Proses review jurnal ini menggunakan <em>Double Blind Peer Review</em>. Artinya, artikel atau naskah akan ditelaah oleh teman sejawat, yang mana identitas reviewer dan penulis disembunyikan, sehingga reviewer tidak mengetahui artikel siapa yang sedang ditelaah dan penulis juga tidak mengetahui siapa yang menelaah artikelnya.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Penyebutan atau penamaan JIREH didalilkan dari akronim Jurnal Ilmiah <em>Religiosity-Entity-Humanity</em> dalam kebermaknaan bebas yaitu tulisan ilmiah yang memuat keberagamaan-kewujudan-kemanusiaan. Frasa JIREH sendiri memiliki arti yang sangat sakral dalam konteks bahasa dan budaya Ibrani (lihat kajian keyahudian). Jireh dalam kamus bahasa Ibrani didahului oleh frase Jehova. Maka kata Jehova Jireh dalam bahasa Ibrani diartikan sebagai <strong><em>God sees </em></strong>atau <strong>Allah yang melihat</strong>. Bahkan dalam naskah Ibrani terbaca: di atas gunung TUHAN Ia memperlihatkan diri atau Allah yang menampakkan diri. Dengan asumsi tersebut, maka tulisan dalam jurnal ini dapat melihat maha karya Allah terlukis pada rangkaian kata dan kalimat inspiratif dengan disiplin ilmu yang ketat.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Disiplin ilmu terpilih tersebut diyakini akan berkontribusi dalam kosmos praksis yang relevan dan elegan pada basis kemandirian. <em>Religiosity</em> (keberagamaan) adalah bentuk internalisasi nilai agama dan keterikatan manusia terhadap Tuhan yang mengandung norma-norma untuk mengatur perilaku manusia tersebut dalam hubungan dengan Tuhan, manusia lain, maupun lingkungannya.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Entity</em> (kewujudan) adalah sebuah “benda” (thing) atau “objek” (object) di dunia nyata yang dapat dibedakan dari semua objek lainnya. Dengan kata lain, kajian ilmu yang tersaji merupakan realitas yang dilandasi oleh kesadaran yang berwujud atau lahir dari basis kepakaran penulis tentunya.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Humanity </em>(kemanusiaan) merupakan tataran keilmuan yang bersinggungan dengan filsafat pemikiran, kemelekatannya pada nilai-nilai manusia. Konsekuansi logis dari gagasan <em>humanity</em> mampu membumi memberi jawab pada problematika rumit di tengah saratnya tuntutan kehidupan. Dengan demikian, koherensi dari bidang tinjauan di atas dirangkai secara populis dan akademis yaitu konsepsi pemikiran nilai-nilai kemanusiaan yang bertalian dengan norma-norma keberagamaan pada obyek riil berpangku pada kesadaran keilmuan.</p> en-US <p>Copyright&nbsp;© 2019.

This qualitative library research gathers data from tafsir works, Arabic dictionaries, and literature related to Izutsu’s semantic theory. The findings reveal that the basic meaning of qaşd as-sabīl is “the intended purpose of a path,” which, in its semantic relations, may refer to the straight path, salvation, guidance, Islamic law, and others. Historically, the meaning evolved from a general context (pre-Qur’anic), to more theological and specific (Qur’anic), and then to interpretive and contextual meanings (post-Qur’anic). The worldview behind this term shifted from general life purposes to the mission of conveying Islamic teachings. The diversity of interpretations is due to a structured relationship between its core meaning and its relational meanings shaped by semantic networks, historical context, and worldview constructions. Therefore, Izutsu’s semantic approach proves effective in revealing the complex and profound dimensions of qaşd as-sabīl in the Qur’an. </em></p> Rasya' Alfirdaus, Moh.

