Kerukunan Antarumat Beragama dalam Tradisi Jawa
Keywords:
interreligious harmony, social solidarity, Javanese cultural traditionsAbstract
This study aims to identify the forms and practices of interreligious harmony in RT 09, Kedamean Village, Gresik Regency, an area whose residents come from diverse religious backgrounds. The study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis involved the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The theoretical framework used is the theory of social solidarity proposed by Emile Durkheim, which emphasizes the importance of solidarity in plural societies to create harmonious and peaceful social life. The results show that interreligious harmony in RT 09, Kedamean Village, Gresik Regency is realized through the continued practice of Javanese cultural traditions that are sustained by the community. These cultural traditions involve all residents regardless of religious differences, thereby serving as a means to strengthen social solidarity and a sense of togetherness. In conclusion, Javanese cultural traditions play a strategic role in maintaining and reinforcing interreligious harmony, as the values of togetherness and solidarity embedded within them function as social cohesion in a diverse society.
