The slametan tends to be powerful unifying factor among the Javanese Muslims, acrossing the theological and ideological boundaries among themselves, espesially modernist and tradisionalist Muslims, the most devout (santri) and ominal (abangan) Muslims, and such other segments of the society as shamanistic. Geertz, in this respect, views this ritual as a typical animistic ritualwhich strengthens social solidarity among the Javanese. Nevertheless,Woodward observes it as a pure Islamic ritual at which Arabic prayers are recited and food is offered to the Prophet Muhammad, saints and ancestors, who are implored to shower blessings on the community.
