Metode dakwah rasul Ūlū Al-‘Azmi menurut Hamka dalam tafsir Al-Azhar

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the preaching methods of Ulul ‘Azmi Prophets from the perspective of Tafsir Al-Azhar written by Hamka. The preaching aspect and its’ procedures were shown by the messengers of Allah including the five Ulul ‘Azmi Prophets mentioned in the Quran. The existence of variety of understanding and deviation in practice towards Islamic teaching such as heresy, the understanding of Liberal Islam, and other interpretations contradicting the Quran and the Sunnah become phenomena that are never separated from preaching (dakwah) and the preachers (da’i). The success and effectiveness of human acceptance for practicing the teachings of Islam are very dependent on missionary methods and approaches used. The Ulul ‘Azmi preaching method method are the best because they are the chosen prophets of the foremost in the list of the prophets and messengers of God sent into the world. This study used qualitative methods by making Tafsir al-Azhar as a primary source and other resources related to it as a secondary source. This library research uses a phenomenological approach, thematic and historical. The research findings discovered three methods as bases of Ulul ‘Azmi Prophets preaching: oral method (bilissanil maqal) that produces 18 methods, the method of bi lisanilhal that produces eight methods, and written method (bilisanil maktub) that produces two methods from it. There are 24 methods used by the Ulul ‘Azmi Prophets in their efforts to preach to the way of Allah. In interpreting such methods, Hamka used four methods namely, the ijmaliy method of interpretation (general), the tahliliy method of interpretation (analysis), the muqarin method of interpretation (comparative), and the bil ma'tsur method of interpretation (interpreting paragraph by paragraph, and interpreting the verse with the hadis). The preaching method can be used as the basis and guidelines in the preaching activity by the preachers (da’i) in present to make adjustments and modifications according to place, time and situation of targeted object of the preaching (mad’u).
