The Commemoration of the Haul of Syech KH Chotamarrasyid (also written as Syekh Khotamar Rasyid) is a solemn annual religious event held in Bakit Village, Parittiga District, West Bangka. As a tribute to one of the most prominent pioneers of Islam on Bangka Island, this event serves as a spiritual beacon for thousands of pilgrims who gather to honor his wisdom and missionary legacy. The narrative of the ceremony is woven through communal dhikr, tahlil, and collective prayers for the region's safety, creating an atmosphere that bridges deep spiritual devotion with a strong sense of community. Far more than a mere ceremony, this haul is a crucial moment for preserving the collective memory of Islamic history in Bangka, while reinforcing a religious cultural identity that continues to be passed down through generations.
