Abstract

Prolonged conflicts in the Middle East have created an urgent need for culturally-grounded peacebuilding strategies, within which Islamic preaching (dakwah) emerges as a potential medium for fostering reconciliation—though its discursive mechanisms remain understudied. This study investigates how dakwah constructs peace-oriented discourse in conflict-affected societies, including Palestine, Syria, and Iraq, by examining its linguistic, narrative, and ideological dimensions. Employing a qualitative critical case study design and Van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), we analyzed over sixty sermons, digital content, and interviews with preachers and peace actors from 2021 to 2024. The findings reveal that dakwah actively constructs counter-narratives of justice, compassion, and reconciliation; employs rhetorical strategies such as inclusive pronouns, healing metaphors, and jihad reinterpretation to reframe conflict and promote social cohesion; and positions religious actors as cultural mediators who utilize both sermons and digital platforms to disseminate peace messages. The study concludes that dakwah serves as a transformative form of communication capable of challenging hegemonic conflict narratives. It further proposes a novel CDA-Based Peace Dakwah Framework, offering scholars and practitioners an interdisciplinary tool for peacebuilding, conflict resolution, and Islamic communication studies. This replicable model highlights the potential of religious discourse as soft power in global peacebuilding efforts.

Abstract

The development of Islamic preaching continues to change. The transformation of Islamic preaching by Islamic religious instructors is an important part of the Ministry of Religious Affairs' response to the socio-religious dynamics in Indonesia. This transformation positions Islamic preachers as social facilitators and agents of change who not only convey religious teachings but also mediate conflicts, strengthen tolerance, and empower communities. The transformation of Islamic preaching by Islamic preachers is a strategic step in improving the quality of religious guidance amidst social changes in society. This study focuses on the implementation of the Ministry of Religious Affairs' extension policy in Pondok Melati District, Bekasi City, an area with growing religious dynamics and social diversity. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through field observations, interviews with functional and non-functional religious instructors, and a review of extension program documents at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA). The results show that the transformation of Islamic preaching in Pondok Melati is characterized by a shift in approach from lecture-based preaching to a model of mentoring and community empowerment. Extension preaching functions as a bridge between state policy and the real needs of the people, thus strengthening the role of religion as a transformative force in socio-religious development in Indonesia.
