Dakwah Kultural Berbasis Kearifan Lokal Pada Tradisi Sedekah Bedusun Di Desa Pagar Agung Kabupaten Muara Enim

Abstract

Indonesia's cultural diversity provides significant opportunities for developing contextual Islamic da'wah through local wisdom. One tradition that reflects the integration of Islamic values and local culture is the Sedekah Bedusun tradition practiced by the people of Pagar Agung Village, Muara Enim Regency. This study aims to analyze the implementation of cultural da'wah based on local wisdom and identify the Islamic values embedded within the Sedekah Bedusun tradition. This research employed a qualitative approach with ethnographic and phenomenological perspectives. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving religious leaders, traditional leaders, village officials, and community members. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that Sedekah Bedusun functions as an effective medium of cultural da'wah by integrating Islamic teachings into local traditions through collective prayers, Qur'anic recitation, remembrance (dhikr), and communal meals. The tradition embodies Islamic values of aqidah, sharia, and akhlaq, while simultaneously strengthening social solidarity, mutual cooperation, and community cohesion. The study concludes that local wisdom can serve as an adaptive and contextual strategy for Islamic da'wah, enabling religious messages to be accepted without eliminating local cultural identity.
