  • The traditional Javanese dance art of Kuda Kepang is dying in Singapore. As art practitioners and leaders of local Kuda Kepang groups desperately try to revive this precious art form, its reputation continues to plague their efforts.
    Can Singapore get past the dance's controversial practices like eating glass and being in a ‘trance’, or is this art form doomed to extinction?

    Kuda Kepang had been declared haram by certain Islamic authorities because the ritual involved chanting incantations directed towards supernatural entities other than God. The ritual also supposedly involved the ritual of spirit possession. This was deemed to be in violation of the Islamic doctrine of the Unity of worship towards the One God.

    This is why you shouldn't similize javanese with malays, bcuz both have very different underlied philosopy. For malays : religion is everything, but for javanese : culture is everything. Haram? Once again, Javanese mindset is not like Malays in terms of art form, and you can't force it.

      Just like Arab Saudi , they have marina where bikini cladded women can be seen , is this Islam teaching , ISIS killed Muslim , in Malaysia Islam punishes Muslim with 2 laws shariah and cilvil , Islam teaches Islam to punish islam , Islam is very individualistic just like Anwar Ibrahim of Malaysia Keadilan , keadil for who ? For himself!!! , Why the Malay has two laws did he fight for the Malay where is the Keadilan untuk Rakyat I think Anwar Ibrahim is Indian and his wife is Chinese , Are you South East Asian ?

    Kuda Kepang should be Haram as much as Dabus and any non Islamic performic arts.both involve the invocation of unknown spiritual entities into the body,self mutilation, and prolong trans…Islam teaches us to be aware of our surroundings and not to be preoccupied by any unIslamic practices, losing consciousness except for the remembrence of Allah..do not try to equate some animistic culture into Islamic teaching because in the end your funeral is held in Islamic “arab” way not by cremation nor any other unIslamic
