dc.description.abstract | The identity of community groups is always
present in various forms. Those who belong in the middle-class
Muslim community form their piety identity differently from
others outside the community. This article states that the middleclass
Muslim practices various activities such as studying of Holy
Qur'an, sacrificing animals during Eid al-Adha, infaq and
sadaqah, as well as the going to hajj and umrah. These activities
contain motivational values in creating an identity among
Muslims. The Muslim communities at Alam Citra Residence, as
a middle-class Muslim community, are 'extraordinary'
compared to its surrounding poor community members in terms
of religious activities and their lives. Their attributes and goals
showed a lot of differences from those who were not middle-class
Muslim. The researchers applied qualitative research, including
interview, literature review, and field observations. Then, the
data were analyzed using a sociology-anthropological approach
to explain the data found during the investigation. | en_US |
