Abstract

Identity is the basic principle of the society. The search for identity and effort to build and defend identity is the fundamental struggle for society. Theoretically, the prosperous society depends on the strength of its identity. The society can achieve the social advancement, extraordinary ethos, and creativity because of their strong identity. This article attempts to explain how identity and self-capability contribute to the social advancement. This explanation refers to the thought of the modern gigantic Turkish thinker, Bediuzzaman Said Nursi. Exploring the construction of Said Nursi’s concept of Islamic identity and self-capability in developing society, especially in social prosperity and economic progression, this paper attempts to explain the foundation of social and individual prosperity. According to Said Nursi, the development of culture and civilization will be established by powerful identity which constructed by awareness of collective personality (?ahs-? manevi). The powerful identity, therefore, bases on the spirit of self-capability that will raise a progress and development. Referring to Said Nursi, this basic foundation of self-capability developed through three principles, namely self-interest versus self-sacrifice, extravagance versus frugality, and greed versus contentment. Then, by practicing and applying these three values, the prosperity and development can be achieved.

Abstract

This article examines the concept of dynamic spirituality embedded in the hajj by exploring how pilgrimage practices extend beyond individual piety to shape forms of social engagement in rural Muslim communities in Indonesia. Drawing on qualitative fieldwork conducted in Lombok and Madura, this study employs participant observation and in-depth interviews, analyzed through anthropological and phenomenological approaches to the study of religion. The findings demonstrate that the hajj functions not merely as a transcendent act of worship but as a socially embedded ritual that generates communal meanings and relationships. First, the meaning of the hajj shifts from a purely sacred obligation toward a socio-cultural phenomenon that reorganizes social status and moral authority within local communities. Second, the ritual process undergoes festivalization, wherein local cultural expressions reinterpret and publicly celebrate the hajj, reinforcing collective identity. Third, the hajj serves as a form of social adhesive, fostering inter-group solidarity and mediating social relations across kinship, class, and communal boundaries. This study argues that the dynamic spirituality of the hajj reveals its dual role as both a devotional practice and a catalyst for social cohesion, contributing to broader discussions on lived Islam, ritual transformation, and religion’s role in sustaining social integration in contemporary rural societies.
