P013 ISLAM DAN KEBUDAYAAN MADURA: TRADISI ROKAT TASE' SEBAGAI WUJUD AKULTURASI AGAMA DAN BUDAYA

Abstract

The Rokat Tase' tradition represents one of the most visible manifestations of the acculturation process between Islamic values and the local culture of the Madurese people. As a sea thanksgiving ritual passed down through generations, Rokat Tase' functions not only as a spiritual expression of the fishing community but also as a social space that reinforces solidarity among its members. This article aims to examine how Islam and Madurese culture meet and merge within the practice of Rokat Tase', while analyzing the acculturation process that occurs without diminishing the identity of each cultural element. Employing a qualitative approach and the perspective of cultural anthropology, this study finds that Rokat Tase' is a product of harmonious acculturation, in which Islamic values of monotheism, prayer, and gratitude are integrated into the local customary rites of Madura. This process reflects Islam's flexibility in engaging with local traditions and demonstrates that Madurese culture possesses a strong adaptive capacity toward religious influence. The findings suggest that Rokat Tase' is not merely a cultural heritage, but a living symbol of the successful, peaceful, and sustainable acculturation of religion and culture within Madurese society.
