Abstract

Religious diversity is a reality that can not be separated from the life of Indonesian society in general and Tigabinanga Village in particular. Relations among religious followers who are harmonious encourage researchers to examine how Muslims and Christians are able to create harmony in everyday life. This research is expected to be useful both theoretically and practically. This research is a qualitative descriptive research that makes individual as research subject. The research informant is determined by purposive procedure. Data were collected by using three methods: semi structured interview, observation and documentation. Interpretation of data is done in stages starting from data collection, data reduction until the conclusions and recommendations of research are obtained. Harmony between Christians and Muslims continues to this day. The Tigabinanga Urban community is engaged in relationships with people of different faiths intertwined from interactions in daily life and shared activities. Several factors support the religious harmony in Tigabinanga Village, namely the strong influence of Karo customs, the social adaptation of migrant communities, the tolerance of fellow believers and the rapid response of the government apparatus to issues developing outside the Tigabinanga sub-district. Karo's customs are big in maintaining harmony among religious people. The diversity of the Tigabinanga Village community is also seen from the ethnic background. The social adaptation of immigrant communities with their culture and everyday life makes the harmony of religious people to occur in all areas of society. The tolerance of fellow believers takes place in everyday life. The local government's response to gathering all religious leaders to discuss sensitive issues emerging outside the region also shows the government's share in maintaining the harmony of religious relations.
