The purpose of this study is to reveal how religious economic movements which are typical of urban Muslims (modernists) can be formed and grow in rural areas which are generally traditionalists. This research used an analysis descriptive method. All data and information according to the research objectives were obtained through observation and strengthened by interviews with several resources of participants, and also combined with reading documentary data. All information obtained was analyzed by a qualitative approach. Theoretical analysis of the findings of the studies is using the Max Weber theory who found religious relation with the economic behavior. The results of this study indicate that the religious economic social movement in rural areas is formed when religious symbols meet with opportunity factors, among others: first, structural supports are the strengthening of the spirit of formalization of Islamic doctrine and political support. Secondly, the structural strain resulting from the formation of new poverty as a result of ecological changes. Third, the formalization of religious substance into symbols as well as framing the movement. Fourth, the character of mutual cooperation in rural areas was the basic capital to become an organized group in the economic movement. Fifth, the movement actors present from the fragmentation of the village authority due to rural modernization. Thus, the conclusion of this study, the religion in Muslims in rural life is not a major factor that encourages the realization of the economic social movement. The traditionalist Muslims of rural life have an impetus for economic behavior when they meet the factors of opportunity.
