Revision History
Comments for the author/ editors
The texts is interesting, providing valuable insights into the pilgrimage to the sacred tombs of the Lombok Sasak Tribe. However, I have some comments that, in my opinion, will demand substantial revisions of this paper.
1. The most crucial problem is that the paper has no specific theoretical questions and is not structured according to a core theoretical framing. I suggest that the author(s) produce a strong question that is clearly related to current argument in the study of anthropology of religion in general and anthropology of pilgrimage in particular.
2. The contribution of this paper to anthropology should be explained in the introduction and through the paper.
3. The methods for the investigation of this paper should be explained in details and explained how these methods are related to the question
4. There is some interesting ethnography involved but they are wasted by the absolute lack of a theoretical framework
5. With regard to ethnographic descriptions/ references to interviews, I suggest adding more details. Providing that kind of information/ context is very important. For example, when was the fieldwork conducted?
6. I also think that the reader would benefit from a more detailed description of the geographical locations of the shrines. It is not clear where exactly they are located.
7. There are some characteristic grammatical errors throughout the text that need to be edited. The whole text needs a careful language editing in particular. I would recommend a copy editing to “naturalize” some of the sentences and find the remaining typographical errors.
In my opinion, the manuscript is eligible for publication only after a careful editing and elaboration.

Motivation and Experience Analyses of Sacred Tomb Pilgrimage As a Learning Of The Sasak Tribe Lombok

1. The most crucial problem is that the paper has no specific theoretical questions and is not structured according to a core theoretical framing. I suggest that the author(s) produce a strong question that is clearly related to current argument in the study of anthropology of religion in general and anthropology of pilgrimage in particular
The above description concludes that the pilgrimage to a sacred tomb is the activity to visit the tomb of waliyullah (saints), considered to have a remarkably extraordinary ability and has a close relationship to Allah Exalted Glorified be He. Some tombs in Lombok island are often visited, mostly when approaching the hajj season or after the hajj pilgrims return from the holy land. A crucial question and very important for researchers is why the tradition of pilgrimage to tombs, especially tombs that are considered sacred, is still preserved. Pilgrimage to the tomb is a choice of sacred rituals for prospective pilgrims in the Sasak community of Lombok.
Therefore, further research is carried out first: the motivation of the sacred tomb pilgrims on the Sasak people in Lombok island, second, how the pilgrims experience the sacred tombs taken as a lesson.
2. The contribution of this paper to anthropology should be explained in the introduction and through the paper
According to sharia terminology, pilgrimage to graves intents to pray for the dead and take the lesson of their current state. In other words, pilgrimage is coming anytime to the graves for requesting Lord's grace to the dead and as a warning, so that, people who live can remember their fate and die eventually. The meaning of pilgrimage is not just visiting the graves, but also
to pray and take the lesson in the pilgrimage activity. Cleric and Islam scholars, based on the Qur'an and Hadith, allow pilgrimage and consider it as a deed with virtues, especially pilgrimage to the tombs of the Prophet and Sages (Syekh Ja’far, 1997). Until now, the pilgrimage activity is widely performed by many Muslim around the world. The foundation of such activity is in one of the Prophet Peace Be Upon Him words: "I used to forbid you to visit graves, [but now] visit them, for it is a reminder of the afterlife" (HR. Muslim).
Generally, graves or cemetery is used to mention a place to bury or in earth the dead. However, there is a specific purpose of using the word tomb or grave; if the person buried is a saint or sages, then the resting grave is called the tomb, not the saint's grave (Nur Syam, 2005). Sacred comes from the word Karamah, which means grandeur.
Sufis or the tariqa follower interpret the word sacred as a state or an extraordinary deeds emerging to a person or conducted by the saints of Allah, for instance, able to cross the ocean on a prayer mat, able to detect a hazard before it occurs, able to appear in many places at the same time, and etcetera. For some people, especially for the Sasak tribe, a tomb is not just a resting place for the dead, but also a sacred place because the one buried or in-earthed is a saint. The saint is believed that animals will not eat the corpse in the ground, such as worms, snake; the corpse will remain intact, and the spirit is believed to has the power to visit its tomb. The person is regarded
close to Allah Exalted, and Glorified be He, so the person is taken as the intermediary pray (wasilah), so that, the prayer promptly reaches Allah Exalted and Glorified be He (Nia, 2009).
3. The methods for the investigation of this paper should be explained in details and explained how these methods are related to the question
This research is qualitative research with case studies. The case study focuses on the pilgrimage phenomenon to the graves of those considered holy people in the following tombs:
The sacred tomb of Almagfurlah TGKH.
Muhammad Zainuddin Abdul Madjid, Pancor East Lombok; the sacred tomb of Batu Layar, West Lombok; The sacred tomb of Ketaq, Central Lombok; The sacred tomb of Bintaro, Mataram City; The sacred tomb of Bayan Beleq, Bayan, North Lombok. This research was conducted on 5 sacred tombs in the island of Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia from June 2018 to May 2019. The data were collected by questionnaire distributed to each sacred tomb.
researchers conducted direct interviews with visitors and guardians of sacred tombs. These sacred tombs are the destination for pilgrims carried out as a part of the hajj procession that must be completed. These pilgrimage sites are considered sufficient to describe and represent the stretching phenomenon of pilgrimage in general. This research activity emphasizes the aspects of events, activities, and processes in grave pilgrimages carried out by individuals or groups (Gall et al. 2003).
The data collection technique was conducted by interview, observation, in-depth discussion and documentation. This research used
interviews and in-depth discussions face-to-face with pilgrims, local figures, etcetera. The method was to collect data and analyzed specifically and then drawing conclusions. In general, the data were analyzed using an interactive model. The data collection process then being summarized, coded, made into categories, illustrated, and carried out conclusions and verification. Data verification is carried out by elaborating based on existing findings (Miles et al., 2014).
4. There is some interesting ethnography involved but they are wasted by the absolute lack of a theoretical framework
The Sasak tribe lives in Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) province. The Sasak tribe population living in Lombok island is around 90%, while the rest live in Sumbawa, and surrounding regions are part of the NTB region (Budiwanti, 2000; Rahman, 2013). The word
"sasak" comes from "Sah", which means "Saka", and "Pergi", which means "Ancestor". People also use the word "Sasak", meaning going to Sasak ancestor's land, as Goris reported (Suwondo, 1994). The Sasak tribe origin is predicted from Java which can be proven with the writings known as "Jejawen." The Sasak tribe has custom or habits called "Sasak custom" as in the other tribes in Indonesia. The habit and custom of the Sasak tribe are mostly found in many works, creations, and initiatives. The habits conducted, preserved, and adjusted into the age development is called custom. Therefore, the habits inherited continuously from generations obeyed and submitted by the Sasak tribe is a Sasak Custom (Suparno, 2002).
5. With regard to ethnographic descriptions/ references to interviews, I suggest adding more details. Providing that kind of information/ context is very important. For example, when was the fieldwork conducted?
This research was conducted on 5 sacred tombs in the island of Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia from June 2018 to May 2019. The data were collected by questionnaire distributed to each sacred tomb. researchers conducted direct interviews with visitors and guardians of sacred tombs.
6. I also think that the reader would benefit from a more detailed description of the geographical locations of the shrines. It is not clear where exactly they are located
The case study focuses on the pilgrimage phenomenon to the graves of those considered holy people in the following tombs: The sacred tomb of Almagfurlah TGKH. Muhammad Zainuddin Abdul Madjid, Pancor East Lombok;
the sacred tomb of Batu Layar, West Lombok;
The sacred tomb of Ketaq, Central Lombok; The sacred tomb of Bintaro, Mataram City; The sacred tomb of Bayan Beleq, Bayan, North Lombok.
7. There are some characteristic grammatical errors throughout the text that need to be edited. The whole text needs a careful language editing in particular. I would recommend a copy editing to “naturalize” some of the sentences and find the remaining typographical errors.

