PERAN PEMUKA AGAMA MEMBANGUN ETIKA EKONOMI DALAM MASYARAKAT MULTIKULTURAL
Indonesia's multicultural society consists of various religious, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, requiring economic ethics that can harmoniously accommodate diversity. Religious leaders have a strategic role in developing economic ethics based on moderate and inclusive religious moral and spiritual values. This study examines economic ethics from an interfaith perspective and the role of religious leaders in applying economic ethics to their congregations. The informants for this study were ten religious leaders from Islam, Catholicism, Protestantism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. This study used a qualitative method with a case study approach. The results of this study indicate that economic ethics from an interfaith perspective are conveyed through teaching, guidance, and example. Religious leaders play a role in instilling the principles of honesty, justice, responsibility, and solidarity in the economic activities of the community. In addition, religious leaders also play a role in facilitating interfaith dialogue to strengthen tolerance and economic cooperation across communities. This approach not only maintains social harmony but also encourages fair and sustainable economic empowerment, where religious leaders can become effective agents of social change in building economic ethics that support harmony and mutual prosperity.

PERTUKARAN SOSIAL DAN REPRODUKSI SOLIDARITAS DALAM TRADISI NARIK WIRIT
The wrist-pulling tradition is a social exchange practice based on a reciprocal system. The research aims to analyze the mechanisms of social exchange in the wrist-pulling tradition in Punggulan village using George C. Homans' theoretical framework. This research uses a qualitative approach with an ethnographic method conducted in Punggulan Village, Air Joman District, Asahan Regency, for two months. Data was collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with 6 informants (Mrs. Pawit, Sari Rahayu, Mrs. Ayat, and 3 other residents) selected through purposive sampling, as well as documentation. The analysis uses the Miles and Huberman model integrated with seven propositions from Homans' theory. The results of this study indicate that the traditional practice of "narik wirit" is triggered by economic factors and social norms. This tradition also provides financial benefits, social support, and a mechanism for reproducing solidarity through "rewang" (mutual aid). Nevertheless, there is social pressure to reciprocate invitations when pulling rank, even though the economy is struggling. Economically, the benefits felt by the community when pulling wirit are greater than the costs incurred. Additionally, the community also views pulling the wirit as a symbol of social solidarity among residents. Then, intergenerational value differences were found, where the older generation viewed tradition as an obligation of solidarity, while the younger generation saw it as a social debt. The tradition of "narik wirit" demonstrates a balance between economic rationality and social solidarity, with value adaptations aligned with modernization.

PANDANGAN DA'I KONTEMPORER INDONESIA TERHADAP PERHITUNGAN WETON DALAM PENENTUAN PASANGAN: ANALISIS ETNOGRAFI VIRTUAL DI MEDIA TIKTOK
This study analyzes the views of four contemporary Indonesian preachers, that is Hanan Attaki, Buya Yahya, Gus Baha, and Ustadz Abdul Somad regarding the practice of Weton calculation and parental blessing in marital decision-making as presented on TikTok. Using a qualitative approach through content analysis and virtual ethnography, the research examined four TikTok sermons (10–15 minutes each) uploaded between January 2023 and December 2024, along with audience interactions in the comment sections.

The study shows that TikTok serves as a space for negotiating religious and cultural values, with Buya Yahya’s moderate approach being the most accepted. This research contributes to contemporary digital da’wah studies by highlighting the emergence of new religious authority within Indonesia’s digital landscape.

TRANSFORMASI SOSIAL MAJELIS RATIB AL-‘ATTAS HABIB MUHAMMAD AL-HABSYI GRESIK
This research explores the social transformation occurring within the Majelis Ratib al-‘Attas Habib Muhammad al-Habsyi Gresik. This research focuses on three aspects: the concept and nature of egalitarianism applied in the assembly to all its members, the social impact of the assembly on the lives of its members, and the existence of the assembly in the flow of changes in social life. This research uses a phenomenological approach with Moustakas' (1994) phenomenological data analysis, namely Bracketing, Reduction, Clustering, and Validation (confirming the theme through data triangulation). The researcher used a questionnaire with 50 randomly selected respondents, all of whom were council members, and conducted ethnographic interviews based on the James P. Spradley model. Primary sources are one of the strengths of this research. The research results show that this assembly is agreed upon by the majority of respondents as an assembly that highly emphasizes the principle of equality. (egaliterisme). Respondents also gave a high score to the assembly's ability to change the social lives of its members. Meanwhile, regarding the existence of the assembly, respondents still believe that the Ras assembly is capable of enduring the social changes occurring within the community. Thus, this study is expected to become a comprehensive repository on the philanthropy of a congregation that dares to take unpopular steps amidst other more established congregations.

