buffalo (Kebo), which is given horns and black throughout the body. It
symbolizes that buffaloes are strong animals and become the foundation of the
community who earn a living as farmers.2
4. Dugderan – Semarang
Dugderan contains carnivals which are followed by red and white troops,
drumbands, traditional clothing forces of various regions, gun, warak ngendok,
and various arts in Semarang which will be held one day before the fasting month.
Dugderan is a tradition since 1881. At that time, RMT Aryo Purbaningrat first
rang drums and cannons at the Semarang Grand Mosque to notify the beginning
of Ramadan. The event was finally preserved as a tradition before the month of
Ramadan and added a carnival to entertain the citizens of Semarang City. At this
carnival there is one thing that is considered unique, namely the existence of
Warak Ngendok. That is an imaginary creature that can only be found in the
Dugderan Carnival. Warak Ngendhog is upheld in dance as a symbol of harmony
among Semarang City residents consisting of various races. The dragon-shaped
Warak head symbolizes Chinese descent, the Buroq body symbolizes Arab
descent, and the goat's foot symbolizes Javanese native people.4
5. Makepung – Bali
Makepung is a tradition on the island of Bali where it is located in the city
of Jembrana. Makepung means chases where buffaloes will compete to race in the
conditions of rice fields. This tradition was initially only used as a game for
farmers, but in the past few years Makepung was used for learning activities in
plowing fields. Not only displaying buffalo racing, but in the process of the race
accompanied by musicians from a special jegog or gamelan made from bamboo.
In terms of the appearance of buffalo, it should also be decorated as attractive as

possible so that it can attract the judges, while the size of the track length or "U"
shaped track with 1-2km length.5
England is a country known for its panoramic beauty. Aside from the
various beauty of interesting tourist attractions to visit, there are not a few unique
effects of English people that you should know and must watch it directly if you
are traveling or studying there. Talk about tradition, not only Indonesia has a
unique tradition in the eyes of foreigners. It is fitting for our beloved Indonesia to
emulate the United Kingdom in terms of maintaining our original traditions and
culture. Obviously, because the British state, which is a country which has many
colonies, apparently also has some strange and unique traditions that are still
maintained and carried out until now.
1. Morris Dance
Morris dance, also spelled Moresgue, Morrice, Morisque, or Morrisk,
ritual folk dance performed in rural England by groups of specially chosen and
trained men; less specifically, a variety of related customs, such as mumming, as
well as some popular entertainments derived from them. Similar customs are
widespread throughout Europe and extend to the Middle East, India, and parts of
Central and South America. Notable examples are the Perchten dancer-
masqueraders of Austria, the ritual dances such as the moriscas (or moriscos),
santiagos, and matachinas of the Mediterranean and Latin America, and the
călușari of Romania. The wide distribution of such dances suggests an ancient
Indo-European origin. A common feature of many of them is that of a group of
dancing men attendant on a pagan god who celebrates his revival after death.
Often the dancers wear white clothes and dance with bells fastened to the legs or
body. A feeling that the dances have magic power or bring luck persists wherever
they are traditionally performed.
The central figure of the dances, usually an animal-man, varies
considerably in importance. In some cases, he may dominate the rite; in others—
as in many English Morris dances—the young men in the corps d’élite may
dominate, with the animal-man and other dramatic characters either relegated to
the subsidiary role of comics or omitted. The name Morris is also associated with
the horn dance held each year at Abbots Bromley, Staffordshire, Eng. This dance
procession includes six animal-men bearing deer antlers, three white and three
black sets; a man-woman, or Maid Marian, and a fool, both carrying phallic
symbols; a hobby horse; and a youth with a crossbow who shoots at the leading
“stags” whenever possible.

