Abstract

The purpose of this research is to provide an alternative solution for ecological-based Da’wah in the efforts to protect the environmental destruction in the city of Ambon. Ambon is a region surrounded by hills that are prone to disasters such as landslides and floods. Ecological-based da’wah is considered an alternative solution to instill environmental values in the community for environmental conservation.This research is a qualitative descriptive type supported by quantitative data by using phenomenological approach. This research locates in the city of Ambon. Observation, interviews, questionnaires, documentation, and Delphi technique are used to collect the data related to the research questions. The data then are analyzed by using the following phases:  data reduction, data presentation, interpretation, and drawing conclusions.The study identified at least five alternative solutions for ecological da’wah in environmental conservation efforts in Ambon, namely: implementation of "dakwah bil hal" (preaching by action), maximizing the use of media, changing preaching strategies, applying conservation concepts, and enforcing environmental laws. Among these solutions, it is found that the most effective alternative solution is the maximal use of media by publicizing the importance of preserving the environment. The implications of this research suggest that the government of Ambon, religious leaders, and environmental stakeholders should make efforts to use media to the fullest extent and educate the public about the environment through mass media or social media.Keywords: the city of Ambon, ecological based da’wah, environmental conservation.

Abstract

This study investigates congregants’ perceptions of the presence and function of mosque libraries and examines the factors that influence their effectiveness as centers of Islamic literacy. A qualitative research design was employed in three major mosques in South Sulawesi: the 99 Domes Asmaul Husna Mosque in Makassar, the Syekh Yusuf Lakiung Mosque in Gowa, and the Grand Mosque of Maros. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with eight purposively selected participants, and analysis of library management documentation. The findings reveal that although congregants generally demonstrate strong awareness of mosque libraries, their actual engagement with these facilities remains limited. Some view the library as an important source of religious knowledge, while others rely more heavily on oral learning through sermons. Several factors were identified as barriers to optimal use, including limited accessibility, lack of promotion, unattractive physical environments, and outdated collections. In addition, the absence of qualified librarians hinders effective management and the sustainability of literacy programs. The implications of this study suggest that mosque library management should focus on strengthening community outreach, improving facilities and services, regularly updating collections, and integrating digital resources to attract younger audiences. Overall, the findings highlight the untapped potential of mosque libraries as community-based centers of Islamic literacy that can foster lifelong religious learning, promote a culture of reading among Muslims, and enhance the mosque’s educational and social roles within society.