This study concludes that social media plays an active role in shaping digital collective consciousness, and grassroots movements such as Julid Fisabilillah are able to influence value-based consumption behavior. The implication is that online social movements can be an effective means of building social solidarity and encouraging social change based on ethical values and the dissemination of information

PROGRAM PEMBERDAYAAN MASYARAKAT PESISIR MELALUI PENGEMBANGAN UMKM OLAHAN CUMI , STUDI DI DESA LANGGULA, KECAMATAN BATUDAA PANTAI, KABUPATEN GORONTALO
This study aims to explore the impact of a community empowerment program through the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) based on squid processing in Langgula Village, Batudaa Pantai District, Gorontalo Regency. The research focuses on how the program influences economic welfare, product innovation, production efficiency, and marketing strategies among coastal communities. This study employed a qualitative method with a case study approach, involving seven key informants consisting of village officials, fishermen, and MSME actors.

STRATEGI PETANI DALAM MEMUTUS MATA RANTAI KETERGANTUNGAN PADA TENGKULAK (STUDI DI DESA KOLUWOKA, KECAMATAN SUMALATA TIMUR KABUPATEN GORONTALO UTARA)
The dependence of farmers on middlemen remains a complex socio-economic issue in rural Indonesia. According to data from the Gorontalo Utara District Agricultural Office (2024), approximately 78% of farmers in Sumalata Timur Subdistrict continue to rely on middlemen for farming capital and crop distribution due to limited access to formal financial institutions. This study aims to analyze the forms of farmers’ dependency on middlemen, the resulting socio-economic impacts, and the adaptive strategies employed to reduce such dependency in Koluwoka Village, Sumalata Timur Subdistrict, Gorontalo Utara Regency. The study employed a qualitative method with a case study approach, involving eight key informants consisting of farmers, village officials, and middlemen. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation. The findings reveal two main forms of dependency: economic dependency, which includes the need for agricultural capital, production facilities, and household necessities; and social dependency, characterized by reciprocal relationships based on trust and indebtedness. Middlemen not only serve as financial providers but also assist in meeting educational, household, and traditional ceremonial expenses, reinforcing an unequal patron–client relationship. Based on Robert Putnam’s theory of social capital, the relationship between farmers and middlemen demonstrates strong bonding social capital within the community but weak bridging social capital connecting farmers to formal economic institutions. The adaptive strategies adopted by farmers to reduce dependency include forming independent farmer groups, establishing internal savings and loan activities, and collaborating with local cooperatives. The study implies the importance of strengthening social capital, improving financial literacy, and empowering farmers economically through inclusive access to capital and community-based institutional support.

ADAPTASI SOSIAL BENTOR KONVESIONAL DI TENGAH PERSAINGAN DENGAN TRANSPORTASI ONLINE MAXIM (STUDI PENELITIAN DI AREA PANGKALAN BENTOR CITIMALL GORONTALO)
This study aims to analyze the social adaptation of conventional bentor drivers at the Citimall terminal, Heledulaa Selatan Village, Gorontalo City, in facing competition with Maxim online transportation. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, using data collection techniques such as observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, with informants selected purposively from conventional bentor drivers who are actively operating in the terminal area. The results indicate three forms of social adaptation undertaken by bentor drivers: active adaptation, including seeking passengers by patrolling, reducing fares, maintaining relationships with regular customers, and utilizing social media; passive adaptation, demonstrated by remaining at the terminal without innovating despite a decline in passengers; and integrative adaptation, manifested through mutual agreements with online transportation drivers regarding operational area restrictions and the implementation of a queuing system at the terminal to maintain social harmony. These findings highlight the importance of adaptation strategies for traditional drivers to sustain their livelihoods while fostering social harmony amid the competition with modern transportation.

PERUBAHAN SOSIAL EKONOMI MASYARAKAT SEKITAR DANAU PERINTIS
This study examines the social and economic changes experienced by the communities surrounding Lake Perintis, located in Huluduotamo Village, Suwawa District, Bone Bolango Regency, as an impact of the rapid development of the tourism area. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using data collection methods such as field observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation to obtain a comprehensive understanding of community conditions before and after the tourism development. The findings indicate that the development of Lake Perintis has brought positive impacts to the local community, including increased income, the creation of new job opportunities, and a shift in livelihoods from the agricultural sector to the service and tourism sectors. Furthermore, the development has stimulated the growth of small and medium enterprises based on the creative economy, strengthened social interaction among residents, and expanded access to new economic opportunities. However, the study also reveals several negative impacts, such as increased competition between local and migrant traders, concerns over environmental degradation caused by uncontrolled tourism activities, and inequality in business space management and profit distribution. Therefore, a sustainable and participatory tourism management strategy is required to ensure that the development of Lake Perintis not only enhances the community’s economic well-being but also maintains social balance, cultural values, and environmental sustainability in the area.

