Abstract

The Tolak Balak ritual is an important tradition performed by the Sabu tribe in East Nusa Tenggara to ask for protection and safety from evil spirits. This ritual has been going on for a long time and is an important part of the Jingitiu religious beliefs. However, the impact of modernization has caused some major difficulties. This article looks at how the Tolak Balak ritual is adapting to the rapidly evolving social, cultural, and technological changes in Sabu society. Although modernization and technological advances make it easy, they also affect the way this tradition is performed and how the younger generation perceives it. This study shows that Savunese people can maintain the essence and meaning of the Tolak Balak ritual by changing and updating its implementation even though the changing times are destroying it. In addition, the article links this tradition to broader conversations about the preservation of local cultural heritage amidst modernization and globalization. This article provides insight into the importance of the Tolak Balak tradition for the people of Savu and shows how local traditions can survive and thrive in the face of today's challenges.

Abstract

While wars generally have negative implications and bring chaos, Topat War in Lingsar Village, West Lombok Regency, is an exception. Despite being called a war, this annual tradition is carried out joyfully and without the intention of hurting each other. Instead of using weapons or battling against each other, the Balinese-Hindus and the Sasak-Muslims throw food, called ketupat, at each other. This uniqueness creates curiosity about how two-different religions celebrate the same tradition with mutual understanding. Therefore, this research will look at the prerequisites for successful interfaith engagement reflected in Perang Topat. This research was conducted qualitatively with meta-analysis approach to find a variety of scientific documents as primary data. The results showed that the series of religious rituals were carried out together while faithfully upholding their respective beliefs. It refers to the internum and externum aspects that live in this society, which are the essence of religious moderation. Furthermore, the win-win solution for both religions, the "mutual" process, the accommodation process of understanding and agreement in the annual rituals are designed to maintain the memory of the importance of living in harmony with people of different religions and traditions. The decision-making and ways of preserving the sustainability show a commitment to nationality, tolerance, non-violence, accommodation to local culture, and respect for minorities without exclusivity which are indicators of moderation. Thus, moderate religious attitudes are needed as a negotiation strategy to create an effective and harmonious atmosphere between religious communities.
