Abstract

Oral tradition plays a crucial role in maintaining the cultural identity, religious values, and social norms of the Muslim community in the riverbanks of Kota Kapuas, Central Kalimantan. This tradition encompasses ritual processes such as the provision of water containers and traditional utensils, which are passed down through generations through collective memory and verbal practices. This research is a field research study, employing ethnographic and hermeneutic approaches, involving direct observation, in-depth interviews, and visual documentation as analytical materials with four traditional practitioners and religious figures/traditional elders as informants. Data were analyzed through symbolic and contextual interpretation, with source triangulation to ensure validity. The findings indicate that oral tradition serves as a means of transmitting values, norms, and collective identity, as well as a space for cultural negotiation within the framework of the acculturation of Islam and local culture. This tradition also serves as an important source of oral history because many customary practices are not recorded in written manuscripts, but are instead passed down orally through the community's collective memory. Thus, oral ritual tradition not only preserves cultural richness but also enriches insight into the dynamics of changing social and religious identities in the riverbanks of Kota Kuala Kapuas.

Abstract

Background: The integration of local wisdom in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) is an important issue in the context of a multiethnic society so that religious learning is not merely normative, but also contextual to the socio-cultural realities of students. Various studies have made important contributions in examining the integration of local wisdom in Islamic Religious Education learning at the elementary and secondary levels of education, while studies on the practice of such integration in the context of multiethnic universities still open up wider scope for study. Purpose of the Study: This article aims to analyze the form and process of integration of local wisdom values ​​of the Dayak, Banjarese, and Javanese ethnic groups in PAI learning at the Sekolah tinggi Agama Islam Kuala Kapuas and identify its implications for students' religious understanding. Methods: The study used a qualitative approach with a multiethnic case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies of five informants consisting of PAI lecturers, students, academic leaders, and community leaders with purposive sampling techniques, then analyzed using an interactive analysis model. Results: The results indicate that the integration of local wisdom is carried out through linking the concepts of Islamic teachings (PAI) with local cultural values, such as the philosophy of Huma Betang, the value of togetherness (baimbai), and the ethics of politeness in the learning process. Findings from interviews with five participants show that these principles serve as a meeting point for shared cultural understanding ​​that strengthen inclusive and moderate religious understanding in a multi-ethnic university environment. Conclusions: The pluralist-assimilationist approach empowers students not only to preserve their original cultural identity but also to assimilate Islamic culture in achieving an effective and sustainable multicultural education paradigm.
