The tradition of nyumbang in Ulujami shows a strong sense of mutual trust and cooperation between givers and recipients. Trust is a type of trust that people have in each other when interacting with each other in activities based on bonds of brotherhood, mutual giving, and mutual agreement with the aim of producing moral and material benefits for both parties. The Ulujami community has various types of celebrations, including circumcisions, weddings, house building, and even recitation of the Koran. They also carry out a tradition of donating called "potangan" which means bequeathing some of their wealth in the hope that it will be returned during future celebrations. With this phenomenon, how Islam responds to the phenomenon of the cutting system is through the tradition of contributing to the Ulujami.