Ulama provide theological foundation through QS Al-Anbiya verse 30 and Thibbun Nabawi practices, positioning prayer water as wasilah in seeking healing efforts. Medical personnel acknowledge placebo effects and psychological dimensions of prayer water through psychoneuroimmunology mechanisms. Both perspectives agree that belief and positive suggestion play important roles in healing, with prayer water functioning as complementary therapy that does not replace primary medical treatment. This integration opens opportunities for developing holistic healthcare models that accommodate spiritual values without neglecting evidence-based medicine principles.</em></p> Devia Nurulaeni, Nur Rahidah Hana Rifdah, Nurul Maolida, Silvi Karlina, Taufik Hidayat, Tedi Supriyadi, Akhmad Faozi ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/414 Sun, 06 Jul 2025 12:11:06 +0000 Social Inequality in the Perspective of Tafsir Al-Mishbah by M. Quraish Shihab: Thematic Interpretation Study of Tiktok Trends https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/437 <p><em>This study examines the phenomenon of social inequality trends on TikTok through the perspective of Tafsir al-Mishbah by M. Quraish Shihab. It explores how Shihab interprets Qur'anic verses to construct a comprehensive understanding of social justice. The findings show that the trend of social inequality on TikTok reflects real and structural disparities in Indonesian society, particularly in terms of wealth, education, and employment. These digital representations highlight a deep-rooted crisis of justice that goes beyond economics. Shihab’s interpretations emphasize Islamic values such as justice (‘adl), balance (al-mīzān), and collective responsibility as foundational principles for addressing inequality. His readings of verses like QS. Al-Hasyr: 7, QS. Az-Zumar: 9, and QS. Al-Isra’: 35 offer an ethical and spiritual framework for understanding inequality as a moral issue. Thus, the findings affirm that Tafsir al-Mishbah can serve as a theological reference for raising collective awareness and developing solutions to the normalization of injustice in the digital era. </em></p> Agus Nur Zakin, Ahmad Saerozi ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/437 Sun, 06 Jul 2025 12:18:57 +0000 Bondfree Will sebagai Tinjauan Teologis atas Relasi antara Kehendak Terikat dan Kehendak Bebas Manusia https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/334 <p><em>The concepts of free will and bound will are important theological issues that have been debated since the time of the Church Fathers through the Reformation era and remain relevant in postmodern discourse. This study aims to analyze the views of Augustine and Martin Luther on the relationship between human freedom and bondage, particularly in the context of sin, grace, and salvation. Using a qualitative method with a literature review approach, this study examines relevant primary and secondary works to compare the two perspectives. The findings reveal that Augustine acknowledges the corrupted human will yet retains the capacity to respond to grace, while Luther emphasizes the total bondage of human will to original sin, rendering humanity incapable of choosing good without divine grace. As a synthesis, the concept of BondFree Will is introduced to bridge the tension between the freedom to choose and bondage to sinful nature, emphasizing that true freedom can only be found in bondage to God's grace. </em></p> Tommy Hasoloan Simamora ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/334 Thu, 31 Jul 2025 07:19:51 +0000 Analisis Komunikasi Cuitan Paus Fransiskus pada Akun X @Pontifex dalam Perspektif Servant Leadership https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/449 <p><em>The purpose of this study is to describe the construction of tweets on the X @Pontifex account (January to April 2025), to describe Van Dijk's critical discourse analysis of Pope Francis' tweets (posts) on the X @Pontifex account. This study is a qualitative study using the critical discourse analysis method of the Teun A. Van Dijk model. The results of the study show that Pope Francis' servant leadership has the following characteristics: listening, teaching, empathy, healing, awareness, persuasion, conceptualization, futuristic, management, commitment, and building community. Macrostructure is related to the topic: gratitude, brotherhood, peace, exemplary, service, love, forgiveness, repentance, humanity, diplomacy of truth, forgiveness, freedom and justice. Superstructure is done by placing it at the beginning of the paragraph as an emphasis. Microstructure includes semantics, syntax, stylistics and rhetoric. Semantically, the meaning is conveyed explicitly or directly. Through @Pontifex, Pope Francis calls for peace and the values </em><em>​​</em><em>of life. As a spiritual leader, the Pope integrates technology in carrying out his ministry duties.

Cheng Beng is carried out through cleaning graves, burning prayer paper and offering food, while Pilgrimage to the Grave emphasizes prayer and contemplation of death without the element of material offerings. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method to explore the experiences and meanings of ritual actors from both communities. The results of the study show that although there are fundamental differences in theological aspects and forms of practice, both have similar social values, such as respect for ancestors, strengthening family ties, and cleaning graves as a form of respect. These findings show that interfaith cultural practices have the potential to strengthen the values </em><em>​​</em><em>of tolerance, social cohesion, and harmony between religious communities. Thus, understanding the meaning of religious rituals in a multicultural society such as Labuhanbatu is important to support an inclusive and harmonious social life.</em></p> Sharmila Sharmila, Dahlia Lubis ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/481 Fri, 01 Aug 2025 02:07:05 +0000 Analisis Efektivitas Pastoral Hukum Perkawinan Gereja Katolik terhadap Prosesi Nikah Adat Suku Dayak Banyadu Kalimantan Barat https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/307 <p><em>This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Catholic Church's pastoral care for marriage in traditional marriages of the Dayak Banyadu people in Banyuke Hulu, West Kalimantan.

