AbstrakAgama Marapu merupakan akar dari sistem sosial, politik, dan budaya orang Sumba. Di bidang sosial, ia mendasari terbentuknya pelapisan sosial dari kaum bangsawan, orang bebas, dan budak. Di bidang politik, golongan bangsawan mendapat legitimasi sebagai penguasa lokal (raja). Sementara di bidang budaya, agama ini melahirkan ritual yang diyakini berasal dari zaman megalitik, yaitu upacara kubur batu. Upacara ini diselenggarakan secara kolosal dengan melibatkan jaringan kerabat yang luas, pemotongan hewan dalam jumlah besar, penggunaan kain tradisional yang sarat makna, serta berbagai tahapan ritual yang dimaksudkan untuk mengantar arwah jenazah menuju alam leluhur (parai Marapu). Artikel ini mendeskripsikan konsep-konsep dalam agama Marapu dan manifestasinya dalam upacara kubur batu. Konsep-konsep dalam agama Marapu, meminjam analisis Clifford Geertz, telah menjadi model of reality dan model for reality bagi masyarakat Sumba dalam memahami kehidupan dan kematian. Sebagai model of reality, agama Marapu mengandaikan konsepsi ideal tentang kehidupan pasca-kematian, yaitu parai Marapu. Sementara sebagai model for reality konsepsi mengenai parai Marapu menjadi panduan (peta kognitif) untuk memuliakan orang yang meninggal melalui penyelenggaraan upacara kematian, pemberian bekal kubur, dan persembahan hewan kurban. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, di mana proses pengumpulan data dikerjakan dengan cara melakukan observasi, wawancara mendalam, serta kajian pustaka. Informan dalam penelitian ini adalah kerabat atau anggota keluarga yang hadir dalam penyelenggaraan upacara kubur batu.AbstractMarapu belief is the root of the social, political, and cultural system of Sumba. Socially it underlies the formation of social stratification: the nobles, free people, andslaves. Politically, the nobility have legitimacy as local rulers (kings). Culturally, this belief has given birth to rituals called stone grave ceremony which dates back to megalithic era. The ceremony was held in a colossal way involving extensive network of relatives, large amount of animal slaughtering, the use of very meaningful traditional fabrics, as well as various stages of rituals that are meant to take the bodies to the millieu of an cestral spirits (Parai Marapu).This article describes the concepts of Marapu belief and its manifestations in the stone graveceremony. Borrowing Clifford Geertz’s analysis, concepts in Marapu belief have become a model of reality and models for reality for the people of Sumbain understanding life and death. As a model of reality, Marapu belief counts on ideal conception of life after-death that is Parai Marapu. Whileas a model for reality the conception of Parai Marapu becomes a guide (cognitive map) to honor the dead through the organization of the funeral ceremony, grave goods offering, as well as animal sacrifices. This study used a qualitative approach, in which the process of data collection was conducted through observation, in-depth interviews, and bibliographical review.

With the use of philological and historical approach, uses text and contextual analysis, the paper highlights some findings, that the three Acehnese manuscripts -- Ar-Rahmah Fi at-Tibb wa Al-Hikmah, a manuscript of Teungku Nurdin, and a manuscript of Teungku Amir -- explain traditional medical treatment preventing the disease outbreak. Historically, the Acehnese used traditional medication therapy by means of consuming herbs beside staying as close as possible to religion and intensifying prayer to God.
