<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the role of the Meugang tradition in strengthening social solidarity among the Acehnese people and to conceptualize its relevance as a local wisdom-based Social Sciences (IPS) learning instrument. The research method used is a comprehensive library research study, by collecting, reducing, and critically analyzing data from various history and sociology textbooks, as well as reputable scientific journals. The results of the study indicate that the Meugang tradition is not merely a ritual of meat consumption before Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha, but rather an established social institution that integrates Islamic religiosity, food security, and communal philanthropy. The dynamics of modernization, market capitalization, and the surge in meat commodity prices pose real structural challenges, but local mechanisms such as meuripee (group contributions) and meuraseuki (sharing of fortune) have proven capable of reducing potential conflict and social class disintegration. The novelty of this research lies in the philosophical reconstruction of the Meugang tradition into the IPS learning curriculum through a prophetic sociology approach. This tradition is transformed from a mere cultural ritual into an applicable pedagogical material to foster the values of organic solidarity, social empathy, and collective awareness of students in the era of digital disruption and modern individualism.]]>
