Abstract
The purpose of writing this article is to understand the traces of Islamic acculturation in North Bali through the Jami Singaraja Mosque and its role in the religious dynamics in Bali. It should be noted that acculturation in North Bali is influenced by several factors, namely historical factors that state that acculturation occurred during the Dutch colonial period to establish Singaraja as an administrative center. The research method for this article uses a qualitative descriptive approach, with the research location in Singaraja. The data was obtained through field observations, interviews with informants, and document studies. The determination of informants used purposive sampling techniques. The results of this research indicate that Masjid Jami Singaraja serves not only as a place of worship, but also as an important symbol of cultural and religious acculturation in North Bali, as evidenced by the mosque's combination of Islamic and traditional Balinese elements. The role of the mosque demonstrates tolerance and harmony among religious communities, and the interaction between the Muslim community in Bali and the wider society is interconnected. The conclusion of this article is that the Jami Grand Mosque is an important mosque in North Bali, which introduces culture and tolerance between religious communities. This is evidenced by the various activities carried out around the mosque which is considered a social center.
