MELACAK PERAN ELIT NU DALAM PERTEMUAN ISLAM DAN TRADISI LOKAL DI PAMEKASAN
Abstraction: Islam attends not
in the centre of culture vacuous society, but attends to
find local traditions
which expands and
goes in the
middle of plural society. that
Local traditions remain to be defended, come up with next process coloured by
Islami values. Among local traditions which still expand in society is “pelet
kandung and sarwah”, representing circular ceremony of life and death. This research
leaves from two elementary problems that is; society perception about local
tradition and role
of NU elite
in Islam meeting
with local tradition. NU Elite
meant in this article is figure – Kiai and Nyai Langgar or Kiai and Nyai Pesantren-
owning influence at society, they are merged into NU, either through cultural
or structural. Research result indicate that the society comprehends
local tradition as a syariat
which must be
done, in consequence represents
bengatoh lalampan ( ancestors sunnah), even if they do not comprehend the
synbolic meaning of the tradition. Whereas NU elites (Kiai and Nyai) play its
role by the
way: first, giving the
understanding about tradition meaning to society. second, giving set an
example in executing tradition.
Third, Preserving the
tradition which is
still thought well
by straightening and changing the tradition assumed digress from Islamic
dogma. Method is performed
within that tradition change
is al
muhafadah ala al qodim al shaleh wa al ahdu bi al jadid al ashlah.
