This article discusses acculturation of Islam and local culture in Indonesia which is focused on three main issues, namely 1) the form of acculturation of Islam and local culture; 2) the process of acculturation of Islam and local culture; and 3) the implications of acculturation of Islam and local culture towards the Islamic understanding of the ummah in Indonesia. This type of research is library research whose data are collected through documentation and analyzed using content analysis method. The results showed that acculturation of Islam and local culture was seen in traditional ceremonies, arts and architecture, and community value systems.

Acculturation of Islam and local culture in Indonesia resulted in the practice of local Islam which had implications for the emergence of three Islamic ideologies, namely traditionalist Islam, modernist Islam, and puritanical Islam. This study has implications for the teachings of Islam containing complete civilization, so it is necessary to do the Islamization of culture in the practice of local Islam in order to maintain the purity of Islamic teachings without losing the element of local culture. The philosophical meaning in the ritual symbols of traditional ceremonies must be interpreted according to Islam. This is an effort to purify the faith while accommodating local culture.

This study discusses the integration of Islamic education and local culture in the Lebaran Topat tradition in the Lombok community. Lebaran Topat is a tradition carried out by the Sasak community, especially those in the West Lombok and Central Lombok areas, as a celebration after carrying out the six-day sunnah fast in the month of Syawal. This tradition is not only full of religious nuances, but also thick with local cultural values that have been passed down from generation to generation. The main objective of this study is to find out how Islamic education values are integrated into local cultural practices, and how people interpret these traditions in their social and spiritual lives. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews with 5 religious figures, 10 people from both men and women and 10 young people. The observations made by the researcher are related to the process of lebaran topat starting from making topat in their respective homes, takbiran and roah lebaran in musholla and mosques, pilgrimages to graves and holidays in several tourist attractions such as the beach. This study states that the Lebaran Topat culture in Lombok has several series of activities such as takbiran, making ketupat, dhikr, holidays and grave pilgrimages. The integration of Islamic education and local culture in Ketupat Eid is spiritual education (tarbiyah ruhiyah), faith education (tarbiyah aqadiyyah), physical education (tarbiyah al-badaniyyah), social education (tarbiyah ijtima'iyah) and moral education (tarbiyah akhlaqiyah). Thus, Topat Eid becomes an effective medium in conveying Islamic values contextually, while strengthening the sense of togetherness and local cultural identity. This integration proves that Islamic education does not have to be in conflict with local culture, but can actually run in harmony in forming the character of a religious and cultured society.

Islam-based Early Childhood Education (PAUD) plays a crucial role in shaping children's character and identity by integrating Islamic values with local culture. This study aims to analyze how Islamic values and local culture are incorporated into the PAUD curriculum, identify implementation strategies, and examine the challenges and opportunities involved. Additionally, it explores the impact of this integration on children's character and identity development while providing recommendations for educators and policymakers to enhance the effectiveness of Islam-based early childhood education. This research employs a literature study method, analyzing various sources related to the PAUD curriculum, Islamic values, and local culture. The data analysis approach includes data reduction, classification, and interpretation. The findings indicate that integrating Islamic values such as tawhid, noble character, and worship with local cultural values such as community cooperation (gotong royong), love for the homeland, and mutual respect can create a holistic and contextual curriculum. This curriculum not only supports children's intellectual development but also fosters strong character and a deep sense of identity. However, challenges arise in aligning local cultural values with Islamic teachings and addressing resource limitations, particularly among educators who may not fully grasp the concept of this integration. Despite these challenges, the integration of Islamic values and local culture positively impacts children's character development and strengthens community participation in the educational process. To address these challenges, this study recommends developing a more flexible curriculum and enhancing educator capacity. These efforts will contribute to producing a generation that is intelligent, of noble character, and deeply rooted in its cultural identity.

This study aims to critically examine the integration of Sasak local cultural values into the Civic Education curriculum as a pedagogical strategy to foster students’ multicultural awareness at State Junior High School 1 Aikmel, East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. The local culture of the Sasak was selected due to its rich philosophical values that reflect social, religious, economic, aesthetic, political, and power dimensions making it highly relevant to character education. A descriptive qualitative method with an ethnographic approach was employed.

The findings reveal that local cultural values embedded in traditions such as srakala (birth ritual), besiru (social cooperation), drum beleq (traditional music), teacher (leadership figure), and paresean (symbol of strength and courage) can be contextually integrated into Civic Education materials. This integration makes learning more innovative, relevant, and meaningful, enabling students to grasp civic concepts in practical and experiential ways. Moreover, the approach cultivates students' character, particularly in tolerance, mutual respect, and openness toward cultural diversity. Learning grounded in local cultural values also enhances students’ active participation and nurtures democratic and inclusive classroom dialogue. In conclusion, integrating local cultural values into Civic Education is a strategic and innovative effort that not only builds multicultural awareness but also reinforces local identity and improves the quality of character education in a pluralistic and dynamic society.
