Abstract
This paper aims to explore the debates and discourses concerning the Mawlîd Festival. The Mawlid Festival of the Prophet Muhammad is one of the Islamic popular events mostly held in pesantren. Historically, it was a heritage initially acknowledged by the Dinasty of Fâtimîyah (909-1171 M) to gain a fancy of Moslems to support their authority of Islamic leadership. It was used to strengthen their political ways to gain many public opinions in relation with their genealogical relationship with the prophet. In addition, the Mawlid festival does not only function to liven up Moslem community affection toward the prophet but also symbolically function as a psychological antidote to muffle the pain after having war. At the end, Moslem intellectuals started to scrutinize the festival and discuss its essence. However, such festival creates a big debate around Moslem scholars who have pro and contra in seeing it for instance al-Suyûtî who sees the festival in contradictive way. The discussion over Islamic religious tradition constitutes a strategy to test the level of good argument proposed by each groups of Islamic organization.