This practice is part of the religious heritage that is still preserved and developed in the community, and is carried out by local figures such as Mr. Shobari and Mr. Ponidi. This research employs a qualitative approach. The results of the study show that people not only understand the Qur'an textually, but also operationalize it in their daily lives, especially when facing diseases and non-physical disorders. The community widely accepts this practice because it is considered effective in providing inner peace, strengthening spirituality, and fostering a sense of dependence on Allah SWT. From the perspective of sharia and faith, this method falls under the category of ruqyah syar'iyyah, which is justified as long as it does not contain elements of shirk or deviant practices. The study also confirms that Qur'anic medicine is not intended to replace medical treatment, but rather serves as a complementary therapy that strengthens the religious and social dimensions of society. These findings demonstrate how the concept of the Living Qur'an is actualized in the form of contextual, spiritual, and socially impactful treatment practices. </em></p> Fatika Anisa Aulia, Muhammad Jamil ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/489 Fri, 01 Aug 2025 06:42:01 +0000 Respon Gereja Terhadap Isu Etnisitas dan Agama dalam masyarakat Multikultural https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/380 <p><em>Rejection of leaders of different religions, ethnicities and so on is the main in the 2017 DKI Jakarta Governor Election, especially narratives of indigenous and non-indigenous sentiment. The church should take a role in responding to this problem. The research method that the author will use in this paper is the qualitative method of descriptive analysis. The author will also analyze the problem of why ethnicity is used as a political tool and will explore how the issue of ethnicity occurs in Indonesia and the functional role of the church in seeing this. This research uses theories about identity politics, religion in the public sphere by Habermas, Talcott Parsons' structural functionalism and Hendropuspito's religious functionalism. In a social society, of course religion as a social institution has a role and function in responding to situations that occur around it. The church does not mean being silent but has a prophetic voice to respond to this. This shows an important transformative role, namely instilling the value of renewing understanding in church members and the surrounding community about the importance of living together in a multiethnic society.</em></p> Devrinho Julliard, Izak Lattu, Tony Tampake ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/380 Sun, 03 Aug 2025 06:40:54 +0000 Planning of Da'wah Nahdlatul Ulama in Tackling Online Gambling Behavior in the Muslim Community of Batang Toru District, South Tapanuli Regency https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/488 <p><em>Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) is one of the Islamic organizations in Indonesia. In the current digital era, with the advancement of communication technology, especially in the field of smartphone technology, it has provided many conveniences that are useful in life, but on the other hand, it has also provided many disadvantages. The purpose of this discussion is to plan Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) da'wah efforts in addressing online gambling behavior within the Batang Toru District community. This research is included in the type of qualitative descriptive research. The results of the study show that, in the context of da'wah, the strategies developed to eradicate online gambling are varied. Therefore, serious thinking and movement are needed for da'i to anticipate the onslaught of online gambling sites and activities. Because of the complexity of the causes of the spread of online gambling, its eradication also requires a planned and organized strategy. The first step in planning da'wah is to recognize the real conditions of society. For suggestions, NU can conduct a needs assessment through a participatory approach, such as community discussions, local surveys, and in-depth interviews with community leaders. With accurate data, da'wah planning can be arranged contextually.</em></p> Muhammad Asnawi Nasution, Muhammad Habibi Siregar ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/488 Tue, 05 Aug 2025 08:51:47 +0000 Kajian Linguistik Terhadap Lafaz Khair, Thoyyib, dan Hasan dalam Al-Qur’an Perspektif Imam Al-Baidhowi Tafsir Tanwir At-Tanzil Wa Asrar Fi Ta’wil https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/491 <p><em>The Qur’an, as the word of Allah, holds a central position in Islamic teachings and functions as a timeless source of law. A crucial aspect of interpretation lies in the linguistic analysis of words that may appear similar in translation but differ in semantic meaning, such as khair, </em><em>ṭ</em><em>ayyib, and </em><em>ḥ</em><em>asan. This study aims to examine the semantic differences among these three terms based on the Tafsīr Tanwīr at-Tanzīl by Imam al-Bay</em><em>ḍ</em><em>āwī. Employing a qualitative approach with semantic analysis as its method, the study also incorporates data triangulation and methodological techniques to ensure the validity of its findings.

