Abstract

This paper discusses the social integration that occurs in the village community of religious groups Majelis Taklim Fardhu Ain (MATFA) Indonesia in Langkat Regency, North Sumatra Province. The purposes of this paper include (1) Knowing the relationship between understanding and practicing religious teachings with social behaviour, (2) Knowing patterns of social integration; and (3) Knowing the dominant factors that support the process of social integration. This study uses a qualitative approach with problem analysis using a sociologic phenomenological approach orientation. The results of the study show that the relationship between understanding and practicing religion and the social behavior of the MATFA Village community is more likely to lead to an adhesive relationship with fellow community members who are members of the MATFA Village community. Polarization of understanding and practice of religious teachings does not have a significant influence in creating conflict. The pattern of social integration of the MATFA Village community is formed through: (1) Kinship relations, which in this case are formed through cross-marriage and mutual cooperation. (2) Participation and acculturation, and (3) Integration on the basis of general agreements; namely integration based on mutual agreement. Dominant factors that support the creation of social integration include: (1) Local wisdom, namely a sense of mutual trust between fellow communities and instilling a deep sense of affection as an embodiment of the sentence: “Bismillahirrahmanirrahim” (2) Balance in the economic system, where all the people of Kampung MATFA do not have personal wealth, but all needs are a shared responsibility. (3) Awareness of Functional Roles, this is shown from the shared awareness of the whole community. (4) Cross-marriage between ectics, tribes, and cultures that are in the plurality of the people of Kampung MATFA.
