THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JAMAAH TABLIGH AND URBAN COMMUNITIES
Abstract
This study examines the factors driving religious transformation among the Jamaah Tabligh and the forms of transformation occurring in the city of Palopo. This study employs a qualitative method with phenomenological and sociological approaches. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis involving members of the Jamaah Tabligh and the community of Palopo City. The data were analyzed through the processes of reduction, categorization, and interpretation. The results indicate that the religious transformation of the Jamaah Tabligh is influenced by urban social changes, the progression of globalization, and the strengthening of internal structures through deliberation. This transformation is evident in the increasing internalization of religious values among members from diverse social backgrounds and professions, as well as in the integration of da’wah activities with their social and professional roles. This study also found that the Jamaah Tabligh has been able to maintain its existence by adapting to the dynamics of urban society without abandoning the fundamental principles of its movement. Despite facing criticism regarding the da’wah methods employed, the Jamaah Tabligh continues to play a role in fostering religious morality, strengthening social solidarity, and fulfilling the spiritual needs of the community in Palopo City.
