Barzanji Tradition as a Media for Internalizing Islamic Values in Religious Life and Islamic Education
Abstract
This study was motivated by the perception that the Barzanji tradition is merely a routine religious activity, while its role in internalizing Islamic educational values has not received adequate attention. This study aims to examine the internalization of Islamic educational values within the Barzanji tradition and to explore how these values manifest in the religious life of the community. A qualitative approach with a field study design was used in this research. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation. The research findings indicate that the Barzanji tradition embodies the fundamental values of Islamic education, namely faith (akidah), worship (ibadah), and moral conduct (akhlak). These values are not only conveyed through the recitation of the Barzanji text but are also internalized through religious practices, social interactions, and customs shaped by this tradition. The process of internalization takes place in three stages: value transformation, value transaction, and trans-internalization. Value transformation occurs through the transmission and understanding of Islamic teachings; value transaction develops through interaction and participation in the Barzanji tradition; while trans-internalization is reflected in the formation of attitudes, religious consciousness, and moral behavior in daily life. Thus, the Barzanji tradition functions not merely as a religious ritual, but as a culturally embedded means of internalizing Islamic educational values and strengthening religious life and social bonds within the community.