A comparable surviving animal custom is the May Day procession of a
man-horse, notably at Padstow, Cornwall. There, the central figure, “Oss Oss,” is
a witch doctor disguised as a horse and wearing a medicine mask. The dancers are
attendants who sing the May Day song, beat drums, and in turn act the horse or
dance in attendance. The name Morris is also associated with groups of mummers
who act, rather than dance, the death-and-survival rite at the turn of the year.
Throughout history, the Morris seems to have been common. It was
imported from village festivities into popular entertainment after the invention of
the court masque by Henry VIII. The word Morris apparently derived from
“morisco,” meaning “Moorish.” Cecil Sharp, whose collecting of Morris dances
preserved many from extinction, suggested that it might have arisen from the
dancers’ blacking their faces as part of the necessary ritual disguise.
Among specific Morris dances are Bean Setting, Leap Frog, and Laudnum
Bunches. The few solo Morris dances are called Morris jigs; an example is the
Shepherds’ Hey. The name Morris dance is sometimes loosely applied to sword
dances in which a group of men weave their swords into intricate patterns.
Compare sword dance.
2. Charming Worms
Charming worms or fishing for earthworms, initially was one of the odd
activities in the Annual Summer Festival. Even the games belonging to the
outdoor arventur category have championships. The game in America is called a
grunting worm or the gruntin worm is said to originate from the traditions of the
surrounding community who like to collect and sell earthworms as bait.
How to play this charming worm is very simple. Here you only need a
piece of land, which is divided into several small plots. In it, children must lure as
many earthworms as possible to rise to the surface in the allotted time. The person
who collects the most earthworms from the plot will be declared the winner.
Rule of the game :
A. PLOT
B. PARTICIPANTS
C. EARTHWORMS
a) Plot
The foundation for fishing for earthworms in America and the United
Kingdom agreed that the plot was ideal for carrying out a charming
3x3 meter worm.
This box-shaped plot is marked by using threads or it can be by
sticking a small stick in each corner of the plot.

b) Participants
Participants consist of several teams, where one team will usually be
filled by one or two people, where one of them is assigned as a
collector, and one of them is an angler.
Participants are required to wear unique clothing or traditional
clothing.
Participants are allowed to use various techniques to collect as many
earthworms as possible. But it is better to use traditional methods.
c) Earthworms
To get earthworms, participants must be able to fish to the surface.
Participants are also prohibited from digging or using methods that
could endanger other ecosystems.
All earthworms that have been successfully fishing will be collected in
a bucket or cup containing moist compost. Until now, the record for
catching earthworms is more than 500 birds.

Like sugar, riding oily poles, smoking contests and the most eagerly
awaited is the gurning contest. The gurning contest always attracts a lot of
attention. Because besides being funny is also fun. How not, Gurning is a
competition that requires participants to fold their faces. This is what makes the
gurning contest attract a lot of attention. In this case it does not require special
skills or regular training. However, it only requires high self-esteem and many
teeth are dated. Therefore, this contest was attended by many elderly people.
There is even a championship called "World Gurning Championship" which was
held in Egremont, England. Usually, participants must wear a horse strap and then
display their faces as silly as possible.
The gurning contest always attracts a lot of attention. Because besides
being funny is also fun. How not, Gurning is a competition that requires
participants to fold their faces. This is what makes the gurning contest attract a lot
of attention. No need any specialty or daily exercise. But it requires high self-
esteem and many teeth that are dated. Because of that, this contest was followed
by many elderly people.

C. The Tradition in Islamic Vision
Tradition is something that has been carried out for a long time and it is
part of the life of a group or society, usually from a country, culture, time, or the
same religion. As we know, our world has many traditions from each country.
This tradition is called local wisdom. In terms of looking at local wisdom, it is
actually not a new item in Islam. The Islamic world of Fiqh we know ‘urf, which
is tells about a ma’ruf tradition in a place, which is unique, and is related to local
benefit. However, now we need ‘urf study in a different touch. Adopting ‘urf is
one problem, while respecting the existence of ‘urf is another matter.
1. Tradition according to the Qur'an
Islam goes down not in an empty space of culture. Islamic power is in
its ability to adapt to previous cultures, and harmonize it with Islamic values.
In Islam, we know the term “syar’un man qoblana” (al-Jasiyah: 16 – 18) is
Islamic shari'a which originates from the adaptation of the Shari'a of the
people before Islam. The essence of this world is that there is no culture that
is not God's creation. So that in dealing with every local wisdom, there are
two general rules:
(a) which can be absorbed without damaging the creed, absorb it
(b) which is contrary to the creed, attitude wisely (an-Nahl: 125).

“Abu Musa al-Asy’ari radhiyallahu ‘anhu berkata: “If the Prophet
sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam sent someone from his best friend about an
affair, he would advise:" Convey good news, and do not make them hate (to
religion). Make it easy and don't make it difficult.” (HR. Muslim [1732])
The hadist above tells us that Islam is a religion that gives good news,
and does not make others hate it, makes it easy and does not make it difficult,
among others by accepting a system from outside Islam that invites goodness.

As understood, a society is very hard to abandon long-standing traditions.
Refusing their traditions means making it difficult for their Islam.
