Duk Pakat traditional ceremony
Tonight was a meaningful night, filled with two important agendas that connected tradition and togetherness. The first agenda took me to the Duk Pakat traditional event at the house of Ikbal Munandar. This event is a tradition full of cultural values, where family and relatives gather to establish relationships and pray. Tonight, Ikbal Munandar's house was filled with a warm atmosphere, with the presence of many guests who came to provide support and prayers. I felt happy to be a part of this precious moment, as well as reminding me of the importance of maintaining tradition and togetherness.

After finishing the traditional event, I continued to the next agenda, to attend the first night of tahlilan at the funeral home with the congregation. The funeral home was filled with a solemn atmosphere with neighbors, family and relatives who were present to pray for the deceased. Tahlilan began with the reading of short verses and continued with a joint prayer led by a local religious figure. This moment was a reminder of the importance of supporting each other in grief, as well as praying for the goodness of those who had returned to Rahmatullah.

After the tahlilan, we were all invited to eat together, a tradition that is a symbol of solidarity and respect for the bereaved family. Although the atmosphere of grief enveloped, there was a strong sense of togetherness among the attendees. I felt grateful to be there, to provide a little comfort to the bereaved family through my presence and prayers.

As the night drew near, I decided to go home and rest. The journey home gave me time to reflect. Tonight taught me about the importance of maintaining social relationships, both in joy and sorrow. Attending traditional events and at the funeral home is a real manifestation of the values of togetherness and care that need to be maintained.
When I got home, my body felt tired, but my heart felt calm. Tonight was not only about carrying out two agendas, but also about strengthening bonds with family, friends and the community. Hopefully traditions like this will continue to be preserved, strengthening the values of togetherness and prayer in every step of life.
