Result – Da'is (Islamic preacher) in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan face several challenges in spreading Islam, such as: (1) The World Trade Center incident in the United States on September 11, 2001 which negatively impacted the image of Islam among East Asia society; (2) Problems related to funerals; (3) Difficulty in finding a place to perform ablution; (4) Difficulties in integrating Islamic values into East Asia traditions, and; (5) The difficulty of the older generation in passing on Islamic knowledge to the younger generation. Implication – This research could encourage: (1) Train and empower Muslim youth in the region so that they can develop a da'wah approach that integrates Islamic teachings with culture and technology, as well as have broad insights and always follow the latest developments; (2) Understand the characteristics, interests, and needs of the local community; (3) Linking Islamic teachings to relevant social issues and offering inspiring solutions, and; (4) Muslims in the region are expected to demonstrate good behaviour and be consistent with the Islamic teachings they preach. Originality/Value – The novelty of this study lies in the more comprehensive and up-to-date presentation of the dynamics of Islam in East Asia, especially related to da'wah challenges and strategies in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. With a focus on a wide period, from 1950 to 2025, this study not only provides insight into the changing attitudes and acceptance of Islam by society but also presents recommendations for developing more effective da'wah strategies in the future. *** Tujuan – Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi berbagai tantangan dan perkembangan da'wah Islam kontemporer di Jepang, Korea Selatan, dan Taiwan.

Abstract

The Battle of Tjiater Pass (March 5–7, 1942) was a brief but strategically significant engagement in the Japanese campaign in West Java. This study analyzes the operational strategy employed by Japanese forces and examines how the tactical collapse of Dutch defenses at Tjiater contributed to the Dutch capitulation at Kalidjati. Using the historical method and a qualitative approach, the study draws primarily on Japanese operational records, including Japanese Monograph No. 66 and the official Japanese war history of the Dutch East Indies campaign, together with Dutch and Allied materials. The findings show that Japanese success depended on operational tempo, infiltration and flanking maneuvers, the exploitation of difficult terrain, and coordinated air-ground pressure. The fall of Tjiater and subsequently Lembang undermined the defense of Bandung and accelerated the decision to capitulate, although this decision must be understood within the wider collapse of Allied positions across Java.
