Abstract

Wayang Golek Purwa is one of the living cultures that have existed in West Java. This art is usually performed by a dalang accompanied by certain gamelan. Initially, in this Wayang Golek a dalang would perform a story of Mahabharata or Ramayana coming from Hinduism from India, however in the recent time a dalang will elaborate their performance using local wisdom and Islamic teaching. This Wayang Golek Purwa, beside as the cultural show, can play as the media to disseminate moderate Islam. This article concerns on this topic for these reasons; there are many da’wa that ignore the principles of Islam like hating and disrespecting others which can lead to conflict. Therefore, using culture and art to spread religious teaching is a way to create harmony among believers. In addition, da’wa with the local culture had been done by previous preachers during the early history of Islam in Java, thus this can be recognized as the continuation of such da’wa. This article was written based on the qualitative research conducted in Bandung West Java. Data were gathered using these methods; interviews, observation and library research. Finding of this study shows that Wayang Golek Purwa contained many moderate Islamic teaching and various important values such as respecting others, live as the media of learning, equity among human beings, commemoration of state independences by doing a good deed, caring and helping people in need, spread the good deeds and avoid the bad deeds, as well as other valuable principles.
