USAHA DAN STRATEGI DAKWAH BADI‘AL-ZAMAN SA‘ID AL-NURSIY DALAM PEMBANGUNAN INSAN Badi’ Al-Zaman Sa’id Al-Nursiy’s Da’wah Efforts and Strategy in Human Development

Abstract

Faced with various tribulations and trials of life, Badi‘ al-Zaman Sa‘id al- Nursiy rose to become a highly respected figure in the fields of islah (reform) and da‘wah (preaching). His efforts in preaching were evident throughout his life to save the faith of Muslims who, at that time were tested with oppression from the enemies of Islam. The questions are, what were al-Nursiy’s preaching efforts? What were the strategies used to ensure the success of his preaching? These two questions subsequently formed two main objectives. First, identifying the preaching efforts executed by al-Nursiy which had helped in developing excellent human beings. Second, analysing his preaching strategies based on the endeavours undertaken. A qualitative approach and document review are used for data collection to achieve these two objectives. The results of the research found that there were various endeavours made by al-Nursiy starting with oneself, then progressing to a wider group, complying with the bottom-up strategies to achieve the goals in human development, simultaneously as a point of reference to be adopted by preachers in the same field.
