The social condition of the muallaf suggests that they convert to Islam due to several reasons including their new marital life, receiving hidayah (guidance) from Allah, having knowledge about Islam before converting to Islam, having seen the benefits and changes in their life such as satisfaction, peace, prosperity, patient, high respect to gifts from Allah and wanting to have a better life and clean heart in life.The converting process includes through religious clerics, the local offices of religious affair (Kantor Urusan Agama), extended parents and respected public figures; the assimilation process of the Tionghua muallaf shows that the Tionghua muallaf have not had better social relationships with their Muslim neighbors, not been courageous enough to practice their Islam in public sphere, not done better assimilation within their new communities and not decided their direction of their new life with Islam; the discussion of constraining issues of the Tionghua muallaf to indicate that they practice close relationships within them, do not have jobs, do not have good motivations of life due to their lacks of hard work courage, they are low respect to their opportunities and self-capabilities, selfish and less public care, good communication, less understanding of their new life, do not have enough time to study Islam due to the limitation of available teachers, practice Islam with instant hopes, think about economic benefits in all activities and are less involved in both formal and informal religious support institutions.