This approach includes an analysis of basic meaning, relational meaning, the structure of meaning in the Qur'anic value system (weltanschauung), as well as a comparison of pre-Qur'anic and Qur'anic meanings. This study uses a phenomenological method with a literature study strategy to explore the meaning of words in the text of the Qur'an while reflecting on the social experiences that develop in society. The results of the study show that the meaning of the word marriage from the pre-Qur'anic to the post-Qur'anic period remains consistent as a sacred and legal bond or agreement between two individuals. The Qur'an emphasizes that marriage aims to create a sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah domestic life. However, in the contemporary social context, this meaning is distorted due to dysfunctional experiences in the family, inequality in gender relations, and the influence of negative narratives on social media. The phenomenon of fear of marriage is not a rejection of sharia, but a response to social failure in realizing Qur'anic values in an applicative manner. </em></p> Muhammad Rizky Putra Ardiansyah, Sugeng Wanto, Agusman Damanik ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/504 Sun, 24 Aug 2025 07:03:49 +0000 Dinamika Sosial Masyarakat Multikultural dalam Relasi Agama di Desa Rama Agung, Bengkulu Utara https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/532 <p><em>This study analyzes the dynamics of a multicultural society in interfaith relations in Rama Agung Village, North Bengkulu Regency. A descriptive qualitative case study approach was employed through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving 20 informants representing Islam, Christianity, and Hinduism. The findings reveal that social interactions occur in four main domains socio-cultural, political, economic, and religious which collectively strengthen solidarity and social cohesion. Social changes are reflected in the increasing openness of attitudes, the transformation of religious leaders’ roles into interfaith mediators, the emergence of more democratic communication patterns, and the creation of new collective cultural values. Meanwhile, social adaptation is manifested through interfaith economic cooperation, participation in cultural and religious rituals, and the establishment of inclusive local political institutions. These three dynamics interaction, change, and adaptation demonstrate that multiculturalism serves not merely as a characteristic of diversity but as a foundation for social harmony and resilience at the local level.<br> </em></p> Adji Rafiyansyah, Desy Afrita, Ishak Fadlurrohim ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/532 Mon, 27 Oct 2025 03:38:51 +0000 Eksplorisasi Peningkatan Literasi Baca Tulis dan Pemahaman Fiqih Melalui Penggunaan Buku ABACAGA Cepat https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/536 <p><em>This study aims to explore the improvement of reading–writing literacy skills and understanding of fiqh through the use of the ABACAGA Fast Book as an innovative learning medium for Indonesian immigrant children in Malaysia.

Using qualitative library research methodology with textual, comparative, and conceptual approaches, the study investigates how contemporary Muslim scholars navigate between traditional tafsir methodologies and modern hermeneutical frameworks. Classical exegetical methods developed by scholars like al-Tabari, al-Zamakhshari, and al-Razi remain authoritative but were formulated in specific historical contexts. Contemporary challenges including gender equality, religious pluralism, bioethics, democratic governance, and human rights require new interpretive tools. Pioneering scholars such as Fazlur Rahman, Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd, Mohammed Arkoun, and Amina Wadud have applied hermeneutical concepts emphasizing the distinction between eternal principles and historically conditioned forms. However, traditionalist scholars criticize these approaches for potentially relativizing divine guidance. The research proposes an integrative hermeneutical framework combining classical Islamic concepts like asbab al-nuzul and maqasid al-shariah with Western hermeneutical theory, particularly attention to context and dialogical understanding. This framework requires clear methodological criteria, theological safeguards, and procedural transparency. The findings demonstrate that successful integration maintains Islamic theological integrity while incorporating valuable interpretive insights addressing contemporary Muslim realities, providing methodological guidance for scholars and religious educators.</em></p> Muhammad Rum ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/628 Mon, 22 Dec 2025 11:36:12 +0000 Analisis Pembinaan Iman Anak dan Remaja Menggunakan Model Evaluasi CIPP di Stasi Santo Hieronimus Pinem https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/428 <p><em>This study aims to map the implementation of children’s and adolescents’ faith formation at Saint Hieronimus Pinem Station using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model within a qualitative descriptive approach. In this research, the CIPP model is applied as an analytical framework rather than a quantitative measurement tool. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the real conditions influencing the faith formation program. The findings show that the program still faces several challenges, including low parental involvement, the influence of digital technology, limited human resources, and traditional teaching methods. The study recommends continuous needs assessment, structured planning, and creative pastoral methods suited to the local context. The qualitative CIPP model proves effective in systematically analyzing and improving pastoral programs according to real community needs.</em></p> Johannes Sohirimon Lumbanbatu, Rikha Emyya Gurusinga ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/428 Wed, 31 Dec 2025 04:12:46 +0000 Makna Tuturan Ritual Marapu Wano sebagai Sistem Nilai Ekologis, Religius, dan Sosial pada Masyarakat Tana Righu di Sumba Barat https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/312 <p><em>This study was motivated by an awareness of the meaning and value of local wisdom contained in the Marapu Wano ritual speech, as the true essence of culture is beginning to fade and the younger generation has little knowledge of how to preserve their cultural roots amid technological developments. The purpose of this study is to identify and describe the cultural practices and meanings of Marapu Wano ritual speech in the context of the culture that underlies it. The research method used was descriptive qualitative research. The results of the study show that the Marapu Wano ritual speech contains ecological meanings that reflect the harmonious relationship between humans and nature, religious meanings that affirm the belief system in ancestral spirits and the Creator, social meanings that strengthen solidarity and social order in the community, and meanings of supplication expressed through ritual prayers as a means of conveying hopes for safety, fertility, and prosperity in life. Thus, the Marapu Wano ritual speech can be understood as a cultural value system that plays an important role in maintaining the ecological, spiritual, and social balance of the Tana Righu community in West Sumba.</em></p> Paulus Ama Kamuri, Flavianus Mario Malo, Yohanis Rangga Mone ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/312 Wed, 31 Dec 2025 06:14:33 +0000 Teologi Kemakmuran dan Problematika Hermeneutik Alkitabiah https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/492 <p><em>This article aims to critically evaluate prosperity theology by highlighting the underlying biblical hermeneutical problems, especially in the use of key verses such as John 10:10 and Philippians 4:19. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research method, through theological, historical, and hermeneutical analysis of relevant academic literature and theological sources. The results of the study show that prosperity theology contains serious weaknesses in its eisegetical and reductive interpretation of the Bible, thereby obscuring the meaning of the Gospel, which centres on the cross, suffering, and discipleship. Interpretations that are detached from the historical and linguistic context of the biblical text not only give rise to a materialistic understanding of blessings, but also have an impact on the crisis of spirituality, pastoral violence, and the weakening of church community solidarity. This article asserts that the problem of prosperity theology is not limited to doctrinal aspects, but reflects a hermeneutical and spiritual crisis in the contemporary church.</em></p> Luciana Haryanto, Suharso Suharso ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/492 Wed, 31 Dec 2025 07:25:18 +0000 Analisis Pendidikan Katekisasi dengan Pendekatan Total Quality Management dalam Meningkatkan Kualitas Pembinaan Warga https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/540 <p><em>This study aims to analyze catechism education and examine the implementation of the principle of Total Quality Management in improving the quality of faith formation.

