Bentuk-Bentuk Pesan Dakwah dalam Kajian Al-Qur’an

Abstract

This paper aims to examine the form of <em>da’wa</em> mes­­­­­­­­­­­sa­­ge in the <em>al-Qur’an</em>. It argues that the forms of pro­selytizing <em>(da’wa) </em>message in the <em>Qur’an</em> encompass; Qur’­anic verses, prophetic tradition, scholar’s opinions, research results, stories, and news. The Qur’anic verses play a major role in regard with <em>da’wa</em> message due to its dis­tinctive func­tions, namely as guidance or humankind, crite­rion between right and wrong, evaluation standards for other holy scrip­tures, and as a medium of enlightenment. Ḥadȋth of the Prophet Muhammad, Saw., also consi­dered as form of <em>da’wa</em> message because it interpret some verses or make clarifications of ambiguities which hide in some verses. While ulema roles is as a refe­rence for religious studies as well as stories and news constitute the proselytizing message.
