Abstract

Ulama in Aceh face significant challenges in integrating gender perspectives into their da'wah practices. The dominance of patriarchal culture and limited gender literacy often leads to the reinforcement rather than the deconstruction of gender stereotypes. This study employs a socio-religious approach to examine how ulama, as central figures in society, simultaneously sustain and contest social constructions that restrict gender roles—using qualitative methods including in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of da'wah documents. The study finds that da'wah narratives frequently reproduce socially and religiously legitimized gender stereotypes. Nevertheless, some ulama have initiated efforts to challenge these norms by offering more inclusive and gender-just interpretations, aligning with the spirit of rahmatan lil 'alamin. The findings suggest ulama's role extends beyond preserving traditional values to acting as agents of change who can facilitate social transformation through gender-responsive da'wah. Achieving such a transformation requires synergy between ulama, communities, and progressive socio-religious policies to balance religious principles with social justice. This study underscores the importance of continuous dialogue and collaboration among ulama, educational institutions, and women's rights advocates to promote inclusivity within religious contexts. By integrating gender-sensitive approaches into religious discourse and curricula, sustainable progress toward equality can be fostered. Ultimately, the research emphasises that ulama's engagement in these efforts is vital for building a more inclusive, equitable society in Aceh and potentially beyond.

Abstract

This article reconceptualizes da’wah as a civilizational infrastructure that integrates spiritual guidance with intellectual and technological advancement within the Aceh–Türkiye transregional network. Using an exploratory qualitative approach, the study draws on archival letters, classical Islamic texts, and ethnographic insights from pesantren, majlis taklīm, and Sufi ṭarīqas to explore how religious devotion historically intersected with knowledge production and social transformation. The research finds that sixteenth-century exchanges between Aceh and the Ottoman Empire included both religious manuscripts and maritime innovations, underpinned by a shared Islamic worldview. Contemporary Acehnese pesantren continue this legacy by combining traditional Islamic education with subjects such as astronomy, mathematics, and governance. The study introduces the concept of “civilizational da’wah” to highlight its function as a dynamic system of intellectual mobility, ethical leadership formation, and social resilience—beyond ritual preaching. This model advances Islamic epistemology by integrating civilizational theory and network methodologies. Practically, it offers a framework for educators, policymakers, and religious leaders to embed spiritual depth and intellectual vitality into Islamic education while shaping future-oriented fields such as Islamic fintech, AI ethics, and global Islamic governance.
