Abstract

This article explores socio-religious conflict resolution in Lombok through the lens of peace communication as a learning process embedded in power relations and cultural practices. While the state formally addressed conflict through mediation and interfaith dialogue under the discourse of harmony, mechanisms for preventive protection and trauma-sensitive recovery for minority groups remained insufficient. Consequently, conflict resolution practices tended to privilege social order and majoritarian norms over the substantive realization of freedom of religion or belief. Employing a qualitative case study approach, this research draws on in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving religious leaders, community actors, and conflict-affected minorities. The findings reveal that state-led dialogue largely reproduces a depoliticized notion of peace, where harmony is defined as the absence of visible tension rather than as a process of justice, recognition, and equality. In contrast, the Mareje community developed a grassroots model of peace communication grounded in local wisdom, particularly gawe rapah, which operates as a counter-hegemonic learning space. Through collective rituals, shared memory, and everyday interaction, this model enables the reconstruction of trust, the negotiation of difference, and the intergenerational transmission of coexistence values. This study argues that socio-religious conflict resolution in Lombok should be understood as a form of critical peace education, where learning functions not only to restore social relations but also to challenge dominant frameworks of harmony. By situating peace communication within local cultural praxis, this research contributes to critical peace studies and debates on inclusive and transformative conflict resolution.

Abstract

Tomb pilgrimage is one of the religious traditions of Indonesian (especially in Lombok). It is strongly lives in society with various unique local wisdom rituals. Even though the tradition of grave pilgrimages has a long history as an Islamic identity, controversy over the prohibition of grave pilgrimages still occurs. Like the controversial statement by Salafi-Wahabi leader Mizan Qudsiyah in a hate-speech case which were broadcast on a YouTube channel entitled religious tourism to cemeteries. One indicator of religious moderation which is a pillar of nationality and diversity in Indonesia is acceptance of tradition. This research aims to find and analyze the motives of the pilgrims and the meaning of the messages from each ritual procession for the pilgrimage to the Keleang Tomb. The Keleang Tomb Pilgrimage is unique because it accommodates religious and cultural elements. At the same time, there are sacred values that must be understood and implemented in accordance with the advice of religious and traditional leaders. This research also examines the values of religious moderation in the Keleang Tomb pilgrimage tradition. Local traditions have the power to build togetherness, unite communities and avoid poverty. This research method is qualitative with an interpretive phenomenological approach which emphasizes the experiences of pilgrims. This study uses a communication perspective because every traditional and religious ritual involves two communication models, namely intrapersonal and interpersonal. In communication theory, the expectacy value emphasizes that there are hopes and values or beliefs that influence people's behavior in continuing to make pilgrimages to the Kaleang Tomb. Pilgrimage to the Keleang Tomb is not only to ask (pray) to Allah, but also as a form of gratitude (salametan) for the good things obtained. While the cemetery acts as an intermediary (wasilah).
