Dakwah Kultural Muhammadiyah Antara Pembaruan Dan Pembauran

Abstract

Muhammadiyah has long been recognized as a movement of dakwah (Islamic promulgation), tajdid (religious renewal), and social empowerment, and has been recorded by the history as the point of departure toward the resurrection of Muslim community in Indonesia. A dakwah activity with a social touch through educational efforts and social services has made this organization as an icon of a distinct Islamic modernization. Due to the increasing challenges faced by the dakwah activity, Muhammadiyah has to dovetail its movement with the sensitivity of cultural rooms located in the heart of Indonesian communities. Therefore, in this modern juncture, Muhammadiyah cannot be conceived as a movement without cultural sensitivity; a movement that tends to banish local cultural elements. This necessitates Muhammadiyah to acknowledge a spotlight where cultures have been well flourishing in such a colorful country.

Akan tetapi, dakwah kultural juga dimaksudkan untuk membangun keharmonisan dengan mozaik bangunan budaya kelompok lain (Suparto, 2009).…”

Model of the Cultural Da’wah of the Sunan Gunung Jati and its Relevance with the Current Da’wah of Islam

“…The spirit of Islam is substantially more concerned with the content than the container. It can be culturally expressed through various means and symbols (Suparto, 2009). In the concept of cultural da'wah, a Dai must have an understanding of ideas, there are customs, habits, values, norms, symbols, and others as a method of conveying his da'wah teachings.…”
