This study aims to analyze the role of the tradition of the Prophet Muhammad's Mawlid as a contextual and inclusive medium for character education in Indonesian multicultural society. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature study method, analyzed through content and thematic analysis techniques. The results show that Mawlid is a form of acculturation between Islam and Nusantara culture, rich in educational values such as religiosity, tolerance, and mutual cooperation.

The research concludes by underlining that Mawlid is a living tradition relevant for strengthening national character, with significant implications for the development of character education and national cultural policies based on local wisdom.]]>
