The tariqa of Hizib Nahdlatul Wathan (NW) has played a role in social and cultural change in a community. This study explains the role of the Hizib NW tariqa in the construction of social and cultural change during the New Order era in Lombok, Indonesia. This study uses the historical method with four stages: heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The Hizib NW tariqa in Lombok has been a social and cultural identity for its followers throughout New Order history. Hamzanwadi, the founder of the Hizib NW tariqa, uses three paths to build the identity of his followers in social change in Lombok: education, politics, and the ceremonial rituals of the Hizib NW tariqa. The long history of the NW organization and the NW Hizib tariqa during the New Order era gave the people of Lombok a new awareness to build an ideal identity adapted to social and cultural changes. The tariqa of Hizib NW has become a spirit, a source of information, motivation, and an instrument of integration among the people of Lombok. This study can be a reference in understanding the congregation in Lombok and its role in the socio-cultural life of the Lombok people, which helps create a harmonious society.
