The Tahlil Tradition of the Purwojati Hamlet Community Has Stopped Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic
- ABSTRAK
Tradition is a habit that is carried out by people from generation to generation. The traditions of the Islamic community in Indonesia have various patterns. Ancient archipelago scholars taught Islam through the culture and traditions of the Indonesian people. By not eliminating tradition, the ulama combined Islamic teachings with the local wisdom of the Indonesian people.
One of the Muslim traditions that still exist in the Purwojati Hamlet, Hamlet Dempok Village, Wuluhan District, Jember Regency is Tahlil. Tahlil is a community religious activity that is carried out from generation to generation. With tahlil we can also send prayers to ancestors and relatives who have died.
The outbreak of the Covid-19 virus has hampered the implementation of community traditions, one of which is Tahlil. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is not only felt by the people of the city, we who are in the village also feel it. Tahlil, which is usually held every Friday night, had to be temporarily suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Instead, local community leaders recommend tahlil and send prayers on a small scale, for example, only done at their respective homes with family members at home.
