%X This paper aims to elaborate the process of  negotiation and compromise of Indonesian Ahmadiyya  Community (JAI) in Yogyakarta among other religious  groups, which mostly threaten and even commit violence  against it, and toward society in general. This social process  maintained by JAI is to make space for participation in order  that its existence and teachings must be heard by public. By  using qualitative approach, this study collected data from  interview, documents, and media’s coverage of JAI community  in Yogyakarta. This study finds interesting strategies of  negotiating, compromising, and adapting to social realm,  which is called the art of compromise. Indeed, JAI is amenable  to compromise with—instead of confronting and offending—  various religious groups and institutions as well to build  collaboration and partnership, like joining The Brotherhood  Forum for Faithful Community (FPUB) instead of the Interreligious  Harmony Forum (FKUB). Negotiation and  compromise are two important factors played by JAI to  maintain its existence, activities, and influences over public.  Therefore, the art of compromise becomes more flexible  approach for the JAI community to face pressure,  discrimination, and even violence from other religious groups  in Yoyakarta.
