This study examines the transformation and repositioning of Arabic oral traditions during the early prophetic era of Islam. While pre-Islamic Arabian society relied heavily on oral mediums like poetry (asy-syi’r) and rhetoric (al-khitabah) as instruments for tribal pride (ashabiyah) and political conflict, the advent of Islam introduced a radical shift. Previous scholarships often view the Islamic perspective on art dichotomously, assuming a total rejection based on scriptural critiques of poets. This research addresses this gap by analyzing the prophetic approach to local culture through a socio-historical and philological-textual lens. Utilizing a qualitative library research method, data were gathered from classical sources, including the Quran, Hadith, and Al-Suyuthi’s Al-Itqan. The findings demonstrate that Prophet Muhammad SAW did not implement cultural annihilation; instead, he initiated cultural sublimation and selective acculturation. Islam neutralized the axiological value of oral arts, redirecting poetry through Muslim companions like Hassan bin Tsabit to defend the dawah, transforming political oratory into integrative religious sermons (khutbah), and utilizing the strong Arab auditory memory for Quranic preservation. This study concludes that early Islam exhibited an inclusive character toward local traditions, purifying and aligning them with monotheistic principles and universal humanism.
