STUDY OF SYMBOLIC MEANING OF BERAGAMA MODERATION BEHIND THE SONGKOK OF THE RED IMAMAH OF SANTRI

Case Study Of Student Of The Jami' Nurul Hasan Mosqoue In Nogosaren Village

Abstract

Nogosaren Village has a rich culture and religious traditions. In the midst of this social and cultural order, the use of the red imamah songkok by students at the Jami' Nurul Hasan Mosque stands out as a distinctive symbol of religious moderation. However, there has been no in-depth study of the symbolic meaning behind this practice. Therefore, this research aims to explore the symbolic meaning contained in the use of the red imamah songkok by students at the Jami' Nurul Hasan Mosque, Nogosaren Village. Through a qualitative approach with case studies, data was collected through participant observation, interviews, and content analysis of related information. The research results show that the use of red songkok imamah is not just traditional clothing, but is also a deep expression of religious identity, spiritual values, religious moderation and a strong appreciation of religion in the daily lives of students. The symbolic meaning of the red songkok imamah illustrates the depth of the meaning of religion in culture and religious practices in the village, as well as strengthening social ties and solidarity among the santri community. The implications of this research enrich understanding of the role of religious symbols in building local religious identities and communities.
