Strengthening character in the development of global culture is needed to deal with the moral crisis that occurs in the younger generation, which is mainly eroded by the life of hedonism. Global culture has a lot of influence on changes to local culture, which is in line with moral decadence. The purpose of this paper is to tie the two dimensions that have been running for a long time in Malay society; on the one hand, they are very important and cannot be separated. The Tunjuk Ajar Malay culture and the Sirah Nabawiyah become a means of integration and implementation of characters that can organise a harmonious life. This research uses a qualitative literature method with data sources of observation, literature review and content analysis of the stanzas of Tunjuk Ajar Malay culture and lessons contained in Sirah Nabawiyah with descriptive character implementation in the community. The integration of Tunjuk Ajar Malay culture and Sirah Nabawiyah in the implementation of character is an acculturation of religious and cultural norms that reflect religiosity. In the practice of behaviour related to character, the realisation of an integration arranges the character of the younger generation in the development of global culture.