PERSEPSI GENERASI Z TERHADAP GLORIFIKASI PERNIKAHAN DINI OLEH GUS ZIZAN PADA MEDIA SOSIAL TIKTOK
Child marriage remains a pressing issue in Indonesia despite the existence of regulations that set a minimum legal age for marriage. The marriage of Gus Zizan to a 16-year-old santriwati in 2024 illustrates how this practice gains both social and religious legitimacy, while simultaneously being glorified through social media. This study aims to analyze how Generation Z constructs social perceptions of child marriage and to examine the role of Gus Zizan in its glorification on TikTok. The research employs a qualitative approach using netnography and in-depth interviews with several Generation Z informants. The findings reveal that visual representations and religious-romantic narratives on TikTok shape Generation Z’s perception that early marriage is an ideal choice, reinforced by social validation and parasocial relationships with public figures. Limited digital literacy renders adolescents vulnerable to uncritical acceptance of viral narratives, allowing their life standards and expectations to be shaped more by social media algorithms than by social realities. Furthermore, Gus Zizan’s creative religious content significantly strengthens the glorification of child marriage, although it potentially generates adverse impacts such as limited educational aspirations, gender inequality, and socio-economic vulnerability. This study highlights the importance of digital literacy and ethical online preaching to prevent the normalization of child marriage among youth. Keywords: Generation Z, TikTok, child marriage, social perception, religious influencer

PEMANFAATAAN BANTUAN BAZNAS BONEBOLANGO DI KELURAHAN TUMBIHE KECAMATAN KABILA
This study aims to analyze the impact of Baznas assistance on the welfare of recipients in Tumbihe Village, Kabila District, focusing on how the assistance contributes to improving quality of life and economic empowerment. Baznas assistance not only serves as support for daily economic needs but is also directed toward promoting productive business development, particularly for recipients running micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The study employs a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews with purposively selected recipients to obtain relevant and representative information regarding their experiences in utilizing the assistance. The findings indicate that Baznas assistance positively affects family income, saving capacity, and the development of micro-enterprises, including business expansion, increased customer base, and improved product competitiveness. However, the study also identifies several challenges that affect the effectiveness of the assistance, such as difficulty separating business and household finances, limited capital, and unstable business income due to fluctuations in customer demand. These findings underscore that, in addition to fund distribution, continuous mentoring and supervision are necessary to ensure that Baznas assistance is optimally utilized, thereby creating long-term impacts on recipients’ welfare.

TELAAH SOSIOLOGIS TERHADAP PENOLAKAN KOMERSIALISASI AGAMA DAN FEODALISME DI DESA KENJO, BANYUWANGI
This study explores the socio-religious phenomenon of kyai (Islamic clerics) in Kenjo Village, Banyuwangi, who uphold the values of sincerity and reject both the commercialization of religion and feudal religious structures. In the context of modern society, religion is often used as an economic instrument or a symbol of social status. However, the kyai in Kenjo demonstrate a form of value rationality as proposed by Max Weber social actions driven by moral and spiritual beliefs rather than material gain. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and literature review. The findings reveal that kyai in Kenjo carry out their religious duties with simplicity, refusing financial rewards as a moral expression of sincerity. They also resist hierarchical religious relations by fostering egalitarian interactions with the community. Such behavior reflects the manifestation of religion as a lived social practice rather than merely a normative belief system. Hence, the role of kyai in Kenjo can be interpreted as a form of resistance against the commodification of religion and symbolic domination, embodying social actions oriented toward moral and spiritual values.

MODEL PEMBERDAYAAN PEREMPUAN BERBASIS PESANTREN: STUDI KASUS PONDOK PESANTREN SUNAN GUNUNG JATI BA’ALAWY
This study aims to analyze the pesantren-based women's empowerment model at the Sunan Gunung Jati Ba'alawy Islamic Boarding School and examine the strategic role of Ibu Nyai as a central figure in building the spiritual, intellectual, and social independence of female students. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method, through data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation.The results show that women's empowerment in this Islamic boarding school is implemented through four main pillars, namely: (1) spiritual empowerment through the Al-Qur'an memorization program, which fosters discipline and religious character; (2) intellectual empowerment through the study of classical Islamic texts, which trains critical thinking and reasoning; (3) socio-cultural empowerment through the Maulid Nabi tradition, which builds solidarity and collective leadership; and (4) leadership empowerment through the example set by Ibu Nyai, who combines charismatic, economic, and social responsibility values. This model reflects an alternative form of empowerment based on Islamic values and Islamic boarding school wisdom that is adaptive to the challenges of the times. Pesantren not only serve as religious educational institutions, but also as spaces for social transformation that prepare women to be empowered, independent, Islamic in character, and ready to contribute to sustainable community development.

