However, users of social media have entered into certain religious circles such as majelis taklim. The purpose of the study was to find out how the patterns of social media use in constructing identities carried out through social media by members of the Taklim assembly group. This study uses a qualitative approach using a constructivist paradigm that is descriptive. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation and literature studies. The results obtained are the formation of community identities carried out by its members through activities carried out starting from recitation, tahlil, and pilgrimage to the tomb. The photos and videos of these activities were then published by members of the assembly on the social media of their members. The formation of the identity of the assembly members is an instant way of forming the image of the assembly and aims to obtain new members of the recitation. The conclusion obtained from this paper is that the identity is not in a static condition but is liquid, it is constantly being constructed to fulfill the interests of the assembly and its members.
