Abstract: Background/purpose: This study explores the dynamics of grassroots religious transformation driven by the Al-Mukhlasin Islamic boarding school in the urban community of Gogagoman, Indonesia. The objectives of this study are articulated into three main focuses: first, to identify and describe the forms of contribution of community-based programmes organised by the pesantren; second, to analyse the impact of these contributions on tangible changes in the religious behaviour of the community; and third, to reveal and analyse the obstacles encountered in the guidance process. Materials/methods: This study uses qualitative research methods, including a case study approach, to gain a deep, holistic understanding of the phenomenon. Data collection was carried out through triangulation methods, including participatory observation in pesantren activities, semi-structured in-depth interviews with key actors, and documentation analysis. The research subjects were selected purposively to capture a variety of perspectives, including pesantren caregivers, ustaz or TPQ teachers, community members, and local religious leaders. The collected data were analysed systematically using Miles and Huberman's (2014) interactive model to identify themes, patterns, and meanings. Results: The results show that Al-Mukhlasin Islamic Boarding School has successfully initiated a transformation process through a participatory grassroots programme ecosystem. These programmes serve as catalysts, consisting of: the Al-Qur'an Education Park (TPQ), which focuses on character building among the younger generation; the khuruj dakwah programme, which takes a personalised approach from house to house; and community recitations with material relevant to urban life. Conclusion: The impact of these programmes is significantly manifested in several forms: (a) increased formal religious participation, including increased attendance at mosques; (b) strengthened spirituality that has been internalised into new social norms in the community; and (c) the formation of a more inclusive and empowered religious community, where ordinary citizens feel empowered to learn and practise religious teachings.
