Interaksi Penganut Majelis Tafsir Al-Quran di Kampung Tegalsari Semarang

The research was based on rejection the widespread existence of the Majelis Tafsir AlQuran (MTA) in several districts in Central Java. Using a case study approach, this research was done in Tegalsari, Semarang. The findings of the research showed that the socio-religious interaction of MTA members with Tegalsari villagers created religious social conflict. This conflict came from different understanding of the sources of Islamic law (fiqh). MTA uses textual aproach to resolve the law by ignoring the sociological historical aspects. MTA rejects the use of local cultural jurisprudence in the codification of Islamic law, because they regard some activities such as tahlilan, death-related ceremonies, and slametan are bid'ah. The main root of the conflict is the MTA truth claim and its insentive and inappropriate method of preaching. MTA does not accept the truth of others
