Keywords:
religious communication, Muslim adolescents, meaning-makingAbstract
Abstract. Religious communication within the family plays a crucial role in the transmission of religious values to Muslim adolescents. However, parental religious messages are not always interpreted uniformly, as adolescents actively engage in meaning-making processes shaped by everyday interactions. This study aims to explore how Muslim adolescents interpret and negotiate parental religious communication within daily family life. This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach grounded in the perspective of symbolic interactionism. Informants were selected through purposive sampling, with Muslim adolescents aged 13–18 positioned as primary participants and parents serving as supporting informants. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and participant observation, and subsequently analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that adolescents perceive parental religious communication as expressions of affection, moral guidance, and normative expectations, the meanings of which are continuously negotiated through routine interactions. These findings underscore that adolescents are not passive recipients of religious messages, but active agents who construct and interpret the meanings of religious symbols within the family context.
