Abstract
The issue of religion is one of the ideas of the creation of works that are always rife to be discussed, especially in literary works. Literary work is a document that records the past reality according to the author's observation, scrutiny and subjective thinking. Short story "Collapse of our Surau" is a symbol of the Minang people who have a philosophy. This type of research is qualitative with the content analysis method with a hermeneutic approach. The data source of this research is the short story "Collapse of Our Surau" by A.A. Navis. Based on the results of the discussion, it was concluded that this short story hermeneutically has the implicit meaning of the text. In this short story that collapsed is not surau. Surau is only a symbol used by A.A. Navis as a substitute for the fading of human understanding of the essence of life. As a symbol, this short story describes the attitudes and behavior of human beings who do charity without knowledge.
