Abstract

This research was a descriptive qualitative study aiming to describe the values of Islamic education within the tradition of Kokaria community in Wadaga District, located in Muna, a regency of Southeast Sulawesi. The result suggests that Kokaria tradition is one of the indigenous customs that has unique characteristics to educate the teachings of Islam to young Muslims, namely by confinement for four days and four nights or more. In confinement, the participants of Kokaria are educated and taught moral values and ethics to be able to adapt later to the society where they live. The steps of Kokaria ceremonial procession includes Kaghombo (to hide in a closed room), Katoba (to listen to advises) and Linda (to dance). Linda is the last procession performed by the Kokaria participants after going through the process of Kaghombo and Katoba, as a proof of successful completion of Kokaria traditional ceremony. The values of Islamic education in Kokaria tradition comprised the value of faith, honesty, and patience. The Islamic Education in Kokaria tradition is elaborated through examples and advice.
