Tinjauan Al-Qur’an terhadap Budaya Inrang Tassisingar Di Kelurahan Baruga Kecamatan Banggae Timur Kabupaten Majene Provinsi Sulawesi Barat

Abstract

This research discusses the culture of inrang tassisingar conducted in Baruga Village, East Banggae District, Majene Regency, West Sulawesi Province. Researchers conducted a study using field research methods through the approach of interpretive science and social psychology. Data collection was done by observation, interview, and documentation. Research conducted from August 22, 2022 - November 25, 2022 showed that the inrang tassisingar culture is a practice of mutual assistance carried out on a rolling basis in a community environment to meet the needs of organizing an event. The recipient of the assistance seeks to repay the assistance so that a feeling of "debt" arises, even though the one who helps does not make it a "debt". The application of inrang tassisingar culture is carried out in joyous events and events due to calamities. The type of assistance provided can be in the form of rice, sugar, flour, money, eggs, chickens, goats, dos of water, and others. If you are not able to, then not replying is also not a problem. Furthermore, the Qur'anic review of inrang tassisingar can be explored from the values contained in it, namely the value of assitulu-tulungang (helping) QS al-Mā'idah/5: 2; palluluareang (brotherhood) QS al-Ḥujurāt/49: 10; sianaoang pa'mai' (care/solidarity) QS al-Anfāl/8: 72 and 74; mutual respect QS al-Nisā'/4: 86; unity QS Āli 'Imrān/3: 103; gratitude and thanksgiving QS Ibrāhim/14: 7; and finally, sipe'i-pe'illang (visiting each other) QS al-Nisā'/4: 36. This research is important to understand, and to live by, as well as to maintain its practice in social life, because the culture of helping has many benefits.
