ABSTRAK

This study reviews the local wisdom and harmony in the tradition of Maarak Kitab Bukhari (MKB) in Banjar community. This study uses religious anthropological approaches to explore various ideas and comprehension of the research object. The result shows that this tradition is motivated by environmental condition of Banjar which is prone to fire. As part of a tradition of starting reinforcements, MKB is carried out when people have seen some signs or warnings and dealt with specific situations. This tradition is done at night during dry season when fires frequently happened, with the aim of counteracting the danger of fire and asking for salvation. In this tradition, certain procession is conducted to be a sort of intermediary or the cause so that it prevents from the fire. The agenda consists of doing 'hajat' prayers, reading surah Yaasin, parading the holy book around the village, reciting the lines of 'Burdah', reading salawat 'Kamilah', and praying for salvation. The description of religious values and propaganda contained in this tradition is strong evidence of the ability of the previous scholars to acculturate the comprehension and behavior of Banjar society before the arrival of Islam. MKB is one of the traditions that reflect the meeting between Islam and local culture.
