<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the reconstruction process of Majelis Taklim from a ritualistic orientation toward social piety through the implementation of multicultural Islamic education in Menganti, Gresik. Menganti represents a peri-urban area undergoing massive sociological transition due to industrialization, which has heightened its vulnerability to social friction and potential intolerance. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study design, data were collected over six months through participatory observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews with 15 informants comprising ustadz (religious teachers), community leaders, and congregation members (jamaah). Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, encompassing data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the reconstruction of Majelis Taklim was carried out through the redesign of a humanist-contextual curriculum and the implementation of a ritual bricolage da'wah strategy by integrating the local art form of Hadrah Santri Al Ishlah (HSA). This transformation resulted in a paradigmatic shift among the congregation, from ritual-personal piety toward social piety, articulated through inclusive cross-organizational philanthropic practices, environmental conservation initiatives, and the active role of religious leaders as mediators of horizontal conflict. The congregation successfully internalized a multicultural mindset capable of respecting ethnic and occupational diversity within the industrial environment. This study concludes that an adaptive nonformal religious education model is able to objectify spiritual values into an instrument of social change that strengthens cohesion within pluralistic communities.]]>
