Abstract

The erosion of cultural identity among Generation Z necessitates an innovative approach to character education through the recontextualization of local wisdom. This study aims to analyze the integration of moral and cultural values within the song "Zapin Melayu," a modern adaptation performed by Lesti Kejora, and evaluates its relevance as a pedagogical medium for character formation in contemporary education. Employing a qualitative descriptive design with content analysis, this research examines lyrical narratives and historical archives to interpret latent didactic messages. The findings reveal that "Zapin Melayu" serves as a sophisticated synthesis of Islamic theological principles and indigenous Malay ethics, encompassing themes of sincerity (ikhlas), social decorum (adab), and collective harmony. The results demonstrate that through its "dynamic packaging," this modern iteration successfully preserves the ontological essence of traditional art while resonating with modern musical sensibilities. Consequently, the song functions not merely as aesthetic entertainment but as a critical ethno-pedagogical tool that fosters spiritual awareness and social solidarity. This study concludes that the revitalization of traditional arts through contemporary media is imperative for fortifying national identity and internalizing akhlaqul karimah amidst the pressures of global homogenization.

Abstract

This study examines the core Islamic educational values embedded within Hikayat Si Miskin, a canonical Malay literary work rich in moral, religious, and cultural symbolism, while analyzing its contemporary relevance to the integration of religion, culture, and pedagogy. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach through content analysis and a comprehensive literature review on scientific integration, the research identifies three pivotal dimensions of Islamic educational values: theological values (aqidah) manifested through tawakal, prayer, and gratitude; ethical values (akhlaq) evidenced by patience, sincerity, and self-improvement; and social values characterized by altruism, justice, and communal solidarity. These findings reveal a sophisticated synthesis of Islamic doctrine and Malay local wisdom, reflecting a life philosophy rooted in faith and morality. In the context of modern education, these values provide a robust framework for strengthening faith-based character development, designing culture-centric curricula, and establishing a holistic, contextual Islamic educational paradigm. Consequently, Hikayat Si Miskin transcends its literary status to serve as a vital instrument for reinforcing character and fostering the integration of religious and cultural identities within the contemporary educational landscape.
