<![CDATA[This research, titled “Islamic Universalism and Local Islam,” aims to analyze the relationship between the universal values of Islam and the expressions of local Islam that develop within the cultural context of society. The main focus of this study is to understand how Islam, as a universal religion, interacts with local cultures without losing its core principles such as tawhid (monotheism), justice, equality, and rahmah (compassion). The research method used is library research with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through the analysis of academic literature, scholarly journal articles, and other relevant scientific works. The analysis technique employed is content analysis, used to examine the relationship between universal Islamic values and their manifestations in local religious traditions. The findings indicate that Islamic universalism and local Islam are not opposing concepts but rather complementary ones. Islamic universalism provides an inclusive ethical and spiritual foundation, while local Islam reflects the contextual application of Islamic teachings within specific cultural settings. The integration of both creates a form of religiosity that is moderate, adaptive, and harmonious, making it relevant to the pluralistic society of the modern era.]]>
