<![CDATA[Abstract
This study was motivated by the importance of providing systematic guidance for convert students (muallaf) to strengthen their Islamic understanding while developing preaching skills needed for community engagement. The Minangkabau Village Islamic Boarding School in Padang implements a structured development program that emphasizes not only religious understanding but also practical da'wah competence. This study aimed to analyze the guidance strategies employed to improve the preaching skills of convert students at the Minangkabau Village Islamic Boarding School, Padang. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the boarding school leader, Islamic teachers, and convert students. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data credibility was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings revealed that the guidance strategy was implemented through four main stages: planning, organizing, implementation, and supervision. The program began with strengthening Islamic faith, worship practices, and Qur'anic reading skills, followed by intensive training in preaching through short religious sermons (kultum), public speaking exercises (muhadarah), sermon practice, Islamic study sessions, and Ramadan outreach activities. The guidance process was conducted gradually using persuasive approaches adapted to the characteristics and needs of convert students. These strategies contributed to improving participants' Islamic understanding, self-confidence, communication competence, and practical preaching skills both within the boarding school environment and in the wider community.
