Abstract
This research delves into the evolving identity of Indonesian Muslims residing in the United States, examining both spiritual and philosophical dimensions. Amidst a multicultural and multi-religious American society, Indonesian Muslims navigate unique challenges and opportunities that shape their identity. This study explores how their spiritual practices and philosophical beliefs adapt and transform in a diaspora context, highlighting the interplay between maintaining traditional values and integrating into a new cultural environment. By employing qualitative methods, including interviews and participant observations, the research reveals the complex layers of identity formation, offering insights into how faith and philosophy influence the everyday lives and community dynamics of Indonesian Muslims in the United States. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the transnational religious experience and the broader discourse on identity in a globalized world.
