Their main livelihood as traders or businessmen, they are followers of Islam are relatively puritanical with the central figure Sunan Kudus. Social bond between them was strong and somewhat closed to the outside masyarat. Cultural character of the community is reflected in the environmental proxies. Both the scale house, group home or environment. As Rapoport said that the house as a primary element of the settlement is the result of a community that works together in a very physical expression of social factors influenced the culture of the community (Rapoport, 1963). Display of traditional architecture of the Kudus perhaps is one of the interesting custom in Indonesia, the pattern of group homes with unique orientation and achievement, as well as the existence of the mosque as a center of activity.

Teachings of the Sunan Kudus relatively more puritanical with activities forbidden mystical and envious. Among the people of the Kudus Kulon never at all organized activities deemed leather puppet incorporate many elements of Hindu and belief. While the puppet is a powerful tool for Sunan Kalijaga to spread the teachings of Islam.

Hajj degree is a degree is a dream of every respectable Muslim scholars in the Kudus Haj over again. Hajj peaks embodiment implementation pillars of Islam while Kiai represents the high immunization of human beings to be carried on each other. In society there is a Kudus Jigang expression which is short of the Koran (Koran) and trade (trade). Koran is read, learn and study the Koran, a charity that leads to the glory of life in the Hereafter (Ukhrowi). Koran also implies the primacy of a Muslim in studying science. Trade is a practice that leads to the glory of living in the world, with regard to the relationship between man and his neighbor. For Muslims there should be a balance between the goals and objectives in the world hereafter.

This attitude has made them militants, closed and less like a government official. They become independent traders, with frugal living, clever and deftly makes them a great opportunity to become rich people. Their closure to the outside community as well based on their suspicion that outsiders will be eyeing their property.
