Abstract

This study aims to analyze the religious motives of the Umrah pilgrims in coastal communities, whether the Umrah is only as religious accessories or has been able to place it as a substantial religion. This article uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach to religious coastal communities, each of which has a different experience and purpose in carrying out Umrah worship. Max Weber's social actions and the intrinsic and extrinsic religious orientation of Gordon Allport and Ross became the theory used to analyze the umrah phenomenon of coastal communities. This article results, that the worshipers have different motives in carrying out worship; first, the reason they chose Umrah as a worship service to Baitullah, was because the Hajj waiting list was very long and was not possible with conditions that were getting older; Second, performing Umrah in the Holy Land as a place of forgiveness of sins for the mistakes that have been made; Third, the Umrah worship conducted by the middle to upper classes is predominantly oriented to intrinsic religion, but some of them have found an extrinsic religious orientation. Whereas in the lower middle class, informants show the intrinsic orientation motives.
