Abstract

This paper provides an examination of how integrated is the Muslim way of life in Salam Compound today to understand Muslim migrant community formation and integration into mainstream society. The primary factors that served as catalysing agents in the formation of a unique leadership model in the community include the community members’ Muslim and ethnic affiliation, attributions of Salam Compound as a dedicated land (waqf), the land dispute issue with Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) and the reception of the host community. The reception of the Barangay Culiat is primarily influenced by the community’s affiliation to Islam, the stigma associated with their Muslimness, the entry of a more favourable INC community, and tokenism. All of these factors contributed to the development of a “kadatuan within,” a distinct leadership model of inter-regional migrant Muslim communities. This “kadatuan within” is necessary to sustain the religious attributions of Salam Compound as an ummah within a dedicated land (waqf) amidst the issue of property ownership and legal recognition. © 2018, © 2018 Philippine Political Science Association (PPSA).
