Abstract

Lasi, which is in Agam Regency, West Sumatra Province, is an area rich in Islamic culture and traditions. One of the Islamic traditions there is the recitation of death. The tradition of reciting the Qur’an for death is a practice that combines elements of the Islamic religion with local cultural values. This research aims to determine the integration of Islam and local culture manifested in the practice of reciting the Qur’an for death in the Lasi community. The research method used in this research is a field research method that uses a qualitative approach by conducting in-depth interviews with members of the Lasi community who are involved in the tradition of reciting the Qur’an for death. Direct observations were also carried out to understand the implementation of this practice. Qualitative data was carefully analyzed to identify patterns of integration between Islamic religion and local culture in the context of the Qur’an for death. The results of this research reveal that the tradition of reciting the Qur’an for death in Lasi, Agam Regency, reflects close integration between the Islamic religion and local culture. The use of local languages in this tradition strengthens the community's cultural identity, while Islamic religious messages are also maintained. This tradition also plays a role in maintaining Lasi cultural values, connecting the younger generation to their cultural heritage, and strengthening community ties. This integration has helped maintain harmony between religion and culture, creating a model that can serve as an example for efforts to preserve culture and religion in an increasingly globalized society.

Abstract

This research explores the potential of religious education as a key to forming an inclusive, just and empowered civil society. Involving a holistic approach with qualitative research methods, the findings highlight that religious education should not only focus on the transfer of religious knowledge but should also stimulate students' critical thinking and active participation. The concept of inclusivity was identified as a crucial foundation, with recognition and respect for diversity of beliefs as an important element. The goal is to create a social climate that supports harmony and mutual understanding in a diverse society. The results of this research have significant implications for designing educational policies that integrate the values of inclusivity and active participation into religious curricula. Teachers are identified as key players and need to be empowered as dialogue facilitators who are able to guide students in a deep learning process. Teacher training programs are also proposed to ensure that the values of inclusivity and appreciation of differences are effectively integrated into religious education. By combining these concepts, this research builds a solid foundation for civil society. Holistic and inclusive religious education is considered a catalyst for positive change, opening the door to a just, harmonious and empowered society. By making religious education the main pillar, efforts to form civil society can be more focused and sustainable.
