Abstract

The Mangupa tradition is a preserved cultural heritage of the Mandailing community, particularly in Hutabargot District, Mandailing Natal Regency. This tradition serves as a form of prayer, blessing, and request for divine grace for individuals entering or experiencing important phases of life such as marriage, birth, circumcision, or migration. This study discusses the implementation of the Mangupa tradition, the values of prayer and blessing contained within it, and its harmony with the Prophetic traditions (hadith) of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The practice of Mangupa reflects a harmonious integration between customary values and Islamic teachings, in which Islamic prayers are recited alongside Mandailing traditional expressions rich in moral and spiritual meaning. Each symbol used—such as white rice, a rooster, and eggs—bears deep philosophical significance representing sincerity, responsibility, and family unity. The people of Hutabargot understand barakah (blessing) not only as material prosperity but also as peace, safety, and life harmony attained through prayer and social cohesion. Moreover, this tradition aligns with the teachings of the Prophet’s hadiths, which emphasize gratitude, communal prayer, and maintaining social ties. Thus, Mangupa is not merely a cultural ritual but also a form of living hadith—a living embodiment of Islamic values expressed through social and cultural practices. Through Mangupa, it becomes evident that Islam and local culture coexist harmoniously, reflecting the religious, social, and cultural character of the Mandailing community.

Abstract

This study examines ikhtiar (human effort) and tawakkul (reliance on Allah) in the Qur’an through Nawawi al-Bantani’s Marah Labid. It addresses the persistent tendency to separate active effort from spiritual surrender, which may produce either excessive self-reliance or passive fatalism. The study employed qualitative library research using thematic exegesis supported by tahlili analysis of Surah al-Ra‘d [13]: 11, Surah Ali ‘Imran [3]: 159, and Surah al-Talaq [65]: 3. Marah Labid served as the primary source, while classical and contemporary exegetical, theological, and relevant scholarly works provided secondary data. The data were analyzed descriptively and interpretively by identifying key meanings, comparing related interpretations, and synthesizing their theological implications. The findings demonstrate that Nawawi al-Bantani presents ikhtiar and tawakkul as complementary principles. Ikhtiar requires moral reform, careful planning, consultation, and the use of lawful means, whereas tawakkul directs the heart to rely fully on Allah after earnest effort. Human action therefore operates within the law of causality, while its final outcome remains subject to divine will and measure. This integration rejects both anthropocentric self-sufficiency and religious fatalism and provides an ethical foundation for responsibility, optimism, patience, spiritual resilience, and a balanced Muslim work ethic in contemporary life.
