that
time, the teachings of Islam to be submitted should be at the level of sharia, while
teachings of Sheikh Siti Jenar has far entered the stage the essence, even makrifat to God.
Therefore, the doctrine delivered by Sheikh Siti Jenar can only be stemmed with false
labels.
In pupuhnya, Sheikh Siti Jenar feel ashamed if necessary to debate the issue of religion.
The reason is simple, that is, in any religion, any adherents worship the true substance of
the Almighty, it's just adore each with a different name and run the teachings in a way
that is not necessarily the same. Therefore, each religion do not have to argue with each
other to get the recognition that religion is the most correct.
Siti Jenar sheikh also teaches that one may prefer the principle of sincerity in the conduct
of worship. People who worship with the hope of heaven or the reward means can not be
called sincere.
[Edit] Manunggaling servant Gusti
In his teaching, his supporters argued that Sheikh Siti Jenar never referred to himself as
God. Meaning of Gusti is not considered a servant Manunggaling mixing God with His
creatures, but rather that the Creator is the place back to back all the creatures and their
Lord, men have been united with his Lord.
In his teachings as well, meaning that Gusti Manunggaling servant in man there is a spirit
that comes from the spirit of God in accordance with the Quranic verse that explains
about the creation of man: [2]
"When thy Lord said to the angel:" Behold, I will create man from clay. So have I
perfected when it happened and Kutiupkan him of My spirit, then let you fell in
prostration to him. " Q.S. Sad: 71-72 "
Thus the human soul will merge with the spirit of God when his worship of God occurs.
Differences in the interpretation of Quranic verses from the students of Sheikh Siti is a
polemical in the human body that the spirit of God dwells, is a polemic subject
Manunggaling understand Gusti.
Understanding Zadhab
In the modern human condition as at present, is often encountered people who have

zadhab or excessive madness of God. They learn about how God works, so when his wish
was melting against the will of Allah, then he was thinking only of God. Around it does
not look another human being, but only God who wills.
Each event is God's intention for this servant. And this is jeopardized due to the absence
of teachers who guided Murshid Al Quran and Hadith then this servant will come out of
all the established rules of God to man. Because of this servant of Satan will easily be
affected, the higher the higher the level of faith is also Satan plunge.
[Edit] Hamamayu hayuning Bawana
This principle means the prosperity of the earth. This is similar to the main message of
Islam, namely rahmatan lil 'alamin. One person is considered Muslim if he could provide
benefits to the environment, instead of creating mischief in the land.

Greater controversy arose about the death of things Sheikh Siti Jenar. The teaching is
very controversial it led nervous officials of the Sultanate of Demak. On the power side,
the Sultanate of Demak concerned this doctrine will lead to revolt remember one of the
disciples of Sheikh Siti Jenar, or Ki Ki Ageng Pengging Kebokenanga, are descendants of
the Majapahit elite, like Prince fracture, and the resulting conflict between the two.
Of the Islamic religion, which sustains the power of the Sultanate Walisongo Demak
concerned this doctrine will continue to grow, spreading among the people astray. This
restlessness makes them an action plan for Sheikh Siti Jenar to immediately come face to
Sultanate of Demak.
Delivery and messenger of the Prince Sheikh Dumbo Bayat was not enough to make Siti
Jenar summons to come face to supposedly end the Sultanate of Demak the Walisongo
himself finally came to the village where the college Krendhasawa Sheikh Siti Jenar
located. [Citation needed]
The trustee and the kingdom agreed to impose the death penalty for the charge of Sheikh
Siti Jenar has defied the king. Then, set out five guardians proposed by Sheikh Maulana
Maghribi to Krendhasawa Village. The fifth trustee is Sunan Bonang, Sunan Kalijaga,
Prince modang, Festival, and Sunan Geseng.
When I got there, there was a debate between science and compete with the five trustees
Sheikh Siti Jenar. According to Sheikh Siti Jenar, the five trustees did not bother to kill
him because he can drink tirta marta (water of life) itself. He can go to the essentials of
life and if he wants budinya. [Citation needed]
Not long after, the corpse of Sheikh Siti terbujurlah Jenar before the fifth trustee. When
this was known by his students, the four students who are good at the same time, the
Bisono Ki, Ki Donoboyo, Chantulo Ki, and Ki Pringgoboyo come to end the "death" of

his mysterious ways as that of his teacher in front of the trustees. [ citation needed]
[Edit] The story of post-death

There is a story that says that when Sheikh Siti Jenar bodies buried in the mosque
Demak, before the evening prayers, fragrant flowers and the light radiating from his
body. Sheikh Siti Jenar own bodies buried under the mosque next Demak by the trustees.
Another opinion says, he was buried in the mosque Mantingan, Jepara, with another
name. [Citation needed]
After word got out the death of Sheikh Siti Jenar, many students who follow his teacher
to get to the essentials of life, among others Kiai Lonthang of Semarang, Ki Kebo
Boxwood, and Ki Ageng Tingkir.
Another controversy is that the largest possible Jenar Sheikh Siti is one of the leaders of
Islam with all its wisdom has been able to adapt Islam to the greatness of Hinduism and
Buddhism that became the Indonesian people hold so it can be seen clearly how the value
and authenticity of human life rather than the creator of existing in the Bhagavad Gita
combined with the value being taught the Koran. [citation needed]
This of course is not excessive, because the level of spirituality and wisdom which is
owned by Sheikh Siti Jenar, he will be able to do homage to the ancestors and to preserve
the truth value of the inherited, absorbing the new religion and make the adjustment to be
accepted by the entire nation to become a blessing virtue of the universe. If the trustees
songo with the pattern of movement that is trying to adopt the concept of worldliness
Nawa Sanga in the Hindu gods that they personifikasikan into the Wali Songo to change
society's view of Hinduism and Islam were turned to the use of stories like the
Mahabharata Hindu puppet / Brathayudha and Ramayana to help spread religion of Islam
with their rubber inserts into it, but Sheikh Siti Jenar adapt values that are already
contained in the Hindu and Buddhist communities in the Golden Age of the archipelago,
so the combination of the introduction to the community proved to be very suitable even
to this day. Proved that such dairah Jogjakarta is one of the areas with the existence of a
very high cultural and social institutions are highly civilized as a result of the application
of Buddhist Hindu concept of the ancestral Indonesian nation with Islam as a cultural
value of a new absorption. [Citation needed]
