Role of Majelis Taklim and Adaptation Muslim Minority with Tengger Local Culture

Abstract

The variety of traditional ceremonies or local cultures that flourish in the Tengger region often creates a dilemma for the Muslim minorities living in this area. Therefore, the existence of Majelis Taklim as a non-formal Islamic educational institution has an important role in the process of socialization and acculturation to bring Tengger Muslims into a cultured cultural life, as well as to maintain the continuity of existence of Tengger Muslim minority in order to survive in the Hindu majority society. Majelis Taklim is a place to increase religious knowledge and develop religious life. Therefore, the focus of the study in this paper is the role of the Majelis Taklim in shaping the adaptation behavior of the Tenggerese Muslim community with the local culture and the adaptation of Tengger Muslim society with local culture. Using the ethnographic approach and Merton anomie theory, the author tries to reveal the empirical facts of Muslim minority behavior in the Tengger region of Pasuruan regency.
