sometimes in prayer and supplications they often heard the call to the Angel of God in order soon down from the Sky to guide them running towards the tomb makhrifatullah. rapa'i dhikr sign in to Aceh along with the inclusion of Islam by the end of 1 hijriyah or the beginning of 2 hijriyah. the time leaders Islam using drum (rapa'i) while remembrance or bersalawat to the Prophet Muhammad. not to berdebus.

rapa'i dabus (language Aceh - daboih), is a dance kesaktian which tune most Acehnese South since the Netherlands come to Acehnese. usually performed in the event the crowd, wedding, circumcision apostles and night reception folk art in the anniversary of the independence of the Republic of indonesia
first, in tapaktuan at the beginning of the nineteenth century ad, art rapa'i dabus began competed between regions (kewedanaan) by Dutch government on the day anniversary of the birth of Queen wihelmina. in fact during the Sultan Iskandar young (1607 - 1636) art rapa'i dabus this is prohibited displayed. since that time of Sheikh abdurrauf (Shia Kuala) being advisors sulthan Iskandar young proscribe game rapa'i dabus this reason, in art rapa'i dabus there are some things in violation of Islamic law that kaffah, among others are:
a. see-nampakkan attitude takabbur (essentially of the word of God Almighty in a letter Inter alia-believers verse 72 which reads: fabik samast Wal mutakabbiriiin, meaning that: "the hell jahannam that's as bad as-a bad place for people who boasted (takabbur ') . 
breakfast. invite hubris / boasts themselves to the human (due to accidentally on display in the audience). Islam is prohibited adherents boasted because an excess of belonging, whereas the right to arrogant should only God. arrogant it is a shawl God could not be used by humans. when used also God will be angry and the wrath of as a threat him in the qur'an 
C.. invite attitude want to compete, competing to beat the advantages and kesaktian opponents. then given the opportunity to cheat (treacherous) to the opponent in berdabus. so often participants rapa'i dabus wounded covered blood (be a victim of cheating opponents) . 
D. doubt member (participants) rapa'i dabus not able to be tawaduk and posts' (humble) in the Association of everyday and do not like see-nampakkan (make much of) miracle / immune anywhere. in fact the attitude of posts' and tawaduk and humble, patient, hide / conceal sanctity (if in rapa'i dabus called the Milky), and not Riya is the guidance of Islam kaffah. essentially is the word of God in a letter Inter alia ma'un paragraph 6 that reads:" alladziinahum yuraaa-UN ". means:" the people who do Riya ". the interpretation of this verse: Riya is to do something charity deeds not to find keridaan God but to find a compliment or Fame in the eyes of masyarakat.//// Hey. rapa'i dabus will finally invited hostility, because each party competing certainly would like more than his opponent; want more powerful, greater or want to be praised by the audience, which eventually if it is feel completely more will pinned sense ujub (admire the self), when is embedded in the heart of sense ujub, then arise sense degrading or underestimate the others. Islam never taught things like that. thus the basics of that's the Sheikh abdurrauf (Shia Kuala) proscribe game rapa'i dabus this on the Golden age of the Kingdom of sulthan Iskandar young 
way game rapa'i dabus in the game rapa'i dabus, in addition to use the musical instruments drum, it is also necessary tools sharp weapons, among others, namely:
a. fruit dabus
B reakfast. rencong sword
D. Cleaver Hey. dagger
F. cobblestone weighing 5 - 10 kg G. chain
H. iron per car I. saws chain-saw (tool loggers the base of the big tree). Arts rapa'i dabus played 20 -30 people with formation sitting circular, each holding a rapa'i (drums). this group led by a" the Caliph) the person who mastering the intricacies perdabusan, including the master of science immune / hold weapons tajam.
so sya'ir-sya'ir was sung, leader or one of the member dabus into the circle and greet (shake hands) with the Caliph as well as members of dabus being hit the drum one by one. then with sharp weapon in the hands, he did movements dance in the concentration of follow the rhythm of drum while listening prayers are believed to be in the heart. when the sound rapa'i has formations rumble, members holding sharp weapon began to jump while Bend-liukkan body while stabbed thighs, hand, stomach or kepalanya.
and even the player's very how dare shredding his tongue and slitting his neck own even gouging seeds his eyes with a knife edge or rencong in his hand. all that he did happen in the Milky; the thighs, stomach, hand ditikamnya it resistant stabbing or not injured at all. even machete sharp deliberately digorokkan neck other members, but also the immune and even looked rencong, knife or sharp weapon other it looked bent and broken when dihantamkan happiness body mereka. 
ithat's when interesting and he exclaimed game rapa'i dabus this. there is also the Caliph and a member dabus beratkrasi entwine chain hot iron was flushed neck, agency or to waist them. there is also the game beat yourself with chain straight to the head and danced in bloh apui (unggunan fire), or attributing cobblestone weighing 5- 10 kg to top of the head. or Bend the iron per to broken by hand. as well as sawing stomach them with chain-saw. in conclusion, all things to do they do not follow by sharp objects or immune of punch and waves heavy objects though.
among members rapa'i dabus, because this art is performances kesaktian, then each they are very emphasized that do not arrogant and proud to anyone and don't exist intention-intention certain (derogative). if this taboo violated, then on self-member rapa'i dabus will happen Mala disastrous, he could fell covered blood with cuts deep due to stab her own. or will hurt at certain times and all the science of immune who believes will siRNA instantly with things trivial. because that Akbar (large) is a God, nonhuman!
there are 2 (two) type of art rapa'i dabus known in Aceh South: the dabus rapai ngadap the art dabus only using musical instruments rapa'i without dhikr. event this art commonly performed on the night Friday in meunasah (Hall meeting of the village). the second dabus rapa'i ordinary the art dabus shown as entertainment the celebration, warning and events lainnya.
are people who are immune sharp weapon or bullets are everywhere because they are practicing the science of immune with reviewing the origin of iron or the origin of other things, even they know the origin of something objects in fact is believed to be something objects that have a life. well with expressed the origin of the object in the reading of prayer or spells, the object obedient and subject to the person, then that's the thing that could be bent, broken or broken - according to the willingness people memerintahkan.
logic is indeed the Prophet Adam Allah entrust mandate to master the names of objects in the world's not to Angel or the Devil, even the Devil himself told to bow to the Prophet Adam, but the Devil rebel until the last day. while Prophet Adam with his descendants entrusted by God to be the Caliph (leader) in the Earth with words his many encountered in Scripture Inter alia qur'anul Karim. ////// then to delve history that was born science immune and diamalkan by people with the aim as tangkal body in the face of beasts and sharp objects - of course everything that after the permission and fall of Allah. because all the science of origin is from Allah - including science berdebus. in the Colonial period science this simply be used as the ordnance face of the enemy in Meda laga. 
as to know the believers-mukminat the practice of science immune he always obey and humble, patient and suit hurt feelings fellow Muslim, each actions sincere and stanch / istiqamah establishment not proud, not arrogant, fun and takbur.
if any already RIA, they quickly please pardon to reproduce istighfar and dhikr. as for a practicing the science of immune is very scared to death in a state of the heart is assumptive and ujub! precisely each seconds they always pray please pardon to God Azza WhatsApp jalla controls all power! aamiiin! *** (Darul qutni ch Secretary komnas-Wi Aceh South)
