Cultural Harmony between Islam and Local Traditions of Caramseguguk in Rengas Payaraman Ogan Ilir Indonesia

Abstract

Islam as a religion which teaches various aspects of normative and humanities must undergo a process of acceptance and rejection in society. Otherwise, traditions of a particular community identity also endure a process of eclectic adjustment along with Islamic teachings. It proves that Islam is not only understood as a doctrine but also as a result of interaction among cultural values, norms and morals that are present in the forms of religious practices that tolerate local values. The meeting of Islamic values and local traditions has maintained and formed Islam narrated activities as a form of internalisation of the teachings and behaviour. Such as Caramseguguk tradition in South Sumatera, that is the result of the harmonisation encountered between Islam and local traditions in everyday behaviour.
