Abstract

So far, there have been many studies on the dynamics and development of the religious studies in Indonesia. In general, the study covers at least two major themes, namely historical development studies and methodological studies. Generally, the existing studies are dominantly based on the development and reflection of the Religious Studies in Yogyakarta, Jakarta and Bandung. However, it is not common to discuss religious studies in other areas such as West Sumatra and Aceh, which are sharia regions in Indonesia. This paper aims to find out how the existence of the Department of Religious Studies at UIN Imam Bonjol Padang and UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh. Using a case study qualitative research method, this article shows that the Department of Religious Studies, both UIN Imam Bonjol Padang and UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh, still exist in their respective regions. Although the two Department are still not well known by the public, the contribution of the two Department to religious life has provided a place to balance the religious life of the people of West Sumatra and Aceh. The real contributions that have been made to the Department of Religious Studies at UIN Imam Bonjol Padang and UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh in West Sumatra and Aceh are, first, increasing religious inclusiveness; second, the driving force of religious moderation; third, activists of the discourse of tolerance; fourth, increasing inter-religious dialogue.

Abstract

Traditions play a significant role in preserving the identity and values of a society. One such tradition that has been passed down through generations is the Mandi Ka Luak tradition in Nagari Sungai Antuan. This research aims to trace the symbolic meanings embedded in the Mandi Ka Luak tradition and understand the functions associated with it. A qualitative research method was employed with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with traditional leaders, religious figures, and community leaders, as well as document analysis. The findings reveal that the Mandi Ka Luak tradition holds symbolic meanings within elements such as the seven-colored thread bracelet, baby’s hair-cutting ceremony, symbolic feeding, the use of coconut shells, and communal feasting. Furthermore, the tradition continues to be practiced because it plays a crucial role in fulfilling various basic needs of the community. It meets the needs for security and growth by eliminating taboos and superstitions, providing recreation, and strengthening social bonds through family and community ties. Additionally, Mandi Ka Luak contributes to the preservation of cultural identity as part of the ancestral heritage carefully upheld by the community. This research provides a deeper understanding of the continuity of the Mandi Ka Luak tradition within the context of Nagari Sungai Antuan and raises questions about the role of culture in an ever-changing modern society.