These results demonstrate that the safety management of pioneer vessels at Sorong Port has not yet been optimally implemented. Therefore, enhancing maritime safety requires an integrated safety management system that encompasses fleet modernization, improvement of crew competence and safety awareness, and strengthening port infrastructure and safety oversight.</em></p> Dwi Haryanto, Muji Setiyono, Arief Nashrul, Robitthotul Huda ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/554 Wed, 31 Dec 2025 14:38:12 +0000 Upaya Guru Pendidikan Agama Kristen dalam Membentuk Karakter Jujur dan Bertanggung Jawab pada Siswa https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/601 <p><em>This study aims todescribe the efforts of Christian Religious Education teachers in instillinghonesty and responsibility in students of class X TKR A at SMK Karsa MulyaPalangka Raya.

Employing a qualitative approach, this conceptual study is conducted through a library research method by analyzing relevant literature on OBE, educational assessment, and Christian Religious Education. Data analysis is carried out using content analysis and conceptual synthesis. The findings indicate that OBE-based assessment in Christian Religious Education should be developed through constructive alignment among learning outcomes, performance indicators, instructional strategies, and authentic assessment covering cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains in an integrated manner. Assessment is positioned not merely as an evaluative tool but also as a pedagogical and pastoral means that fosters faith reflection and continuous improvement.

Using Symbolic Action Theory and historical qualitative methods, the study finds that this game is not merely entertainment, but is rich in profound philosophical values. Lopi-lopi symbolizes independence and harmony with nature, while the sea breeze represents human-environment collaboration. The straight course and wide finish line reflect the importance of strategy and precision in achieving goals, while the use of natural materials (kapok wood) underscores local wisdom. The Palomba Lopi-lopi also serves as a historical marker of the Bugis-Makassar ethnic group's migration to Sumbawa following the Bongaya Treaty (1667) and as a form of resistance against Dutch colonialism. Through this game, the community of Labuhan Kertasari preserves their ancestral cultural identity amid the challenges of globalization. Research findings emphasize the importance of preserving this maritime cultural heritage of the Nusantara through documentation and integration into education.</em></p> Fidlia Mae Mae Sarah, Akhmad Arif Musadad, Musa Pelu ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ojs-jireh.org/index.php/jireh/article/view/545 Wed, 31 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000
