Öz: Bu makale Rukiye Hanim’ın kimliği, kısmen biyografisi ve ilişkilerini ele almaktadır. Rukiye Hanim, modernMalezya’nın siyasi ve akademi dünyasında kayda değer rol almış üç ailesinin ‘büyükannesi’ olmasıyla tanınıyor.19. yüzyılın sonlarına doğru, kardeşi Hatice Hanim’la birlikte Johor Sultanı Ebubekir’e Osmanlı Sarayı’nın hediyesi olarak gönderildiği ileri sürülmektedir. Bu makale, kimi çevrelerin Rukiye Hanim’ın ilişkileri bağlamında ortaya attıkları görüşler üzerine gündeme geldi. Bu çalışmanın yazarları bu Hanim hakkında gündeme getirilen mevcut anlatıları, Benedict Anderson’un ‘icad edilmiş hafıza’ kavramına atfen dikkatlere sunmaktadır.Çalışmada, bir dizi hatalı imgeler etrafında kurgulandığı ileri sürülen Rukiye Hanim’la ilgili bazı detaylara dikkat çekmektedir. Bu çerçevede, çalışma, bugüne kadar kaleme alınmış birincil kaynaklar kadar, Rukiye Hanim’ın hayattaki yakınları ile yapılan sözlü anlatıya dayanmakta ve içerisinde Türkçe, Malayca ve İngilizce kalemealınan eserler karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bu araştırma, söz konusu cariyelerin Osmanlı Saraya ilesine mensup olmadığını, aksine başka bir ulusa mensup sıradan kişiler olduğunu bulgulamaktadır. Rukiye Hanim kimliği etrafında oluşturulan sansasyonel imaj, Türkiye ve Malezya’da bazı belirli çevrelerin tarihi gerçekleri farklı yorumlamalarına dayanmakta ve bu imaj ile modern Türkiye ve Malezya ilişkileri tarihsel olarak örüntülenmek istenmektedir.

Mubtadi’ which can be translated as ‘The Guide for Right Path for the
New Starting Brothers’ a classical Malay Jawi text written by Shaikh
Dāwud b. İsmail b. Mustafa Rumi. As it is understood from the title, it is
a teaching material catering to individual needs of fundamental Islamic
knowledge, say, fi qh, or designated as course material for the initial stage
of a traditional Islamic education centre. The importance of this work is
based on its having been actively used since it is written and recurringly
produced generation by generation in larger segments of the Malay world
from Aceh to Kelantan.
The work aims to introduce both the work and its author accordingly.
The former is aligned with its importance, in particular about its teaching
methodology. In addition, the biographical information of the writer
is believed to introduce us both his personal life story as much as the
sources allowed peculiarly his engagement with scholarly circles in Aceh
and also the socio-cultural and political environment during his lifetime
of the Japanese Imperial army to the north of Sumatra Island in the Pacific
War. While the Acehnese political leaders observed the victory of the Japanese
against the Russians in 1904-1905, the former also supported the policies of the
Japanese Empire against the Western colonialists in the following decades in the
whole region, including the Dutch in the Archipelago. At this point, since the
second half of the 1930s, the Japanese aggressive policy of expelling the Western
colonial powers from the Asia-Pacific region, within the framework of the “Asia
for Asians” policy, ensured the renewal of the spirit of resistance in the regional
communities in the region. In this context, the role of the political elite and relevant
political developments in Aceh, which seem to have not been significantly
brought to the fore in the context of the Pacific War in academic writings, deserve
to be a subject of research. With the start of the Pacific War in 1941 (Perang Asia Timur
Raya/Dai Toa Seaso), the Japanese army penetrated the Malay Peninsula from
the south of Thailand in late 1941. Upon this development, few representatives of
PUSA, which was the developing politico-religious institution during that time in
Aceh, were able to contact with the Japanese military administration, in particular
the Japanese intelligence department, F-kikan, in Kedah Province for the purpose
of expulsion of the Dutch colonial rule in Aceh land. By this political initiative, the
Japanese military officers were encouraged to land in North Sumatra by this effort,
or at least a possible landing process of the Japanese military was expedited.
The study is based on the review of the literature in different languages and applies
the hermeneutic method. The role played by the Aceh political elite just the
beginning of the Pacific War through engagement with the Japanese army shows
that there is a continuity in the resistance of the Acehnese put forward towards
first the Dutch military forces and then colonial administration commencing from
the Dutch War in 1873 and continued till 1942.
