Abstract


This article discusses the development of Islam and the diverse Muslim community in South Korea from 1990-2020. The Korea Muslim Federation (KMF), bridging the relationship between the Muslim minority in Korea and the global Muslim community, builds networks and seeks to spread Islam widely in South Korea. Having a network allows for relationships that provide convenience and unlimited connections, bridging diverse individuals or communities. Islam in South Korea exists as a minority community, through the connections and networks built by the Korean Muslim Federation with the global Muslim community, both Islam and the Muslim community have received a lot of support and kindness from various global Muslim organizations. Relationships are established on the basis of brotherhood and care among fellow Muslims. KMF's network with global Muslims is a type of social capital that bridges communities, groups, or organizations.

The social capital theory is used to understand the phenomena that occur and answer the questions in this study. Through the social relations established by the Korean Muslim Federation (KMF) with the global Muslim community, Islam developed widely in South Korea as a minority community, and the Muslim community grew as a multicultural Muslim society from 1990 to 2020.

Hubungan terjalin atas dasar persaudaraan dan kepedulian antar sesama Muslim. Jaringan KMF dengan Muslim global merupakan jenis modal sosial yang menjembatani antara komunitas, kelompok atau organisasi.
