Reconstructing the Philosophy of Marriage: Banjar Wedding Rituals as Cultural Implementation of Maqashid al-Nikah in Achieving Spiritual Sanctity and Social Harmony. INTRODUCTION The Banjar people are Malay people who are Muslims, and most of them are Dayak people who have embraced Islam. 1 The Banjar people, wherever they are, always hold tightly to the traditions carried out by their parents. Among the traditions preserved by the Banjar people is the tradition of bridal bathing called Mandi Bapapai or Mandi Badudus. The term Bapapai means sprinkling water that has been recited by mantras on someone with the aim that the person becomes clean from all diseases or clean from the disturbance of supernatural beings. The term Badudus comes from the word Dudus which has relevance to the word Adus (Javanese languag. , which means doing the work of bathing. 2 The ritual of Mandi Bapapai or Mandi Badudus is usually carried out a few days before the wedding party or after the marriage contract. Mandi Badudus is used for bridal bathing ceremonies for descendants of nobles and temple families, or carried out when there is a coronation of the king. While Mandi Bapapai is for ordinary people or the Dayak tribe. The Mandi Bapapai ritual for the Banjar people contains philosophical meanings such as an expression of joy and gratitude to Allah SWT. The Mandi Bapapai ritual is a means to pray and ask God so that the bride and groom can build a good household. In addition. Mandi Bapapai is interpreted as a transition of the bride and groom from adolescence to adulthood, which according to the beliefs of the Banjar people if the ritual is not performed, the bride and groom will experience bad things in the future. 4 The Mandi Bapapai ritual is also a means of cleansing the body and soul from all impurities and diseases so that they can build a good family. Mandi Bapapai is part of a series of Banjar traditional marriage ceremonies, which are performed before the marriage ceremony. In its implementation, the bride-to-be is bathed in water that has been read prayers and mantras, with the aim of cleansing herself outwardly and inwardly. Researchers found several studies that discussed the Ritual of Mandi Bapapai in Banjar traditional marriage. Research on this theme was not limited to Kalimantan but was conducted in several regions in Indonesia. Among them is the research of Nurhasanah Hasbullah and M. Syahran Jailani in Jambi Province. The result of the research is the Mandi Bapapai Ritual which is a hereditary tradition in the Banjar Tribe of Kuala Tungkal. Jambi Province, while the purpose of carrying out this ritual is to fortify the bride and groom from disease and evil interference. 6 Then the research of Nerisa Setiawan and Nuriza Dora in Labuhan batu. North Sumatra. The result of the research is that the Badudus bathing ritual in the Banjar Tribe community reflects the integration of cultural values and Islamic The values taught include cleanliness and purity, solidarity and togetherness, spirituality and devotion to God, respect for customs and culture as well as discipline and 1 Ira Mentayani dan Dila Nadya Andhini.

Among them is Wulan Putri Wardani's research, the result of which is the Mandi Bapapai ritual in Banjar traditional marriage, when viewed from the implementation process, it is not in accordance with Islamic law, because overall the Mandi Bapapai tradition is categorized as 'urf fasad . ontrary to Islamic la. 9 Furthermore. Nur Imami Rahman's research, the result of the research is the Mandi Bapapai ritual when viewed from the aspect of the purpose of its implementation, it can be categorized as a sohih urf . ontaining benefit. Based on some of the research results above, there is a connection between the implementation of the Mandi Bapapai ritual and the purpose of marriage in Islam (Maqashid al-Nika. , so it becomes interesting if the context of Mandi Bapapai in the Banjar traditional ritual is associated with a systematic study of Maqashid al-Nikah. The purpose of this research is to produce a construction of Banjar customary marriage philosophy in the Mandi Bapapai ritual from the perspective of Maqashid al-Nikah in achieving spiritual purity and marriage harmony. The problem is focused on two discussions, namely how does the ritual of Mandi Bapapai of Banjar traditional marriage reflect the objectives of Maqashid alNikah? And what are the spiritual and social roles in this ritual in realizing the sanctity and harmony of marriage. Maqashid al-Nikah is one of the branches of Maqashid al-Syari'ah. The essence of Maqashid al-Syari'ah is to realize goodness and benefit for human life both in this world and in the Hereafter. According to Hammadi al-Ubaidy, every burden in Islamic law contains meaning, wisdom and benefit. 12 Based on the essence of Maqashid al-Syari'ah, what the author means by Maqashid al-Nikah is the main objectives and benefits of making marriage between men and women legal in order to realize goodness for the sustainability of a The same definition is also stated by Much. Nurcholis, namely the goals and benefits behind the establishment of the marriage law for the good of the husband and wife and their families both in this world and in the hereafter. According to Jamaluddin Athiyyah, there are seven main objectives of the provision of marriage in Islamic law14 .

