“…Such expressions can also be found in different cultures and religions. Based on the previous studies, it can be interpreted that the Banjar culture and its Islamic dominance share a similar pattern with another Abrahamic religion, such as Catholicism, regarding cultural expression (Elizondo, 2015;Thao Nguyen, 2017;Auni & Nidawati, 2023).…”

The Radap Rahayu is a ritual dance performed today by the Banjar ethnic group in Gambut District, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan. It is used for traditional Banjar rituals, such as weddings, bathing, and building erections. This research aimed to describe the importance of the Radap Rahayu dance for the Banjar people and its relation to their well-being and spirituality. This qualitative research used a theoretical framework established by Berger and Luckmann (1990). Through the social construction theory, the researchers explored how the Banjar people make sense of their culture and express their spirituality through art. The informants were determined using purposive sampling on 25 individuals, and data collection was conducted through observations and in-depth interviews. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis and reviewed based on existing literature. The findings showed that the function and meaning of the Radap Rahayu dance, according to the Banjar people, are not merely an art performance but a vital ritual integrated into their daily lives. The researchers identified limbai movement, spiritual meaning, spiritual beings, and guardian crocodiles as domains of social construction. This aligns with the framework, highlighting that a phenomenon displays multiple realities.

“…The implementation of marriage usually relates to the progression of time and culture in people"s lives. In cultural reality, the embodiment of religious teachings and local culture occurs in marriage and it is not uncommon in a marriage culture to find various symbols that are full of meaning (Auni & Nidawati, 2023;Khoiroh & Syakur, 2023).…”

There is a trend among Muslims, especially married couples, not to or delay having children. Meanwhile, having children horizontally is one of the main goals of marriage to continue the human race. This literature research used secondary data which were collected in two ways: manually and online. Manual data comprised information derived from major books on marriage, maqasid al-shari’a, and others. Online data were acquired in the form of articles attributed to research themes using an open journal system. The collected data were subsequently analyzed through data reduction, data display, and verification techniques. This research found that the goal of marriage in Islamic law referred to both horizontal and vertical aspects. Vertically, marriage aimed to display one’s level of allegiance to God, who created him. This obedience was accompanied by a faith test in the shape of the ability to restrict and control desires in the face of the magnitude of human sexuality’s challenges and God’s call to produce pious offspring. Horizontally, the aim of marriage was directly tied to oneself, others, and the surrounding environment. Marriage, in this perspective, served a social function by creating a communal family. Families could be formed and developed when there were children and offspring. As a result, the presence of children in a marriage is essential for establishing society, nation, and civilization, because those all cannot exist without children.
