Abstract

The Indonesian Muslim diaspora in New York faces challenges in providing burial plots and burial processes that comply with Islamic law in New York City. They took the initiative to create a waqf graveyard program managed by the community. This research aims to determine the factors that can create, maintain, and possibly destroy the social capital possessed by the Indonesian Muslim diaspora community in New York regarding the waqf graveyard program. This research uses qualitative methods by interviewing informants who can provide information regarding factors that can influence social capital in the community. The results of this research illustrate that the factors that influence the creation of community social capital are the ideology held and the prosperity of community members. Factors that can maintain social capital are closed network factors, community stability, and ideology. Meanwhile, the factor that has the potential to destroy social capital in the implementation of the waqf graveyard program by the Indonesian Muslim diaspora community is the community stability factor which leads to the appointment of certain individuals as single actors in managing the grave waqf, namely in this case the waqf graveyard program coordinator.
