Abstract

This study examines the influence of Sasak culture on the process of cultural diffusion within the Balinese community on Lombok Island. The research aims to analyze how cultural exchanges occur and identify the dominant cultural force shaping these interactions. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with cultural figures and observations in several multicultural villages. The findings reveal that cultural diffusion between the Sasak and Balinese groups occurs through both cultural and political interactions, particularly in areas such as agricultural practices, clothing traditions, and religious rituals. Although Balinese culture has a strong presence, Sasak culture emerges as more dominant by selectively adopting, modifying, or resisting external cultural elements. This dominance is not merely a reflection of numerical majority but also the result of symbolic power, historical positioning, and the ability of Sasak communities to negotiate cultural identity. The study highlights how the Sasak culture does not passively absorb influences but instead engages in a dynamic process of selection and reinterpretation. Consequently, cultural diffusion on Lombok represents not only exchange but also symbolic domination, resistance, and the reconstruction of identity. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of cultural resilience and the dynamics of interethnic relations in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article analyzes Lekoq Buaq marriage as a distinctive tradition of the Sasak Bayan community in Andalan Village, North Lombok, situating it as a customary practice that persists within the socio-religious dynamics of local society. The study investigates the stages of implementation and the symbolic meanings embedded in the customary procession. Employing a qualitative, phenomenological approach, the research utilizes observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving customary actors, religious figures, and local community members. The findings demonstrate that the Lekoq Buaq procession comprises several stages: merariq or mulang, selebaran, the role of the tukang pengeraos, sajikrama, nobat, and the formalization of the customary-religious marriage contract. Each stage serves not only as a marital procedure but also as a social mechanism for maintaining order, family honor, and communal recognition. The symbols of four coconuts, kepeng bolong, a rattan whip, pirangan, kereng putih, and cereng represent family unification, responsibility, social sanction, purity, and customary legitimization. The results indicate that Lekoq Buaq functions as a socio-religious praxis, operating as habitus, customary field, and symbolic capital within the Bayan community. Consequently, this tradition embodies Sasak Bayan cultural identity and serves as a medium for transmitting values, strengthening social solidarity, and harmonizing custom and religion amid social change, modernization, and evolving relationships among younger generations.

Abstract

This study examines cultural tolerance and interfaith dynamics between Muslim and Hindu communities in Karang Tapen, Cakranegara, as a localised reflection of broader inter-religious relations on Lombok Island. The research focuses on how tolerance is formed, negotiated, and sustained in the context of everyday social interactions. Using a literature-based approach supported by contextual and socio-historical analysis, the study examines potential sources of tension, including differing agendas, needs, knowledge systems, and socio-religious motivations, between the predominantly Muslim Sasak and predominantly Hindu Balinese communities. The findings reveal that interfaith relations in Karang Tapen are fluid and cyclical, characterised by periods of cooperation, adaptation, and reconciliation, as well as moments of misunderstanding and latent tension. Historical legacies shape these dynamics, shared economic activities, political considerations, and deeply rooted cultural traditions that both bridge and divide the groups. Importantly, cultural tolerance here is not simply the absence of conflict but an active and ongoing process of negotiation that requires mutual respect, shared cultural spaces, and inclusive dialogue. By highlighting these patterns, this study offers insights into sustaining harmony and fostering resilience in multi-religious and multi-ethnic settings.

Abstract

This study explores the dual role of the honorific title “Haji” in the Sasak community of Kayangan, North Lombok, as both a marker of spiritual identity and an indicator of social stratification. While the Hajj pilgrimage is a fundamental obligation in Islam, the title “Haji” has evolved beyond its religious origins to symbolize prestige, authority, and social capital, often accessible mainly to individuals with substantial economic resources. Historically, the practice of Hajj labelling emerged in 17th-century Banten, was reinforced during the Dutch colonial period, and subsequently spread across Southeast Asia. Within the Sasak socio-cultural framework, the title functions not only as recognition of religious devotion but also as a strategic tool for shaping personal and collective identity, reinforcing hierarchical structures, and legitimizing political authority. For some community members, the decision to perform the pilgrimage is influenced not solely by spiritual aspirations but also by the pursuit of higher social standing and influence. This dual role generates a tension between maintaining the spiritual purity of the pilgrimage and accommodating its transformation into a socio-political instrument. The findings underscore the importance of critical reflection on how religious symbols are negotiated in everyday life when intertwined with economic capacity, prestige, and power relations in contemporary Muslim societies.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how the morals of Muslim kinship function as social capital in the community of Malaka Village, Pemenang District, North Lombok Regency. It also seeks to explore the factors that encourage the community to transmit these values to the younger generation. Using a qualitative approach, the research applies interviews and documentation as data collection techniques, supported by both primary and secondary sources. Findings indicate that Islamic kinship morals, such as mutual respect, compassion, solidarity, cooperation, and justice, are not only religious teachings but also serve as practical social capital in everyday life. These values play a pivotal role in shaping community harmony, fostering mutual trust, and reducing the potential for social conflict. Parents in Malaka Village deliberately educate their children about kinship ethics rooted in Islamic principles to strengthen intergenerational bonds and preserve communal identity. Furthermore, kinship morality promotes collective responsibility, facilitates cooperation in addressing community problems, and enhances welfare through mutual support. The study concludes that Islamic kinship morality serves as a sustainable social resource, reinforcing both spiritual life and social order, and providing a strong foundation for building a moral, fair, and harmonious society in Malaka Village.

