Abstract

This study examines the process of social integration and the maintenance of religious identity of the Balinese Hindu community in Pematang Tahalo Village, Hamlet IV, Gunung Kerung, Jabung District, East Lampung Regency. Within a predominantly Muslim community, the Balinese Hindu community demonstrates the ability to adapt and build harmonious social relations without obscuring its religious identity. This study aims to understand the social, cultural, and religious mechanisms that shape interfaith relations in a multicultural environment. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach using in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. Key informants included traditional leaders, religious leaders, community administrators, and Balinese Hindu youth. Data analysis was conducted inductively, referring to the theories of religion as a cultural system (Geertz), social solidarity (Durkheim), and the social construction of religion (Asad). The results indicate that social integration is built through interfaith cooperation, mutual cooperation, and mutual respect. Religious traditions such as mass cremation (ngaben), temple odalan (puppet ceremony), and melasti (pilgrimage ceremony) reinforce collective identity, strengthen social solidarity, and promote local pluralism.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between Islamic teachings and the local wisdom of the Lampung community, focusing on the transformation of religious values within socio-cultural life. Lampung has a traditional value system, including piil pesenggiri, nemui nyimah, nengah nyappur, and sakai sambayan, which shapes the social identity of its people. In the modern context, these values undergo reinterpretation alongside the development of Islamic da'wah, education, and digital media. Using a sociology of religion approach, this study examines how Islam adapts to local wisdom without compromising the substance of its teachings. The analysis is carried out using Clifford Geertz's theory of religion as a cultural system, as well as Ernest Gellner's theory of the tension between normative Islam (ulama) and local Islam (the people). The results of the study show that the integration of Islam and Lampung customs produces an inclusive and harmonious form of religiosity, as well as a model of Islam typical of the archipelago that can withstand the currents of modernization and globalization.
