This study aims to analyze the Islamic and local cultural values embedded in the Javanese slametan tradition from the perspective of Social Studies education, as an effort to integrate local wisdom with Islamic values in social education in Indonesia. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using a library research method and thematic analysis of various literature sources related to the slametan tradition. The findings indicate that slametan represents a harmonious form of acculturation between Islamic teachings and Javanese culture. Values such as tauhid (oneness of God), gratitude, prayer, and solidarity derived from Islam intertwine with rukun (social harmony), tepa selira (empathy), and gotong royong (mutual cooperation) as essential elements of Javanese cultural identity. The tradition functions not only as a religious ritual but also as a medium for strengthening social solidarity and spiritual awareness within the community. In the context of Social Studies education, slametan is relevant as a contextual learning resource that integrates moral, social, and religious values rooted in local wisdom. Therefore, integrating Islamic and local cultural values into social education can reinforce the formation of students’ moral, cultural, and social character.