MAKNA KULTURAL DAN NILAI RELIGIUS TRADISI KEMBANG ENDOG-ENDOGAN DALAM PERINGATAN MULUDAN NABI DI BANYUWANGI
Local religious traditions in Indonesia function not only as ritual practices but also as spaces for the production of social and religious meaning within community life. One such tradition is kembang endog-endogan, which is performed during the commemoration of the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday (Maulid Nabi Muhammad SAW) in Kluncing Village, Licin District, Banyuwangi. This study aims to analyze the cultural meanings and religious values embedded in the kembang endog-endogan tradition and to examine its role in strengthening the social-religious identity of the local community. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using participant observation and in-depth interviews. Observations were conducted during the Maulid Nabi Muhammad SAW celebration around September 2025, while interviews involved eight informants consisting of religious leaders, community leaders, kembang endog artisans, and residents directly involved in the implementation of the tradition. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the kembang endog-endogan tradition contains religious symbolism representing the values of sharia, iman (faith), and ihsan through the interpretation of the egg’s three layers. In addition, this tradition functions as a mechanism for strengthening social cohesion, transmitting religious values across generations, and reproducing the collective identity of the Banyuwangi community. Sociologically, these findings demonstrate that local cultural practices are capable of integrating Islamic teachings with local wisdom in a contextual manner and remaining relevant amid ongoing social change.

TANTANGAN REGENERASI KEPEMIMPINAN AGAMA HINDU DI DESA SUMBERASRI KABUPATEN BANYUWANGI
The process of leadership regeneration in Hinduism is an important issue for maintaining the continuity of traditions, ceremonies, and social stability in society. This study examines the Hindu community in Sumberasri Village, Banyuwangi Regency, which faces difficulties in finding successors to religious leaders. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative through interviews, observation, and document collection. Max Weber's concept of traditional authority is used to analyze the legitimacy of leadership based on culture and ancestral heritage, while Karl Marx's social structure theory analyzes the influence of economic aspects on leadership regeneration. The results of the study reveal three main challenges, namely strict customary regulations, the limited economic conditions of the families of prospective leaders, and the low interest of the younger generation in religious aspects. Social and economic factors have proven to be obstacles in the process of succession of religious leadership, which previously relied heavily on traditional values. This study recommends improving community-based religious education and the active involvement of the younger generation in ritual activities as a strategy to strengthen the process of succession of Hindu leadership in the future. This study recommends improving community-based religious education and actively involving the younger generation in ritual activities as strategies to strengthen the process of Hindu leadership regeneration in the future.

FENOMENA WAITHOOD DAN PERGESERAN NILAI PERNIKAHAN: STUDI SOSIAL MASYARAKAT PERKOTAAN YOGYAKARTA
The phenomenon of waithood or delayed marriage has become a new social trend among urban youth, including in Yogyakarta City. This article examines the factors contributing to waithood and how this phenomenon reflects a shift in marriage values within Yogyakarta’s urban society. The study employs a qualitative-descriptive approach using phenomenological methods and James S. Coleman’s Rational Choice Theory. Data were collected through interviews with 50 respondents aged 23–35 years who have not yet married. The findings reveal five main reasons for delaying marriage in Yogyakarta: economic instability, focus on education and career, fear of commitment, difficulty finding a compatible partner, and the influence of social media. Analysis based on Coleman’s theory shows that individuals, as social actors, seek to maximize benefits by postponing marriage until they reach ideal financial and emotional conditions. These collective decisions form a new social pattern that indicates a shift in the perception of marriage from a moral obligation to a rational life choice. Therefore, adaptive responses from family, state, and religious institutions are necessary to develop social policies that are more contextual and responsive to the realities of Yogyakarta’s urban youth today. Keywords: Waithood, Youth, Value Shift.

STRUKTURASI PRAKTIK KEAGAMAAN ANAK DALAM KELUARGA MULTIAGAMA: STUDI FENOMENOLOGI PADA KELUARGA DI KOTA BEKASI
This research focuses on uncovering Anthony Giddens' duality of structure process in the religious practices of children in interfaith families, specifically how the dialectical interaction between child agency and religious structure reproduces or transforms those practices. The study utilizes a qualitative approach with Alfred Schutz's phenomenology design to capture subjective meaning, which is then theoretically analyzed using Anthony Giddens' Structuration Theory to understand the dialectical interaction between the parents' religious structure and the children's agency. Findings indicate that the family's religious structure is asymmetrical, dominated by the Mother (Islam) through resource control and dual legitimation (theological-pragmatic), which is reinforced by the Father's (Buddhist) strategic withdrawal. The children, as shrewd agents, realize their practices in the form of "distant obedience"; they use discursive consciousness to prioritize relational harmony, while practical consciousness reproduces the structure through ritual routinization. Simultaneously, this practice reproduces the dominant ritual structure, but also transforms the family's signification, shifting the meaning of religion from exclusive dogma toward universal ethics and tolerance, which is key to family resilience.
