Abstract

This study aims to analyze the harmonization of Islamic values and the local wisdom of the Banjar community in South Kalimantan, particularly from the perspective of the Qur'an. The research focuses on the work of Sheikh Muhammad Arsyad Al-Banjari in the book Sabil al-Muhtadin, which serves as a primary reference in resolving tensions between Islamic law and local traditions. The method employed is a literature review with heuristic and hermeneutic approaches to interpret the texts in the book. The results indicate that Sheikh Arsyad successfully integrated local wisdom, such as the use of jamban, burial with tabala, as well as zakat laws and halal food, into the framework of Islamic law with contextual considerations. These findings affirm that Sheikh Arsyad's moderate and adaptive approach not only preserved the authenticity of Islamic teachings but also respected local culture. This research makes a significant contribution to understanding the dynamics of interaction between Islam and local wisdom, as well as its relevance to contemporary Muslim societies.
