Integration of Religion and Culture in Hadrah Nurun Nabi in Aceh: Perspective of Symbolism and al-’Urf
Abstract
Hadrah Nurun Nabi is an art tradition that integrates ṣalawāt, dhikr, poetry reading, and hadrah music with the Acehnese rapai art. This study aims to analyse the integration of religion and culture within the Hadrah Nurun Nabi tradition in Aceh. The study employs a qualitative approach with field research methods. Data were collected through interview observation and documentation, and analyzed using the theory of symbolic interpretation and al-'Urf. They were validated through several readings, consultation of source texts, the presence of researchers at hadrah performances, and olleagues’ debates. The analysis included comparisons, categorizations, presentations, and inferences of textual information content. The findings indicate a significant integration between religious practice and local cultural expression in Aceh. The hadrah tradition symbolises conveying religious messages that deliver spiritual values, messages of monotheistic messages, expressions of joy at the birth of the Prophet, and praise to the Prophet. At the same time, the hadrah tradition has the concept of al-'Urf, specifically al-'urf al-shahih, namely a tradition that aligns with the interests of sharia and offers useful values and benefits to the Muslim community. Other findings also show that the use of social media is a positive response to technological developments.
