Abstract

The difference in qiblah direction found among the congregation of the Nagari Suayan Mosque in Lima Puluh Kota Regency of West Sumatera began as there was an initiative to remeasure the qiblah direction by a caretaker and imam of the mosque. The difference had turned into a conflict between the Straight Qiblah congregation and the Skewed Qiblah congregation due to the lack of communication and dissemination regarding the change in qiblah direction. While in fact, facing the direction of qiblah during salat is a belief that both groups distinctly hold. This article explains the various contexts that underlie the difference and the idea of intragroup tolerance, which is the most significant finding in this study. Intragroup tolerance in practicing religion refers to the ability or willingness to tolerate differences in the rituals/practices found among varying congregations of the same religion. The research indicates that tolerating differences is part of a journey toward peace between two differing parties, and it may have implication on developing the definition of tolerance.

一座清真寺，两个齐布拉:了解印尼西苏门答腊Nagari Suayan清真寺齐布拉方向的差异

西苏门答腊岛Lima Puluh Kota摄政区Nagari Suayan清真寺会众中发现的qiblah方向的差异始于该清真寺的一名看守和伊玛目主动重新测量qiblah的方向。由于缺乏关于奇布拉方向变化的沟通和传播，这种差异已经演变成了直奇布拉会众和斜奇布拉会众之间的冲突。而事实上，在萨拉特期间面对奇布拉的方向是两个群体明显持有的信念。本文解释了造成差异的各种背景以及群体内容忍的概念，这是本研究中最重要的发现。宗教实践中的群体内容忍是指容忍同一宗教的不同会众在仪式/实践中存在差异的能力或意愿。研究表明，容忍分歧是两个不同政党之间走向和平之旅的一部分，这可能对发展宽容的定义有影响。
