Internalisasi Nilai-nilai Islam dalam budaya wayang kulit di Indonesia

Abstract

Shadow puppet is one of Indonesia's cultural heritages that has rich and complex religious values. In it, there is a process of internalization of Islamic values that has occurred for a long time. This research aims to analyze how Islamic values have been internalized in shadow puppet culture in Indonesia. The research method used in this study is library research with a historical approach as a method of data collection using primary and secondary sources. The data obtained is then analyzed through a qualitative approach to identify Islamic values internalized in shadow puppet stories. The success of the process of spreading Islam on the island of Java cannot be separated from the role of Walisongo who have a big role and share in it. There is one of the nine Walisongo who is famous for having a unique characteristic of preaching. He is Sunan Kalijaga. Sunan Kalijaga in his preaching used cultural acculturation by combining Islamic culture with local culture, without eliminating existing cultural values, one of which was by using puppet media to convey his preaching. This later became one of the important keys to his success in spreading Islam in Java, especially in Demak, Central Java.
