Abstract

This article discusses a phenomenological study of Tablighi Jama’at ahbab, focusing on the motives of Tablighi Jama’at ahbab. The purpose of this study is to explore the subjective experiences and unconscious motives of ahbab participating in the Tablighi Jama’at da'wah movement. This study uses a qualitative approach with an exploratory descriptive research type that aims to describe and explore the phenomenon in depth. The data collection techniques in this study used participant observation to directly observe experiences in the field and in-depth interviews to understand the perspectives of the ahbab. In determining the research informants, the author used purposive sampling techniques, and the data obtained was analysed using Miles and Huberman's data analysis. The results of the study show that the reasons for ahbab joining Tablighi Jama’at are: wanting to experience the atmosphere of their previous environment, practising what they have learned, because Tablighi Jama’at does not question specific schools of thought and sects, the approach of Tablighi Jama’at as a means of learning Islam, finding something different in Tablighi Jama’at, protection within Tablighi Jama’at, and because Tablighi Jama’at does not differentiate between ahbab and the redemption of sins. These findings provide an understanding of various factors that motivate people to join a religious movement.

Abstract

The traditional ceremony of mengerumbang is one of the important traditional rites in Pakpak society, carried out by elderly individuals as a form of repayment of traditional debts to hula-hula before death. This study aims to examine the symbolic meaning, social structure, and socio-cultural function of the mengerumbang ceremony in the context of contemporary Pakpak society and to observe the role of this tradition. The research method uses a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with traditional leaders and ritual practitioners, and documentary studies of local customs and practices. The results of the study show that mengerumbang is not merely a customary ritual, but a social mechanism to maintain the honour of individuals and families, strengthen the continuity of the sulang silima kinship system, support economic redistribution through customary gifts, and legitimise a person's social status within the Pakpak customary structure. Furthermore, changes in ritual practices due to the influence of religion and modernisation indicate a dynamic process of cultural adaptation without eliminating the core meaning of the custom. Thus, mengerumbang functions as a space for negotiation between tradition, identity, and social change in Pakpak society.
