Abstract

The Larung Sesaji or Sedekah Laut tradition is one expression of local wisdom among coastal communities in Indonesia, embodying values of gratitude, social solidarity, and ecological spirituality. This study aims to examine how this tradition represents a form of syncretism between Islamic teachings and local culture within the context of coastal society. Employing a literature review (library research) method, the study explores various up-to-date academic sources that discuss the dialectical relationship between Islamic law, cultural anthropology, and the sociology of religion. The findings indicate that Larung Sesaji has undergone a process of religious reinterpretation through the living Islam approach, in which traditional elements considered problematic are reconstructed into symbols of gratitude and charitable giving (sedekah) aligned with the values of tawhid. This tradition also serves significant social functions, including fostering social cohesion, strengthening cultural identity, and promoting environmental awareness. The syncretism observed is not a form of deviation, but rather an adaptive strategy employed by the community to maintain harmony between faith and custom. Thus, Larung Sesaji reflects a contextual practice of Islam Nusantara that is deeply rooted in the cultural wisdom of coastal communities.
