Abstract

Penelitian ini membahas makna teologis dari tradisi punggahan dan pintan dalam menyambut bulan Ramadan pada masyarakat Jawa di Dusun XI Paya Lombang, Tebing Tinggi. Tradisi ini tidak hanya merupakan warisan budaya, tetapi juga menjadi sarana komunikasi spiritual antara manusia dan Tuhan, serta memperkuat nilai-nilai sosial keagamaan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode fenomenologi. Data dikumpulan melalui observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Tradisi punggahan meliputi ziarah kubur, mandi bunga, doa bersama, dan makan keluarga, sementara pintan berfokus pada doa dan penghormatan anak kepada orang tua yang telah wafat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedua tradisi tersebut memiliki makna teologis yang kuat, mencerminkan hubungan vertikal dengan Allah (hablumminallah) dan hubungan horizontal dengan sesama (hablumminannas). Nilai-nilai seperti rasa syukur, penyucian diri, ukhuwah Islamiyah, ketakwaan, dan pelestarian budaya Jawa yang Islami muncul dalam praktik ini. Tradisi ini tidak hanya memperkuat solidaritas sosial, tetapi juga menunjukkan relevansi budaya lokal dalam membentuk praktik keagamaan yang kontekstual dan bermakna dalam masyarakat modern   This study discusses the theological meaning of the punggahan and pintan traditions in welcoming the month of Ramadan in the Javanese community in Dusun XI Paya Lombang, Tebing Tinggi. This tradition is not only a cultural heritage, but also a means of spiritual communication between humans and God, as well as strengthening socio-religious values. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The tradition of punggahan includes grave pilgrimage, flower bathing, joint prayer, and family meal, while pintan focuses on prayer and children's respect for their deceased parents. The results of the study show that both traditions have strong theological meanings, reflecting a vertical relationship with Allah (hablumminallah) and a horizontal relationship with others (hablumminannas). Values ​​such as gratitude, self-purification, Islamic brotherhood, piety, and the preservation of Islamic Javanese culture emerge in these practices. This tradition not only strengthens social solidarity, but also demonstrates the relevance of local culture in shaping contextual and meaningful religious practices in modern society.

Abstract

This study entitled “Living Theology in the Punggahan Tradition among the Javanese Ethnic Community in Paya Lombang, Tebing Tinggi” aims to analyze the Punggahan tradition as both a socio-cultural-religious phenomenon and a manifestation of living theology. This research employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method through observation, interviews, and documentation involving religious leaders, community figures, and members of the Javanese ethnic group. The findings indicate that the Punggahan tradition serves not only as a ritual for welcoming Ramadan but also as a space for integrating social, cultural, and religious values in everyday life. From a socio-cultural-religious perspective, this tradition plays an important role in strengthening social solidarity, togetherness, and harmonious relationships within the community through activities such as communal prayers, grave visits, shared meals, flower bathing rituals, and mutual forgiveness. From the perspective of living theology, the Punggahan tradition demonstrates how Islamic theological values such as gratitude, monotheism (tawhid), Islamic brotherhood (ukhuwah Islamiyah), self-purification, charity, and prayer are lived and practiced in a concrete and contextual way. These values are not only understood conceptually but are embodied in daily communal practices passed down from generation to generation. Thus, it can be concluded that the Punggahan tradition represents a form of harmony between religion and culture, serving not only a social function but also standing as a real manifestation of living theology in the life of the Javanese community.
