Abstract

The process of Muallaf mapping in West Kotawaringin, Lamandau, and Sukamara Regency in Central Kalimantan Province is very crucial and interesting to be investigated. Some problems are the Muallaf motivation to embrace Islam and their religious activities. To maintain the existence of
mu'allaf to keep in Islam, effective coaching is needed. This study uses a qualitative approach to understand symbolic meanings and interpret Muallaf’s actions. Data were obtained from 18 informants in 3 districts; West Kotawaringin Barat, Lamandau, and Sukamara Regency and the triangulation system, as well as by observation and documentary. The findings revealed; Muallaf, are facing adversity in diversity, they get minimum concern from
relevant ministries or agencies, Islamic organizations, and non-governmental organizations in Central Kalimantan. The reasons are: there is no extension agent specifically devoted to Muallaf; extension agents or preachers of the
Ministry of Religion have not been functional for Muallaf, limited funds to provide coaching, geographical constraints, and the low structured data collection for the existence of Muallaf, no precise record for each regency. The process of coaching mapping is to picture of coaching done by competent
parties. Being a Muallaf, in general, is due to marriage, one's desires, and then it is indeed given guidance by Allah. However, the majority factor triggering is marriage. Based on the facts and problems of the Muallaf existence in the three regencies, an effective coaching innovation is needed.
