very interesting question from Mr. priest of the mind. S. Interms of media, the
shape of the woven bamboo in the form of a rectangular rhombus is similar to the
diamond during the celebration of Eid al-Fitr with the main ingredients being rice
and coconut leaves. philosophy of ketupat itself according to (Samsul Nizar 2022,
Professor & Head of STAIN Bengkalis). Ketupat for Javanese people has a strong
philosophy. The shape of the ketupat symbolizes the embodiment of Qibla Papat
Limo Pancer. That is, the side of the diamond symbolizes the balance of nature in
the four cardinal directions, namely east, south, west and north. Even though it
has four directions, there is only one Qibla or center (baitullah). This means that
wherever people go, they must not forget the pacer (direction) of the Qibla,
namely the obligation to pray and serve Allah. meanwhile According to Prof. Dr
Mattulada, an anthropologist from Hasanuddin University. the philosophy of
^sulapa eppa wala suji^ in the form of a rhombus. At the wedding ceremony of
the Bugis community, it is interpreted as the protector of the daughter, the
rectangular rhombus concept is placed horizontally with the middle world. This
view sees the world as a perfection. The perfection referred to is the four cardinal
directions, namely south, west, north and east, the mythological view of the
Bugis people who view this universe as Sulapa Eppa^ Walasuji (a rhombus
quadrilateral). symbolizes a balance that weighs neither to the left nor to the
right. This means that in utilizing the natural wealth that is given it must be
harmonious and balanced. Respect for nature must be based on reason (ratio)
and not on lustful desires. So in terms of the shape of this diamond has a
religious value which has an attitude to live in balance by utilizing the wealth of
the universe shown by the four cardinal directions without forgetting the creator
of the universe. Please correct and suggest if there are errors. thanks.
