Tolerance Attitude Analysis of the Social Piety Value in the Novel Lingkar Tanah Lingkar Air Based on Prophetic Ethics

This study analyzes tolerance attitude as a manifestation of social piety values within the framework of prophetic ethics in the novel Lingkar Tanah Lingkar Air by Ahmad Tohari. This study aims to understand how the novel depicts tolerance in the context of diversity in Indonesia. Using Goldmann's genetic structuralism approach and Jurij Lotman's semiotics, qualitative research methods were used, involving hermeneutic analysis and interviews with the author. The results showed a binary opposition between the character Kang Suyud, who represents a rigid interpretation of Islam, and Kyai Ngumar, who prioritizes tolerance. The novel illustrates how differences in religious understanding do not have to lead to conflict, emphasizing the importance of social piety manifested through tolerance and empathy. Kyai Ngumar's tolerant attitude contrasts with Kang Suyud's intolerance, showing the importance of moderation and understanding diversity to maintain social harmony in Indonesia, aligning with prophetic ethical values. This study concludes that tolerance is the key to building an inclusive society in Indonesia, which is rich in cultural and religious diversity.
