Abstract


The presence of religious social groups is driven by the process of leadership emergence. The purpose of this study is to find (1) the concept of leadership of the Tablighi Jamaah from various perspectives; Sufism, jurisprudence, laity, and religious authority; (2) Construction of the identity of the religious leaders of the Jamaah Tabligh. The research paradigm uses virtual ethnographic methods with social identity construction theory. The results showed that (1) the concept of leadership in the Tablighi Jamaah emphasized more on religious authority and charismatic leadership (2) The construction of the religious identity of the leadership dimension of the Tablighi Jama'at was a combination of charismatic and transformational authority. This research can have an impact on the leadership model of social and religious institutions in Indonesia as a model that is quite effective in creating observance of pilgrims.
