Abstract

Da’wah preferences among urban Muslim millennials are likely changing recently due to the emergence of figures, namely Bahauddin Nur Salim (Gus Baha) and Habib Husein Ja’far Al-Hadar (Habib Ja’far). Da’wah materials offered by mainstream preachers in urban areas tend to be Salafi. Meanwhile, the two figures’ appearance gave a new color with a traditional Islamic pattern based on the nuances of pesantren. This study aims to examine the changes in da’wah preferences among millennial urban and the reason behind it. Through Stuart Hall’s circuit of culture theory, this study attempts to compare the two figures who became religious authority alternatives through da’wah methods in the stages of content production. This qualitative study is based on previous studies, preachers speeches through YouTube channels. The study shows that urban millennial generations have likely experienced changing preferences in da’wah which was originally consumptive listening to da’wah from several Salafi groups to the alternative moderate groups. Meanwhile, Habib Ja’far might be preferable among youngsters as he has a wider segmentation than Gus Baha.

Abstract

In the last decade, a religious conservatism group of Front Pembela Islam (FPI) was notoriously controversial due to series of anti-government protests, harsh approaches as well as opposing state constitution which led to this group disbandment in 2020. After being disbanded, this group quietly formed Front Persaudaraan Islam (Neo-FPI) during COVID-19 and operated secretly through religious activities. The momentum of Neo FPI appeared publicly comes in 2022 when they took to the street for complaining the Minister of Religious Affairs’ comment of call for prayer, widely known as adzan. This study aimed at exploring how Neo-FPI responds and transforms after being dissolved constitutionally by the government and to what extent this rebirth is accepted by the Muslim community. The emergence of Neo-FPI can be interpreted by Sydney Tarrow (1998) as a puzzle of political opportunity. The social movement increased when it gained the support of resources and successfully mobilized the resource. The result of the study shows that the Neo-FPI might try to attempt on humanistic approach and moderation within the religious movement. However, substantially this group will not be different from the old version like an apple that falls not far from the tree.
