| Summary: | The article describes the success of the minority life of the Javanese-Indonesian Muslim
community in Sathorn Bangkok, Thailand. The main problem that is the focus of the
discussion in this paper is how are the dynamics, challenges, struggles, and lives of the
Javanese Muslim community in the fields of religion, politics, culture, and economy still
survive today. This study of the life of the Muslim community of Javanese descent is
using qualitative field research methods with the interview, observation, and
documentation data collection techniques. The framework and approach used in this
paper are to integrate and combine the sociology of knowledge, Islam, and Javanese
culture. While the analysis used in this study is fiqh at-ta'ayusy (coexistence) an
analytical method using the perspective of respecting equality, mutual respect, living
in peace, and living side by side as fellow Thai citizens. This coexistence and equality
cover the fields of religious life, education, culture, economy, politics, and culture. The
results of the study in this paper indicate that the success of the Javanese Muslim
minority diaspora community in religious, political, cultural, and economic aspects in
Kampung Jawa in Bangkok Thailand is due to their ability to adapt, live peacefully, in
harmony with the Thai community, especially in Sathorn. The success of the struggle
and the life of the Muslim community is inspired by Islamic values such as inclusiveness,
and respect for others, and Javanese cultural values as their heritage values, such as
being polite, tolerant, and adaptive. |