Abstract

Within the Sasak community of Sepapan Village, Jerowaru, East Lombok, the hajj title signifies more than the fulfillment of a religious duty. It serves as a symbol of prestige, honor, and social stratification in the local cultural context. This study examines the influence of the hajj title on social hierarchy and self-perception among titleholders. The research utilizes a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting data through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation with both hajj and non-hajj participants. Data analysis involved reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, with triangulation applied to ensure validity and reliability. The results indicate that the hajj title substantially enhances social legitimacy and recognition in the community. Titleholders receive greater respect, increased authority in decision-making, and higher status in social and religious activities. Post-hajj self-perception demonstrates two main patterns: some individuals show increased motivation for broader social engagement, while others experience a sense of heightened moral and ethical responsibility. These findings indicate that the hajj title strengthens personal religious identity and acts as a significant cultural mechanism for structuring social relationships. Additionally, it reinforces communal cohesion and collective values in the Sasak community, highlighting the importance of this cultural practice.

Abstract

The Besangi ritual at the tomb of Maulana Syeh Gauz Abdurrozak in Loang Baloq, Mataram City, represents a cultural and spiritual practice that integrates religious devotion, social ties, and symbolic heritage. In this tradition, pilgrims tie ropes to banyan trees surrounding the grave as symbolic acts of vows, supplications, or expressions of gratitude to God. This study explores the symbolic meaning, social function, and psychological role of the Besangi ritual for its practitioners. Employing a qualitative ethnographic approach, data were gathered through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that tying ropes symbolizes individual spiritual commitment and aspirations oriented toward the divine. The banyan tree is perceived as a sacred medium carrying deep cosmological significance within local belief systems. Socially, the ritual fosters communal solidarity and strengthens relationships among pilgrims, while psychologically, it provides coping mechanisms that instill tranquility, optimism, and resilience in the face of life’s uncertainties. These aspects highlight Besangi not only as cultural heritage but also as a living medium for religious expression that continues to adapt to changing contexts. The study further suggests the importance of examining how modernization and the development of religious tourism in Lombok influence the transformation and continuity of this ritual tradition.

Abstract

Montong Gamang Village in Kopang District, Central Lombok Regency, continues to uphold the Pegat Kepeng custom as a significant element of the Sasak marriage tradition. Within Sasak society, Pegat Kepeng is regarded not only as a ceremonial practice but also as a customary ritual marking a woman's transition from her family of origin to her husband's family. This tradition signifies the transfer of economic, social, and customary responsibilities following marriage and reinforces kinship structures and social order within the community. The practice embodies values such as respect, responsibility, deliberation, family solidarity, and collective agreement between both families. Despite the influence of modernization on various aspects of Sasak social life, the persistence of Pegat Kepeng indicates that local cultural values remain significant and are actively preserved by the community. Preserving the social values inherent in the Pegat Kepeng tradition is therefore crucial for reinforcing Sasak cultural identity, maintaining social harmony, and ensuring the continuity of local wisdom amid ongoing social and cultural transformation.

Abstract

Culture constitutes a fundamental aspect of human life, evolving over centuries and distinguishing each ethnic group through unique cultural, religious, and social characteristics. In Central Lombok, particularly in Pejanggik Village, traditions grounded in ancestral wisdom have shaped the development of the Perang Timbung tradition. This study investigates the historical significance of the Perang Timbung tradition as a cultural practice in Pejanggik Village. The primary objective is to analyze the symbolic meanings embedded within the Perang Timbung tradition among the Sasak community and to examine the expression of solidarity within this practice. Employing a qualitative case study methodology, the research utilizes key, primary, and supporting data sources. Data collection methods include observation, interviews, and documentation, with analysis conducted through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. Fieldwork findings reveal that the ritual stages of Perang Timbung comprise three phases: (1) preparation, involving deliberation and equipment preparation; (2) implementation, which includes the sacred water ritual, recitation of "berjanzi" (traditional prayer), chanting, and collective prayer and zikr (remembrance of God); and (3) closure, consisting of face washing (seraup), application of a forehead mark (sesembek), and the symbolic act of throwing Timbung. These rituals possess profound symbolic significance, as detailed in the study, and underscore the solidarity values inherent in the Perang Timbung tradition.
