Abstract

This paper aims to explain the history of the development of Islam in Makassar, especially the meaning of the inscriptions at the Katangka Islamic tomb complex. In this case, it will be explained the form and style of the inscription as well as its content and meaning to be able to understand how the process of Islamization was in the past in that area. Archaeological and historical studies are the methods used in this research. As a result, the development of Islam in Gowa (Makassar) shows an acculturation between Islam and local culture. This can be seen from the inscriptions found on the tombs using Arabic letters in Arabic and Makassarese (Serang script) and the shape and style of the inscriptions. The contents and meanings include the self-identity and religious spirit of the person being buried. Generally, those buried in the dome are the Makassar aristocracy. This treatment was a combination of pre-Islamic traditions and Islamic influence which placed the king and his family as a social group that received special treatment from the society.
