Abstract

The tradition of waking the community for sahur is a cultural practice in Ramadan that continues to be observed across many regions of Indonesia, taking diverse local forms such as ronda sahur in Java, sahur bagarak in South Kalimantan, arakan sahur in Jambi, and keliling sahur in Langkat. This study examines how the sahur wake-up tradition has changed in form, function, and meaning under conditions of modernization. It uses a qualitative literature-based method in which data drawn from journal articles, academic books, and other relevant publications were analyzed through an interpretive cultural approach to trace the relationship between religious practice, local culture, and social change. The findings show that the tradition originally served as a communal means of signaling the time of sahur using kentongan, bedug, rebana, and other traditional instruments. As this practical function has been displaced by modern technology, the tradition has not disappeared but has been reconstituted as a more symbolic cultural practice, expressed through sahur festivals, Ramadan cultural processions, community art performances, and digital documentation on social media. This transformation indicates that the tradition now functions less as a practical reminder than as a vehicle for cultural identity and social solidarity among Muslim communities. The article contributes to the study of intangible cultural heritage by showing that the sahur wake-up tradition is not merely preserved but actively reconstructed through a heritage-making process, in which community participation, youth transmission, Ramadan soundscapes, festivalization, spatial negotiation, and digital documentation jointly convert a practical religious custom into a dynamic form of Ramadan cultural heritage. The study concludes that this tradition constitutes a form of intangible cultural heritage capable of adapting to social and technological change without losing the values of togetherness, religiosity, and cultural identity that sustain it.

Abstract

This study aims to reconstruct radhaʿah as a maqāṣid-based framework of lactation justice for Muslim working mothers without altering its settled doctrinal consequences. It combines normative Islamic legal analysis of Qurʾanic verses, hadith, classical fiqh, and maqāṣid scholarship with an integrative review of workplace lactation and care literature. Four targeted Scopus searches yielded 1,051 unique records after deduplication. Appraisal retained 54 journal articles; seven additional works identified through backward citation tracing and purposive supplementation brought the contemporary corpus to 61 articles. The analysis shows that radhaʿah scholarship treats the establishment and documentation of milk kinship in considerable detail, whereas workplace studies identify recurrent vulnerabilities involving time, privacy, workload, usable facilities, organizational culture, and employment protection. Islamic family law also recognizes a distributive logic through paternal maintenance, prevention of harm, mutual consultation, and ujrah al-radhāʿah, but these obligations are rarely connected to the responsibilities of workplaces and public institutions. The study concludes that the protective reasoning of radhaʿah can extend to the conditions of lactation without altering the established rules of milk kinship. Its contribution is a maqāṣid-based framework of lactation justice that joins milk-kinship certainty with child and maternal protection, bodily dignity, economic security, and differentiated institutional responsibility. This framework clarifies that lactation justice is not a departure from classical doctrine, but a contextual extension of its protective objectives, requiring coordinated support from families, employers, and public institutions while preserving doctrinal certainty concerning milk kinship and its legal effects clearly.
