The wave of modernization and industrialization affect people’s lives. This got a mixed response from the community of Islamic traditionalism led by Kiai. This study reconstructs the framing of Islamic traditionalism community in dealing with the social changes of modern society, through the experimentation of sociological arguments. The social context of this study was in Paiton area with the dual character of Pandalungan society and traditional Islamic religious culture. To analyze the problem, the concept of frames is used in social action. The process of collecting data through in-depth interviews with three leaders of the Islamic traditionalism community and the followers of each community (six people). The choosing of three communities is based on replica models. Analysis of research data is done in an interpretive-reflexive way. The study concludes: first, the community frame of Islamic traditionalism is dominated by community leaders; second, the wave of modernization and industrialization has an impact on the birth of variations of the Islamic traditionalism community in terms of its form, response, and characteristics; third, there is a similarity in responding to social change, namely religious communication strategies to strengthen the goals, narratives, capital and actions of Islamic traditionalism communities, as well as being a tool to break the authority of other leaders; and fourth, the language of religiousness becomes a force in mobilizing the masses and carrying out social transformation.
