INTERNALIZATION OF ISLAMIC VALUES IN THE TAMMU TAUNGANNA SAMPULUNGAN FOLK FESTIVAL TRADITION IN TAKALAR REGENCY

Abstract

This study aims to explain the internalization of Islamic values​​in the Tammu Taunganna Sampulungan tradition as a form of cultural acculturation in an agrarian society in South Sulawesi. This study is motivated by the dynamics of interaction between customs and religion that shape local ritual practices. Using a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design, through historical and anthropological approaches. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and literature studies. The results show that the Tammu Taunganna tradition consists of a series of rituals that combine elements of ancestral customs with Islamic values​​through a process of symbolic reinterpretation. The determination of the day of implementation, the prayer procession, grave pilgrimage, the use of Bunbung Baraniya water, and the appaddekko performance illustrates the integration of the values​​of gratitude, prayer, almsgiving, friendship, and mutual cooperation. The changing meanings of symbols and ritual practices reflect the dynamics of active and selective acculturation. This tradition serves to maintain social cohesion, strengthen cultural identity, and uphold religious values​​of the Sampulungan community. This study concludes that Tammu Taunganna is a vibrant and adaptive form of Islamic acculturation, affirming the harmonious relationship between religion and culture. Implications of this study include the importance of preserving local traditions as part of the heritage of Islamic civilization in the Indonesian archipelago, as well as the need for further research on generational dynamics and comparisons of agrarian traditions across regions.
