Keywords:
Islamic Communication, Local Cultural Wisdom, Humanistic Education, Islamic Values, CharacterAbstract
The integration of Islamic communication and local cultural wisdom serves as a crucial foundation in developing a humanistic and character-based educational ecosystem. This article aims to analyze the role of Islamic communication in internalizing local cultural values as a strategy to strengthen education oriented toward humanity, spirituality, and morality. Employing a qualitative library research method, this study synthesizes recent literature (2020-2025) on Islamic education, cultural communication, and humanistic pedagogy. The findings reveal that Islamic communication rooted in the principles of tabligh, hikmah, and mau’izhah hasanah is highly relevant in contextualizing Islamic values within Indonesia’s pluralistic local cultures. Cultural wisdom such as mutual cooperation, deliberation, and respect for teachers represents social capital consistent with Qur’anic and Prophetic ethics in shaping learners’ moral behavior. The integration of these dimensions creates a dialogical, inclusive, and participatory model of education, enabling students to develop intellectually, spiritually, and socially. In conclusion, the synergy between Islamic communication and local wisdom reinforces education’s orientation toward civilized humanism, positioning Islamic institutions as centers for cultivating knowledgeable, ethical, and culturally grounded individuals.
