Abstract

The doctrine of love for the ahlulbait in society always gives rise to discourse on power, domination, and even individual or small group gain. This study aims to discuss how the doctrine of love for the ahlulbait in Martajasah Madura is manifested, focusing on the power relations created through the perspective of Michel Foucault. This study employs a qualitative approach using data from observations and interviews. Interviews were conducted with Umar bin Abdullah Al-Hamid, Syarif Hidayatullah, Mohammad Yassir, and Umar Al-Faruq. This article finds that within the doctrine of love for the ahlulbait in Martajasah society, from the perspective of Michel Foucault's power relations, it plays a role in shaping social norms and supporting economic stability through religious practices. Additionally, love for the ahlulbait has a spiritual influence on individuals within the community. However, this doctrine also creates power dynamics between social control and resistance, resulting in an ongoing negotiation process among the research subjects.
