This paper discusses the harmonious dialectics process between Hindus and Muslims through ‘urf or local
wisdom which is believed to have philosophical, sociological, and psychological values with pluralmulticultural nuances for the community of Jembrana, Province of Bali. This paper focuses on searching the
effectiveness of some ‘urf or local wisdom that functioning as a means of interacting between two religious
communities leading to peaceful practices on Hindu-Muslim communities in Jembrana-Bali. The data
sources are field observations and unstructured interviews from March-July 2019. This study is a field
research using a case study method. The results show that the dialectics process with a multicultural nuance
between Hindus and Muslims in Jembrana is through the ‘urf or local wisdom, namely male, ngejot,
rebana, and mekepung traditions. Furthermore, from these four traditions, there is a process of active
involvement, constructive understanding, and efforts to find joint commitments from various commitments so
that a sense of brotherhood and understanding of the diversity between the two religious communities becomes
extremely close. This dialectic can also shape the character of Hindu and Muslim communities in Jembrana
to be humanist, tolerant, and inclusive, this phenomenon then leads to the process of association, integration,
complementation, and sublimation. This research contributes to the field of religious and cultural studies by
demonstrating how ‘urf traditions serve as mechanisms for fostering tolerance, humanism, and inclusivity in
a pluralistic society. It confirms the theory that Islamization in the region is not a confrontational process
but rather an adaptive and integrative one. Methodologically, this study highlights the significance of
qualitative case studies in exploring interfaith relations through localized traditions.