1. Overall Comments to the Author : Contribution of a theoretical nature and in which quantifications are not present. Reveals deep bibliographic research and of current character. The suggestion is to be accepted for publication.
An exciting and distinctive phenomenon has been carried out by the Lombok Sasak people and their closest families:
pilgrimages to sacred tombs before and after leaving for Hajj. The sacred tomb is the tomb of a person who is considered Saint / Kiyai / Tuan Guru. Pilgrimage to the sacred graves is usually carried out before and after performing Hajj. This pilgrimage aims to gain salvation, the blessing of the Saint or Waliyullah's prayers, and fulfil the vows that prospective pilgrims have said. Not all sacred graves can be a pilgrimage destination for prospective pilgrims. Because the tombs addressed are only individual sacred graves that the Sasak people believe to be divine for their safety in performing the pilgrimage.
Pilgrimage sites that prospective pilgrims usually use for Hajj are the sacred tomb of Almagfurlah TGKH. Muhammad Zainuddin Abdul Madjid, Pancor East Lombok; the sacred tomb of Batu Layar, West Lombok;
the sacred tomb of Ketaq, Central Lombok;
the sacred tomb of Bintaro, Mataram City;
the sacred tomb of Bayan Beleq, Bayan, North Lombok.
Figure 1 shows that the motivation and experience gained while carrying out the
grave pilgrimage activities as learning. The primary motivation for the pilgrimage to the sacred tomb is high religious motivation.
The experiences can be learned first to remember the struggle of the scholars who spread Islam. The Islam propagators in Lombok were buried and made into sacred tombs. The second experience is that the pilgrims remember death; every human being will die anytime and anywhere. The third experience is to render lessons to continue preserving purity and cleanliness.
The fourth experience is to strengthen the brotherhood between siblings and fellow villagers.
