Dari Dakwah Normatif ke Dakwah Transformatif

Abstract

This writing discusses about dakwah transformation of young Muslim activism at Syuhada Mosque in Yogyakarta. The author states that Syuhada Mosque had pivotal role as the center of forming dakwah in Yogyakarta. As a modern mosque, there were shift orientation of dakwah activism in 1980s. Before this decade, the process of recruitment was addressed only to make a preacher or muballigh-normative dakwah. Since 1980s, the process of recruitment was more focused on making the preachers able to empower the Muslim society- transformative dakwah. This research also finds that the activism typology of the Syuhada mosque youth is “dakwah movement”, referring to based-material movement. However, the orientation shifts which happened in 1980s made the activism of Syuhada youth the bridge between dakwah movement and social transformative movement whose priority is to empower the social economy of society.
