 It is my ton birthday i.e netu, in Java culture if the child was born, He/she has a weton. Such as: legi, pahing, pon, wage and kliwon. So, approximately every 40 days, people in Java celebrate his/her birthday with syukuran i.e thankgiving, giving the neighbor usually bubur abang(the red porridge). One of the lesson from the Java culture is their spirit to give an alms the other, I appreciate it. Islam also teach it. When we give other person, who is happy? Actually, we are happy, who gave it.
But I didn't like with the itung”an weton i.e belief the counting of weton, it is disapprove in contradiction to my research. I try to learn the counting of weton, in addition. How it could be cancel the married whose it has prepared because of this, weton counting. From the elders person (sesepuh). It is cancelled because she prohibited to marry the man who the direction from west-ward or east-ward, or she forbidden to marry the man whom his weton contradiction with her weton. How could it be? From the story the elders person just now, if the people doesn't do that from the itung”an like that, he/she will die or will happen calamity. How could it be? Insensibly we have considered Allah as an ally
The prophet Muhammad SAW from my Islamic books i.e kitab, I never found about it, it just the lesson from the Javanese culture, it’s said Kejawen. One time, I was asked by the people about it, he is looking for the couple of his life. Because that, I try to help him, I gave him the prayer(do’a)  from my priest and I remember it. After that, we debate. Exactly I dislike a debate. Debate want to win, just it. It doesn't solve the problem. He asked, asked about weton. In short, it’s the time tauhid(belief the god, Allah) broken. Who is the lord the entire of the universe? Who is the owner our breathe, our soul, our eyes, our heart, our mind, even our destiny. Ya the answer is Allah. So why it can be prohibited, whereas Allah is not prohibit that. Islam never teach about that, although in Islam there is an astronomy knowledge i.eFalak, it is about the counting for the time of prayer, count hilal, lunar eclipse etc.
The final conclusion is Allah who adjust everything, the owner of the whole world. Allah has created our destiny, our couple, our life and our die. Be careful to keep our believing to Allah, because many things can broke our belief (iman), and make us be an infidel..[1]
