Abstract

This study explores the cultural and traditional Islamic political da’wah represented by KH. Asnawi, a conventional scholar who integrated da’wah, education, and socio-political activism within the context of Dutch colonialism. The research addresses the need to reinterpret da’wah not only as a religious activity but as a form of political communication that nurtures social awareness and cultural resistance. The study focuses on how KH. Asnawi integrated da’wah, education, and organizational activism to strengthen Islamic identity and mobilize collective resistance. Using a qualitative method that combines historical and documentary approaches, the analysis draws on texts such as Fasholatan, archival sources, and organizational records. The findings show that KH. Asnawi employed cultural and persuasive communication strategies through poetry, madrasah education, and Islamic organizations (Sarekat Islam and Nahdlatul Ulama). His da’wah functioned at cognitive, affective, and behavioral levels, transforming individual piety into social solidarity. Viewed through Social Penetration Theory and Persuasive Communication Theory, his strategy demonstrates how religious communication can evolve from emotional engagement to political mobilization. The study contributes to the scholarship of Islamic communication by revealing da’wah as a contextual and transformative process that bridges spirituality, culture, and social change.

Abstract

Abstract. This article examines the process of gender norm reconstruction in Saudi Arabia within the framework of Vision 2030, focusing on the state's strategy of selectively liberalizing culture to support its authoritarian modernization project. In the conservative Wahhabi tradition, women's positions have been limited by legal, social, and religious structures. However, since 2016, under the leadership of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi government has initiated a series of reforms that have allowed women to drive, work in the public sector, and access entertainment and cultural spaces. This article uses a qualitative-analytical approach with an exploratory-descriptive design through discourse and policy analysis, as well as a theoretical framework of modernization, state feminism, and ideological control in authoritarian states. It was found that gender reforms in Vision 2030 are not merely a form of emancipation, but rather a state strategy to build new legitimacy, attract global investment, and reframe national identity without overhauling the authoritarian political order. This study makes an important contribution to understanding the dynamics of gender in contemporary Muslim societies and development politics in the Gulf region.   Abstrak. Artikel ini mengkaji proses rekonstruksi norma gender di Arab Saudi dalam kerangka Visi 2030, dengan fokus pada strategi negara dalam meliberalisasi budaya secara selektif untuk menopang proyek modernisasi otoriter. Dalam tradisi Wahhabisme yang konservatif, posisi perempuan selama ini dibatasi oleh struktur hukum, sosial, dan religius. Namun sejak 2016, di bawah kepemimpinan Putra Mahkota Mohammed bin Salman, pemerintah Saudi menginisiasi serangkaian reformasi yang mengizinkan perempuan untuk mengemudi, bekerja di sektor publik, serta mengakses ruang hiburan dan budaya. Artikel ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif-analitis dengan desain eksploratif-deskriptif melalui analisis wacana dan kebijakan, serta kerangka teori modernisasi, feminisme negara, dan kontrol ideologis dalam negara otoriter. Ditemukan bahwa reformasi gender dalam Visi 2030 bukan semata bentuk emansipasi, melainkan strategi negara untuk membangun legitimasi baru, menarik investasi global, dan membingkai ulang identitas nasional tanpa merombak tatanan politik yang otoriter. Kajian ini memberikan kontribusi penting dalam memahami dinamika gender di masyarakat Muslim kontemporer dan politik pembangunan di kawasan Teluk.
