This thesis is an attempt to understand the views of Nawawi al-Banteni on the subject of Sufism, especially as they appear in his work Salalim al-Fudala', commentary on the Hidayat al-Adhkiya' ila Tariq al-Awliya' of Zayn al-Din al-Malibari / By observing the existence and the development of Sufism in Indonesia and the career of Nawawi al-Banteni the thesis tries to achieve a better understanding of his contribution in the field. Earlier studies have tended to discuss him and his works in general, whereas this study concentrates more specifically on al-Banteni's Sufi thought through his comments on the subject. / Another question that is raised is that of Nawawi al-Banteni's originality in his commentary on the Hidayat al-Adhkiya' of al-Malibari. Finally, the important point is made that Nawawi does not seem to have been influenced by either heterodox or pre-Islamic concepts, which were relatively powerful in Indonesia of his day. On the other hand he had a great influence on the people or his country, especially in his home town Banten, in terms of the development of both nationalism and Islamic education in Indonesia.
