<![CDATA[This study aims to reconstruct an Islamic education model based on the culture of Malay coastal communities along the Strait of Malacca through a synthesis of values, traditions, and Islamic identity. The study is grounded in the understanding that Islamic education within Malay coastal communities takes place not only through formal institutions, but also through families, mosques, customary traditions, socio-religious practices, and value systems embedded in everyday life. This research employs a library research approach using an integrative literature review method. Data were obtained from journal articles, academic books, research reports, and other relevant scholarly sources concerning Islamic education, Malay culture, coastal communities, and the history of Islam in the Strait of Malacca region. The data were analyzed through identification, classification, comparison, interpretation, and conceptual synthesis. The findings indicate that Islamic education based on Malay coastal culture is built upon five main elements: the values of tawhid and adab, the integration of customary traditions with Islamic teachings, the transmission of values through families and communities, religious traditions as educational spaces, and the strengthening of Malay-Islamic identity. These five elements form a contextual, communal, and intergenerational pattern of education. This study proposes a conceptual model that positions Islamic values as the foundation, Malay coastal traditions as the medium, cultural transmission as the mechanism, and Islamic identity as the educational outcome. The model can serve as a framework for developing Islamic education based on local wisdom that remains responsive to social change while preserving the cultural characteristics of Malay coastal communities along the Strait of Malacca.]]>
