Abstract

This research examines the integration of Islamic values with the local wisdom of the Orang Rimba indigenous community as a model of character education in the framework of Islamic Nusantara. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the study employs literature review and textual analysis of Gunawan Ikhtiono's work, supported by secondary field data. The findings reveal that Islamic values—such as honesty, responsibility, simplicity, and compassion—align with Orang Rimba's life principles: self-awareness, adherence to custom, and harmony with nature. The synergy between Islam and local culture provides a strong foundation for strengthening national character education in line with the rahmatan lil 'alamin concept. This research highlights the significance of revitalizing Islamic-based local culture to create morally grounded, contextually aware, and culturally rooted generations.
