Budaya dan Agama sebagai Identitas Islam Nusantara; Kajian atas Tradisi Marhaba’an/Maulid nabi di Tanah Sunda
Summary
Islam sebagai agama dakwah tidak hadir dalam ruang yang hampa, ia bersentuhan dengan faktorfaktor lain seperti budaya yang begitu melekat di tengah-tengah masyarakat. Nilai-nilai Islam tidak hanya milik otoritas institusi-institusi lembaga-lembaga secara formal, tetapi juga melebar dan mengjewantah bahkan menjadi ruh dalam tradisi budaya masyarakat (Negara, 2017). Marhabaan atau pembacaan kitab al Barzanji secara bersama-sama merupakan tradisi yang sangat popular di masyarakat Jawa Barat khususnya di Kota Bandung. Masyarakat NU sangat merawat budaya marhabaan tersebut di samping itu budaya seperti ini sudah mendarah daging dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dan di tengah kehidupan sosialnya (Wawancara dengan HT, pimpinan pesantren, Bandung, 03/05/2020). Acara marhabaan telah menjadi salah satu perekat dan mobilisasi sosial masyarakat karena dilakukan secara rutin dan dilakukan secara berjama’ah, baik di masjid, mushalla maupun di rumah-rumah yang mendapatkan giliran untuk acara tersebut (Abdul Fatah, 2008).
