Kearifan Lokal dalam Tradisi Ya Arhamarrohimin pada Masyarakat Melayu Desa Limau Mungkur Kecamatan Binjai Barat

Abstract

This research aims to analyze Local Wisdom in the Ya Arhamarrohiminin Tradition among the Malay Community of Limau Mungkur Village, West Binjai District, by presenting the stages involved in the preparation and implementation of the Ya Arhamarrohiminin tradition. Furthermore, it describes the values of local wisdom related to peace and prosperity found within the stages of the Ya Arhamarrohiminin tradition. This study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach. The theoretical framework utilized consists of Robert Sibarani's local wisdom theory and Danandjaja's folklore theory. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis involves gathering and analyzing information provided by informants regarding the Ya Arhamarrohiminin tradition. The research findings and discussions reveal five stages in the implementation of the Ya Arhamarrohiminin tradition: (1) Gathering at the Mosque, (2) Collection of various musical instruments, (3) Visiting households in Limau Mungkur Village, (4) Pilgrimage and (5) Distributing Eid al-Fitr bonuses. This tradition embodies local wisdom values divided into two categories: prosperity values and peace values. Prosperity values include: (1) Cultural preservation and creativity, (2) Mutual cooperation, (3) Education, (4) Discipline, and (5) Hard work. Peace values encompass: (1) Harmony and conflict resolution, (2) Gender management, (3) Gratitude, (4) Social solidarity, (5) Positive thinking, (6) Commitment, (7) Courtesy, and (8) Honesty. The research findings indicate a dominance of peace- related local wisdom values over prosperity-related values within the Ya Arhamarrohiminin tradition. This is evident in the stages of the Ya Arhamarrohiminin tradition, which lean more towards peace-related local wisdom values compared to prosperity-related ones.
