Abstract

This study aims to analyze the process and forms of acculturation between Islamic values and Lampung traditional wedding traditions, particularly in three core rituals, namely sesan as a dowry, jejuluk as a title award, and manjau as a visit to strengthen ties, and examine their impact on Islamic education. The study uses a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach with data collection methods through literature studies, observations, and in-depth interviews with traditional leaders or penyimbang, religious leaders or ulama, traditional practitioners, and academics in the Saibatin traditional community, Lampung. The results show that acculturation takes place in an integrative and harmonious manner, where Islamic values are internalized in every ritual without losing the essence of local culture, such as sesan which is acculturated with a simplified concept of dowry, jejuluk which is transformed into a symbol of trust and leadership, and manjau which is elevated to a social worship that strengthens ties. This process is supported by the collaboration of the penyimbang authorities and ulama as well as normative harmony between sharia and adat. This acculturation gave birth to a hybrid Muslim-Lampung identity and had a positive impact on Islamic education through enrichment of the curriculum based on local wisdom, integrative learning models, and strengthening of multicultural character education.
