Modern Islam and Indonesian Culture; Evolving Rituals and Institutions

In Indonesian culture, Islam is not just a religion but also a system that influences and adapts to local traditions. This study explores the complex relationship between Islam and Indonesian culture, focusing on the roles of rituals and institutions. This research aims to explain Islam and Indonesian culture (Rituals and Institutions). This study employs library research with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection involves sourcing relevant references for this research, such as journal articles, books, and other scientific writings. The data is then analyzed using data reduction, presentation, and conclusion. The results show that Islamic art and culture have significantly contributed to Indonesia's cultural wealth. For example, architectural art with unique forms of mosques, tombs, and other buildings reflects Islamic architectural styles. Calligraphy is also an important part of Islamic art in Indonesia, with beautiful Arabic writings and profound meanings. In preaching, the Walisongo utilized local traditions before Islam, which were then Islamized as long as they did not contradict Islamic law. This aligns with the principles of ushul fiqh.
