This study aims to examine the internalization of Islamic values in the Megengan tradition as a medium for strengthening the spiritual life of the community in Gesikharjo Village, Palang District, Tuban Regency. This research employs a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the Megengan tradition contains a process of value internalization through stages of transformation, transaction, and transinternalization, involving religious leaders, community leaders, and active community participation. The internalized values include sincerity, Islamic brotherhood (ukhuwah Islamiyah), social concern, and gratitude, manifested in collective prayers, tahlil, and food sharing. The discussion highlights that this tradition remains relevant amid modernization as a form of non-formal education and spiritual identity reinforcement. Therefore, the integration of Islamic values and local wisdom proves to be effective in fostering sustainable spiritual character.
