Abstract

This study aims to describe the meaning of da'wah values in the symbolism of the Nyadran tradition in Pekuncen Village, Kroya District, Cilacap Regency. One of the approaches used in preaching is a cultural approach. Through the Nyadran tradition which is carried out in Pekuncen village, da'wah can be carried out in the midst of a society that has a syncretistic culture. In the Nyadran tradition, there are da'wah values that are depicted in symbols that have meaning as teachings of virtue that must be imitated. the symbols in the Nyadran tradition need to be interpreted so that da'wah values can be understood and internalized in society. This case study used interdisciplinary approach that is a combination of religious and cultural approaches. The religious approach concerns on da'wah values originating from the Qur'an and Sunnah, while the cultural approach focuses an abstract value system in which there is symbolism as a cultural expression that is understood by humans. The research subjects consisted of traditional leaders, community leaders, and residents or followers of the Nyadran tradition. This research used snowball techniques for interviews, participant observation and documentation. The data collected was analyzed through descriptive qualitative analysis consisting of data reduction, data display and conclusion or verification. The findings show that in the Nyadran Tradition, there is symbolism that describes the values of da'wah which has several meanings such as provoking people to be calm in thinking, to be respect for those who have died, to be grateful for God's favors, to be surrender to God (tawakkal/trusting in God’s plan), to continue to strive and pray, to hope in God, to have purity of heart and courage of determination, to think optimistically, to ask forgiveness from God and to have solidarity with others.
