<![CDATA[Background: Ratibul Haddad is a form of dhikr practice that has become widespread in Islamic boarding schools and Muslim communities in Indonesia. In Canga'an Hamlet, Genteng Wetan Village, Genteng District, Banyuwangi Regency, this practice has evolved from a religious activity confined to the pesantren to become a routine community tradition passed down through generations. Aims: This study aims to describe the historical development of the culture of reciting Dzikir Ratibul Haddad in Canga'an Hamlet in 1975–2019, identify the factors that influence its sustainability, and analyze its impact on the socio-religious life of the community. Methods: The research employed a qualitative approach using historical research and field research methods. Primary sources were obtained through interviews with religious leaders, community leaders, and residents of Canga'an Hamlet, while secondary sources came from books, journals, articles, and relevant documents. Analysis was conducted through the stages of source collection, source criticism or verification, interpretation, and historiography. Result: The research results show that Ratibul Haddad was initiated by Mbah Abbas around 1950, then continued by Kyai Ahmad Affandi. After 1973, the activity began to be introduced more widely and around 1975 developed into a community activity and formed jamiyah groups. Its sustainability is supported by the charisma of religious leaders, community acceptance, religious beliefs, and the enthusiasm of the congregation. Conversely, the decline of the next generation, low involvement of some young people, poor communication, and the changing times are inhibiting factors. The community also interprets this activity as a means to increase religiosity and religious knowledge. Conclusion: The culture of reciting Dhikr Ratibul Haddad in Canga'an Hamlet has transformed from a pesantren practice into a socio-religious tradition that has endured for decades. Its sustainability is heavily influenced by the role of religious leaders and the strength of the community's collective values, but it faces challenges of regeneration and social change that could impact the tradition's continuity in the future.]]>
