Understanding “Contemporary Hijrah ” phenomenon: A Study of the effect of religiosity on self-esteem

Rochimah - Imawati, Eka Ade Lestari

Abstract


Abstract: A religious phenomenon currently rife in Indonesia is called “hijrah kekinian” (the contemporary hijrah); it is the religious conversion of Muslims living in big cities in Indonesia. Hundreds of Muslims, from various life paths, renew their lifestyle to be more “Islamic”. The author of this article is curious to understand, from a religious, psychological perspective, what psychological consequences are experienced by the perpetrators of the “hijrah kekinian”. Does the increasing religiosity experienced by them influence their self-esteem, which also causes them to be more self-confident and increasingly steadfast and committed to their religious conversion? For this reason, 117 “hijrah kekinian” actors with an age range of 18-40 and above residing in two big administrative cities—South Jakarta and South Tangerang—were sampled and investigated. This study uses quantitative methods, while the sampling technique used is proportional random sampling. The research found that the religiosity variable contributed significantly to the self-esteem variable and had a strong correlation with a correlation coefficient of 0.634, which implies that religious transformation possibly raises self-esteem levels. With the rise, more religious commitment is also increased.

Keywords: hijrah kekinian (contemporary hijrah); religiosity; self-esteem
