Abstract

Purwokerto is known as a city with a distinct cultural identity. Nicknamed the “Ngapak City,” it is characterized by the straightforward and unpretentious dialect of its people, reflecting an open and egalitarian social character. The acculturation between Islam and local culture in this region has given rise to a unique expression of religiosity. Islam did not arrive as a dominating force seeking to replace existing traditions but rather merged harmoniously with long-standing local values. This study aims to explore the dynamics of Islam in Purwokerto using a phenomenological approach to understand religious practices in a deep and holistic manner. The findings reveal that Islam has become an integral part of daily life, evolving through a process of acculturation that fosters diverse yet respectful expressions of faith. At least five typologies of Islamic expression can be identified: Kejawen Islam, Kampung Islam, Sufi Islam (Tarekat), Moderate Islam, and Puritan Islam. This diversity reflects a dynamic and pluralistic face of Islam, yet one that remains harmonious. These typologies represent a contextualized, grounded, and culturally rooted form of Islam in the Ngapak City.

Abstract

The Sangihe Islands, a region on the border between Indonesia and the Philippines, offer an intriguing context for understanding the lives of minority communities, particularly Muslims, in relation to their life satisfaction. This study aims to describe how life satisfaction is experienced by Muslim minorities in Sangihe and how these minorities interpret their lives. The research utilizes ethnographic methods as part of qualitative research with a phenomenological approach to gain a comprehensive understanding of the lived experiences of informants. The findings of this study suggest that the life satisfaction of Muslim minority communities on the Indonesia-Philippines border is not only determined by economic factors but also by the quality of social relationships, diversity, and religious practices.
