This study aims to explore the Islamic educational values embedded in the ziarah kubur (grave visitation) tradition practiced by the community of Tanjung Menang Musi Village, Rantau Bayur District, Banyuasin Regency. This tradition is not merely a religious ritual but also serves as a medium of social and spiritual learning that contributes to the moral and character formation of the community. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The findings reveal four main dimensions of Islamic educational values within the ziarah kubur tradition: (1) the religious dimension, which cultivates faith in Allah and awareness of mortality; (2) the moral and ethical dimension, which fosters humility, sincerity, and respect for ancestors; (3) the socio-educational dimension, which strengthens brotherhood, cooperation, and social responsibility; and (4) the internalization dimension, which transforms these values into daily religious and communal practices. These results affirm that local Islamic traditions can serve as effective forms of non-formal Islamic education, consistent with Albert Bandura’s social learning theory and Thomas Lickona’s character education theory. Thus, the ziarah kubur tradition functions as a form of cultural da’wah that integrates spiritual, moral, and social aspects within the framework of Islamic education in the community.
