The study was conducted using a qualitative paradigm, which was taken by a descriptive single case study. The data were collected from informants, places and events and documents/archives or literature. Data validity used was data triangulation. Data were analyzed by using pragmatic analysis model. The findings based on the theory of pragmatics who studied Islam and Javanese culture in the song manuscript Sinom perform some speech acts: (1) suggestion (to order) to imitate good attitude, (2) request (to invite) for humans to imitate the heroes and to be concerned and to fast, (3) permissive (to state), for example, human life must have three cases namely the noble character, wealth, and intelligence. If the three are absent, the meaning that life as a meaningless in society. The implicature and the pragmatic for the society is necessary for someone to accept exemplary, not to be wasteful, to be polite to others, to donate, and to keep up to date.
