Abstract

As the political year approaches, Indonesia is faced with societal polarization. This phenomenon gives rise to conflict and division between religious communities as conflicts of interest between each group increasingly emerge. This research aims at the Sambatan Tradition as a portrait of religious moderation as a counter narrative to societal polarization in order to create a year of religious harmony. The method used is qualitative research with a descriptive-analytic approach through Robert N. Entman's framing analysis. The results of this research show that the polarization of society ahead of the year of democracy can be broken down by the Sambatan Tradition. The local wisdom values ​​in the Sambat Tradition are relevant to the construction of Al-Qur'an verses which discuss the idea of ​​moderation in upholding peace, tolerance, harmony and mutual cooperation. It is hoped that this research will produce a number of recommendations for the government, society, academics, and the media to explain the polarization of society ahead of the political year according to their respective capacities. The significance of this research is that it offers regulatory ideas that can be implemented by the government as well as being argumentative and constructive for academics.

Abstract

Efforts to strengthen religious moderation are faced with great challenges along with the strengthening of ideologies that preach intolerance, radicalism, and terrorism. These ideas indirectly erode the principle of moderation, causing a myriad of problems in society. Not to mention, the existence of identity politics further exacerbates divisions and differences in society, which in turn triggers attitudes of intolerance and radicalism, as happened in the Batu Satangtung case in Cigugur sub-district, Kuningan district. These problems imply a contradiction with the values of the Quran that always uphold tolerance and harmony between religious communities. This paper offers a Quranic solution through the actualization of the concept of mawaddah by strengthening social cohesion. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study research type. Quranic verses are discussed thematically using descriptive-analytic techniques. This study found that the concept of mawaddah can be actualized by strengthening social cohesion so that, in turn, religious moderation will be realized. The form of social cohesion based on Al-Quran values can be manifested in various activities, such as: 1) economic activities; 2) arts and cultural activities; 3) agricultural activities.
