This can be seen from the tradition in Indonesia such as praying for people who have died, mauludan, haul, halal bi halal, and berkatan. Some of these tradition are the character of Islam in Indonesia. As stated by dialectical theory, the hadis and the culture are two opposites thing. However, both of them can be reconciled. For example, the tradition of berkatan/ tumpengan, this tradition is an implementation of the advise of giving in Islam.
