This study investigates the dynamics of religion in Bandar Lampung City, with a particular focus on the interaction between religion, tradition, and identity within the context of Indonesian urban society. Through a qualitative approach, this study analyzes three main aspects: the socio-religious structure, the role of mosques as discourse spaces, and the centrality of the Qur’an in the daily lives of Muslim communities. Observations and in-depth interviews were conducted in three main mosques in the city: the Al-Furqan Grand Mosque, the Al-Abror Grand Mosque, and the Taqwa Grand Mosque. The results show that religion, especially Islam, has become an integral part of the identity of the Lampung community. Despite internal diversity within the Muslim community, harmony among the people is maintained. The analysis of the three main mosques reveals differences in the tendencies of religious ideologies and discourses, which are influenced by historical background, organizational affiliation, and socio-political context. This study also finds the central role of the Qur’an in daily religious practices, a testament to the respect and appreciation for religious texts in the Muslim community. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the complexity and dynamics of religiosity in contemporary urban Indonesian society, highlighting how religious values adapt and transform in the context of modernity while maintaining their role as social and cultural foundations.
