Abstract

The acculturation of Islam and local culture in Indonesia is a process of integration between Islamic teachings and long-standing customs in the archipelago. Islam, which arrived through trade, preaching, and cultural interactions with regions such as Arabia, India, and Persia, underwent adaptation to local traditions and customs. This process gave rise to a unique cultural expression reflected in various aspects, such as art, architecture, language, customs, and rituals. Traditions like wayang, gamelan, and the celebration of the Prophet Muhammad's Birthday (Maulid) exemplify the harmonious fusion between local elements and Islamic teachings. Furthermore, this phenomenon demonstrates that Islam in Indonesia developed with inclusivity and tolerance, without negating indigenous traditions. This study highlights how acculturation has been instrumental in shaping the pluralistic Islamic cultural identity of Indonesia, rooted in Islamic values.
