Pengakuan Sosial terhadap Identitas Keagamaan Minoritas dalam Relasi Muslim Hindu melalui Pendekatan Bimbingan dan Konseling Islam di Desa Sukoreno, Jember

Purpose: This study analyzes how social recognition of a Hindu religious minority is practiced in Muslim–Hindu relations in Sukoreno Village, Umbulsari, Jember, and whether the visible harmony of the village is accompanied by equal recognition. It draws on Hegel’s philosophy of intersubjective recognition as the grand theory and Honneth’s recognition theory (love, rights, and solidarity) as the middle-range theory. Research Approach and Method: The study employed a qualitative case-study design. Data came from four interview sessions with eight informants and four structured field reports covering eleven further informants (Muslim, Hindu, Christian, and Buddhist residents and the village head), collected in October 2023, together with observation notes and the village profile. Data were analyzed with the Miles–Huberman–Saldaña interactive model using a deductive Honneth coding frame, and credibility was supported by source and technique triangulation. Findings: Recognition of rights and social esteem is relatively strong: worship is unobstructed, government aid is described as equal, Hindu leaders speak freely in the interfaith forum, and youth of different religions guard each other’s rituals. Affective recognition appears mainly in religiously mixed families and in life-cycle rituals. Recognition is nevertheless incomplete: the Hindu temple and the ogoh-ogoh parade are financed by the Hindu community itself, expression on religious matters is self-restrained, and security apparatus acts as the final safeguard in a temple dispute. Research Limitations and Implications: The study is limited to one village, 2023 data, and interview material partly mediated by student reports; no member-checking was conducted and figures on religious adherents differ across sources. Theoretically, the findings show that recognition separates mere coexistence from respect and esteem in the study of tolerance. Practical Implications: Village governments and the interfaith harmony forum can formalize existing informal norms into transparent protocols for religious events, facilities, and aid, with minority participation in decision-making. Social Implications: Harmony that depends on personal leadership and informal norms is vulnerable; institutionalizing recognition can protect minority dignity across generations. Originality/Value: The originality of this study lies in the empirical operationalization of Honneth’s three spheres, together with their absence (misrecognition), in a Javanese Muslim–Hindu village, whereas previous studies mostly stopped at harmony, ritual, or normative discussion.
