Abstract

This article concerns how Muslim minority communities in New York sustain their religious identity within a multicultural democratic society. The existence of the current scholarship covers identity formation and negotiation; however, the underlying mechanisms to ensure long-term continuity remain insufficiently explored. Utilizing Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological framework of habitus, capital, and field, this study introduces the original concept of Faith Capital. The design uses qualitative-dominant mixed methods, including structured questionnaires administered to 21 Muslim participants in New York City. The results show that Muslim identity is formed by daily religious practice, maintained by social, cultural, and symbolic capital, and negotiated in a variety of urban social domains, with Faith Capital serving as its primary anchor. Additionally, this study adds to the Bourdieusian framework by emphasizing the lived spiritual resilience of minority communities and presents Faith Capital as an essential analytical construct for understanding the sustainability of minority religious identity within American studies and the sociology of religion.
