Abstract

The main problem addressed in this study is the large number of ancient manuscripta that have not been revealed in the content and only limited to the study of the textual criticism. One of them the results of the research conducted by H. Sanwani Sanusi, who only converted and edit the words of the Hikayat Ghulam manuscript. This text, however, has many values in it if studied. Therefore, the aim of this study was to reveal the religious contents of Hikayat Ghulam text and to pass the nation's culture on to the next generation. A descriptive qualitative method with a hermeneutic approach was used in this research. The design included an initial stage where several literature studies were searched and data collected by a careful reading of the text and transfer of the script. This was followed by the identification and classification of the data according to the problems highlighted in the study. Furthermore, a validity test was conducted through the use of triangulation techniques. The results showed there are religious contents in the text of Hikayat Ghulam indicated by faith, Islam, ihsan, science, and charity. The faith aspect found include faith in God, the Prophet, and destiny while the Islam aspect involved implementation of worship such as prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and alms. Furthermore, the Ihsan had to do with the feelings about the presence of God through repentance, following His commands and avoiding His prohibitions. The science was found to include the knowledge of the verses of the Koran and the hadith of the Prophet as suggested in Q.S. Ali-Imran: 159 and the prohibition on following passions in Q.S. Al-Jasiyah: 23. The charity was centered around community life, including helping people who are weak and distressed, doing charitable deeds, being fair, forgiving each other, and working to fulfill life. The result of this study can be applied in literary learning in schools related to understanding the content of the hicays.
