This study explores the genealogy of Islamic scholarship in Tegal, focusing on the sanad (chain of transmission of knowledge) of wali, kiai, and santri in a historical and cultural context. This research is motivated by the importance of understanding the origins of Islamic scholarship that is connected (muttasil) in order to avoid intervention and manipulation of religious genealogy. The method used is qualitative with a historical approach and textual analysis of classical manuscripts such as Sérat Rambang and colonial archives. The results of the study show that Islam in Tegal was spread through a network of scholars from Demak and Cirebon, with central roles played by figures such as Syaikh Maulana Maghribi, Syaikh Datuk Kafi, and Mbah Panggung. Sufi teachings, particularly the Shattariyyah Order, flourished and posed a threat to Dutch colonial rule. Additionally, this study highlights the contribution of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in Tegal, founded by K.H. Muchidin al-Churaifis, as a manifestation of the transformation of traditional knowledge into modern scholarship. These findings enrich the body of knowledge on Islam Nusantara by emphasising the importance of scholarly lineage in preserving the authenticity and blessings of knowledge.