Second, maintaining the generation of offspring. The state is present in regulating the prohibition of the practice of adultery, abortion, and IVF. Including policies in the iddah period which aim to maintain the survival of prospective babies. The purpose of marriage is to ensure the continuation of humanity from the threat of extinction. Third, creating a family that is sakinah, mawaddah and Rahmah. The peace of each individual family is a need that must be met. The purpose of marriage is to regulate the pattern of relationships between husband and wife in the best ways, such as in the ethics of getting along in the household and the ethics of intercourse. Fourth, maintaining the lineage. Islamic law prohibits adultery and prohibits attributing lineage to other than the child's parents, such as attributing the lineage of adopted children to their adoptive parents. The purpose of this marriage is to regulate so that the descendants have a clear lineage. Fifth, maintaining religious values in the family. Family members who are far from religion will cause damage, so the Sharia gives responsibility to the head of the family from the beginning of the family formation to choose a woman of the same religion. The purpose of marriage is to regulate and prioritize religious and moral criteria in choosing a life partner. Sixth, maintaining the main aspects of the family institution. The purpose of this marriage is to regulate the rights and obligations between families such as the rights of wives and children. Seventh, maintaining the economic aspects of the family. The purpose of this marriage is to ensure the stability of the economic capacity aspect, such as the obligation of the husband to give a marriage dowry. Given the relationship between the implementation of the Mandi Bapapai ritual and the purpose of marriage in Islam and the lack of studies systematically link traditional rituals with Maqashid al-Nikah, this article offers a philosophical construction of banjar traditional marriage as an implementation of Maqashid al-Nikah in achieving Spiritual Purity and marital harmony.

To ensure data validity, references from credible academic sources were used, and triangulation was conducted by comparing findings from various previous RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS Philosophical Reconstruction of Marriage: Banjar Wedding Rituals as Cultural Implementation of MaqAid al-NikAh in Achieving Spiritual Purity and Harmony The implementation of the Mandi Bapapai ritual practiced by the Banjar community has various procedures in each region, but has the same meaning of purpose, namely as an effort to protect the bride and groom from negative things as well as positive expectations for the bride and groom. The following is a description of the procedure for implementation of Mandi Bapapai in a traditional Banjar marriage performed by the Banjar community in one of the regions in Indonesia: First, the preparation stage. At this stage the bride and groom do three things, namely Betimung. Bapacar or Bainai and Drinking Banyu Tawar. Betimung is a traditional steam bath of the Banjar tribe using special spices, this procession aims to remove a lot of sweat from the body so that the body becomes fresh and when pairing does not release a lot of sweat or unpleasant aroma. The Bainai procession is decorating the nails with henna leaves or While what is meant by drinking Banyu Tawar, is drinking water that has been given a prayer by religious leaders. Second, the Mandi Bapapai ritual procession. The stage starts from the bride and groom heading to the Mandi Bapapai ritual place. The journey to the bathing place is accompanied by shalawat led by one of the figures in charge of bathing. Then the village midwife or makeup artist rubs the bride's body with kasai . made from turmeric, kaffir lime mixed with rice powder which has previously been prayed for and blown with the recitation of the Qur'an verse Surah Yusuf. Then the bathing officer breaks the sheath of the mayang pinang at the same time as pouring water over the bride's head and sprinkles water using the mayang over the bride's head three or seven times.

When the bride and groom have reached the recitation of the 105th surah . l-Fii. , the children and teenagers in the neighborhood usually fight over the cooked eggs and eat them.

Thus, as a bride she is considered ready to play her new position as a wife and mother who can educate and teach her children in the future. The purpose of the Mandi Bapapai ritual in Kuala Tungkal. Jambi Province is. As a sign of status transition and breaking ties with life before marriage.

South Kalimantan, the implementation of the Banjar traditional Mandi Bapapai ritual has several objectives. first, as a form of physical and spiritual purification of the bride and groom, because they will carry out one of the sacred tasks in life in the world in the form of responsibility in fostering marriage.

Based on the objectives of the Mandi Bapapai ritual in a traditional Banjar marriage, it can be seen that the Mandi Bapapai ritual tradition is performed by the Banjar community because they want to maintain the customs inherited from their ancestors. However, not all Banjar people know the meaning behind the ritual. There are also those who believe in the ritual tradition but do not always have to perform it. 28 However, there are also a number of Banjar people who believe that the Mandi Bapapai ritual in a traditional Banjar marriage must be performed, if not performed, it is believed that it will cause harm to the bride and groom, especially if the bride and groom have a lineage that must be carried out, such as the Banjar people who still have a lineage of Tutus Buaya and Tutus Mayang. Mandi Bapapai is one of the important rituals in the Banjar marriage tradition, which is also related to the tutus crocodile lineage. In this context, tutus crocodile refers to a lineage that is considered to have a connection with supernatural beings, especially crocodiles, which in Banjar beliefs are often regarded as symbols of strength and protection. The Mandi Bapapai ritual serves not only as a physical cleansing, but also as an attempt to gain blessings and protection from supernatural forces that are believed to affect the lives of the bridal In the context of tutus crocodile descent, this ritual becomes more meaningful because it is believed that brides who come from this lineage have a special bond with the supernatural world, so this ritual becomes a means to strengthen this relationship 30 . 25Febyola.
