<![CDATA[This ethnographic study investigates wirid (Islamic devotional) activities at the micro-community level, routinely practiced as a form of da’wa (Islamic mission). Data was collected over three months, from January to March 2020. The findings reveal that wirid activities extend beyond fostering individual piety, significantly contributing to enhanced social solidarity among community members. Employing social drama theory, this article elucidates how wirid activities serve as a collective discourse to forge social cohesion among Muslims. The study identifies that preachers strategically disseminate narratives emphasizing the contemporary erosion of Islamic values, thereby strengthening social solidarity through the wirid. Furthermore, preachers leverage these gatherings to recount the historical grandeur of Islam, motivating Muslims to collectively strive for its resurgence. ]]>
