<![CDATA[Research on kidung generally discusses religious content and moral values, but not many explain how these values are formed through the relationship between textual elements. This study aims to describe the textual structure of Kidung Dina Pepitu, identify possible Islamic values represented in it, and interpret its relevance to the life of modern society. This study uses a descriptive qualitative design by combining philological work and Gadamer's hermeneutics. The data source is a single manuscript of Kidungan coded 101a NBR 29q from the collection of the National Library of the Republic of Indonesia. Data were prepared through manuscript identification, reading Javanese script, transliteration, translation, and heuristic and hermeneutical reading. Data validity was carried out through rereading, consultation with philologists, and examination of the relationship of each interpretation with textual evidence. The results of the study indicate a recurring pattern connecting seven days, the figure of the prophet, the practice of self-control, and natural symbols such as the sun, stars, moon, earth, fire, water, and wind. These values are not understood as traits directly expressed by each verse, but as possible meanings that emerge through the relationship between practice, the figure of the prophet, and natural symbols. The relevance of Kidung Dina Pepitu for modern society lies at the conceptual and interpretive levels, namely as a space for reflection on consumerism, individualism, social pressures, changing times, and the uncertainties of life.]]>
