METODE KAJIAN KEILMUAN DAKWAH DALAM PERSPEKTIF PENGEMBANGAN MASYARAKAT ISLAM

Abstract

Islamic da'wah today is not only understood as the verbal delivery of religious teachings, but also as a solution-oriented and sustainable social transformation process. In the modern context, da'wah is required to respond to complex issues such as poverty, social inequality, radicalism, and digital disruption. Therefore, Islamic community development (PMI) is seen as a strategic approach that combines the values of the Qur'an and Sunnah with social science and empowerment instruments. This article aims to examine the scientific methods of da'wah and their relevance to Islamic community development, thereby formulating a more applicable, participatory, and contextual da'wah model. This research uses a library research method with a qualitative-descriptive approach. Data sources include primary literature (the Qur'an, hadith, works of classical and contemporary scholars) and secondary literature (scholarly books, journals, proceedings, and official documents). The analysis was conducted through content analysis with the stages of inventory, classification, and synthesis of the literature. The study results indicate that relevant da'wah methods include normative-theological, historical, sociological, psychological, participatory, and interdisciplinary approaches. The application of these methods allows da'wah to be present in various fields, such as education, economics, conflict resolution, and even digital da'wah. Thus, da'wah can function as a transformative force that brings blessings to all aspects of life.
