Abstract

This article analyses the Hadrah as a form of cultural da‘wah in strengthening Malay-Islamic and Indonesian identity among the border communities of Temajuk (West Kalimantan) and Telok Melano (Sarawak). This study employs a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, involving community leaders, religious figures, and members of Hadrah groups in Temajuk and Telok Melano. The findings reveal that Hadrah functions as a strategic medium for strengthening Malay-Islamic identity, social solidarity, and Indonesian nationalism in border communities. Through practices that include zikir, the recitation of the Barzanji, religious study sessions, regular practice, and cross-border performances in Telok Melano—Hadrah reinforces Malay-Islamic identity whilst simultaneously embodying symbols of Indonesian identity. This article emphasises that community-based cultural da’wah can serve as a vital strategy in maintaining social cohesion and national identity in the border regions. This study contributes to da'wah studies by demonstrating how cultural performance serves as a mechanism for identity construction and social cohesion in border societies.

Abstract

This study examines Malay kinship terms and its role in shaping social identity among communities in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Employing an ethnographic approach within the framework of Social Identity Theory, it analyzes how this terminology functions in everyday life. Data were collected through interviews with 33 Malay participants from nine regions of West Kalimantan, complemented by an analysis of published materials on local kinship. The results indicate that Malay kinship terms act as tools for social categorization, in-group identification, and social comparison across different ethnic communities, reflecting complex socio-historical processes and inter-ethnic relationships. The study also demonstrates the influence of the national language, which serves as both a lingua franca and a prestigious linguistic resource in this context. These findings contribute to ethnolinguistic theory by confirming that kinship terms constitute a reflexive social practice that shapes communal life in both literal and symbolic dimensions.
