Abstract

The tendency to understand old texts by studying classical books has increased, especially in studying the book about Marriage. It is due to the awareness that researching ancient studying texts will get something precious and essential. Research should be done on these texts so that older people's work is not faded and forgotten. Besides, this research was conducted not to go beyond the ability and success of the author nor to go back (to the age of camels). In contrast, we are now in the millennial generation, but at least the old texts can be used as a reference to breaking through a collective and static mindset to a progressive and dynamic ethos of mind. This research was library research by conducting research and studies on the manuscript Kitab an-Nikah by Sheikh Muhammad Arsyad al-Banjari and the thoughts contained in the manuscript. The book is one of the old texts written in Arabic Malay. From the results of the study, it is known that the discussion is about the guardianship in Marriage, Ijab Kabul, and kafa 'ah in Kitab an-Nikah turned out to be very influential on the Marriage in Banjar community both in the past and in the present, as well as being a reference for the leaders as a guide to the technical implementation in Marriage.
