Abstract

The relationship between Islamic teachings and local cultural traditions provides an important context for understanding how religious character is developed within contemporary communities. This study examines how cultural acculturation through Islamic ritual traditions contributes to religious character formation and social cohesion in Tangerang, Indonesia. A qualitative ethnographic design was employed to explore the meanings, practices, and social interactions surrounding syukuran kehamilan, aqiqah, haul, and tahlil. Data were obtained through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and field notes involving religious leaders, community elders, cultural practitioners, neighborhood leaders, and local residents. The data were analyzed through data reduction, coding, thematic categorization, data display, and conclusion drawing, while source and method triangulation, prolonged engagement, and member checking were used to strengthen trustworthiness. The findings indicate that these traditions function not only as religious ceremonies but also as informal spaces for learning and practicing gratitude, responsibility, empathy, generosity, cooperation, and mutual respect. Their repeated participation also facilitates intergenerational transmission of Islamic values, strengthens interpersonal trust and solidarity, and supports harmonious relationships within the multicultural community. The study further develops an initial Community-Based Character Education Model linking Islamic values, cultural acculturation, ritual participation, religious character formation, and social cohesion. These findings highlight the potential of culturally embedded religious traditions as complementary educational resources for sustaining religious character and community harmony.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze teacher strategies in instilling the values of tolerance and diversity at Sekolah Dasar Islam Multi Plus Ar-Rahiim, Kajangan, East Ungaran. In the context of Islamic elementary education, fostering tolerance and respect for differences serves as a fundamental foundation for developing students’ noble character, openness, and appreciation for social and cultural diversity within Indonesia’s multicultural society. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the principal, five teachers, and five students, as well as through classroom observations and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, supported by triangulation techniques to ensure data validity. The findings reveal that teachers implement several strategies to instill tolerance and diversity, including the integration of multicultural values into classroom learning, habituation through extracurricular and religious activities, and modeling exemplary behavior in daily interactions. Furthermore, the supportive school environment and active parental involvement play a crucial role in strengthening the internalization of tolerance among students. The study concludes that value-based multicultural education in Islamic elementary schools can serve as an effective medium for cultivating tolerant attitudes and a love for diversity from an early age. These findings are expected to serve as a model for developing character education grounded in multicultural values in other Islamic elementary schools.
