INTRODUCTION
Surabaya is the capital city of East Java, which has a variety of cultures, such as traditions, traditional foods, and historical places. Based on the Surabaya Medium-Term Development Plan for 2016-2021, the Sunan Ampel area is a cultural heritage area that has distinctive characteristics so that it attracts many tourists both from the local community and abroad. (Kartikasari, 2018)
According to (Hadiwinoto 2021) states that preserving culture must be done by all levels of society, by collaborating to carry out work programs that have been prepared by the government. However, the fact is that until now there are no programs or activities to preserve Sunan Ampel's religious culture involving all levels of society.
The Ampel area, Surabaya is one of the trade centers located in North Surabaya. Arab groups that urbanized to trade and preach to spread Islam centuries ago. The urban Arab group to Surabaya started from traders who married local people and lived in the Surabaya area. (CPIN, 2019)
The night of Lailatul Qadar is a day that Muslims are looking forward to, because it is a night full of glory. Lailatul Qadar is generally welcomed by Muslims by strengthening practices and worship to Allah SWT. Carrying out religious traditions on the last 10 nights of the holy month of Ramadan is a form of enthusiasm to obtain rewards and preserve existing traditions. One of the areas in Surabaya that is famous for its religious traditions is the Sunan Ampel area. (Putri & Busro, 2022) This is because the people of Ampel are still thick with customs and traditions, considering that there is Sunan Ampel's tomb which is used as a pilgrimage site. Activities that are generally carried out by the people of Ampel as a tradition in the month of Ramadan are the maleman tradition in this maleman tradition they perform i'tiqaf at the Sunan Ampel Grand Mosque. Muslims in the last 10 days of Ramadan are looking for a mosque that is used as a community to carry out the maleman tradition. On the night of Lailatul Qadar the angels descend to bring blessings and mercy, the night which according to the Qur'an is referred to as the night that is better than a thousand moons.
This tradition is carried out by the people wholeheartedly to obtain rewards and glory without any coercion, people choose large mosques such as the Sunan Ampel Grand Mosque which can accommodate the surrounding community or from outside the city. The maleman tradition still persists because the community has the belief that Sunan Ampel can be a direct link to convey their prayers to Allah Swt. In its implementation, the maleman tradition is a form of interaction and social relations that are useful to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood among Muslims and strengthen each other's faith. The night of Lailatul Qadar cannot be predicted when it will occur, this makes people curious and suspicious of each other. Because in the Qur'an it is stated that the signs of the coming night of Lailatul Qadar are winds that feel cool and calm, do not rain, at night and during the day do not feel hot and do not feel cold so that worship feels solemn. Not only worshipping, but some people also donate part of their sustenance to provide food and drinks for people who are worshipping in mosques. This can attract the enthusiasm of the community to worship in the mosque. (Fauzi & Hamidah, 2021)
