<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the importance of understanding the genealogy of thought concerning dakwah institutions through tracing the historical development and institutional transformation of dakwah from the classical, modern, to the contemporary period. This study aims to explain how dakwah institutions were formed, developed, and adapted to social, political, and technological changes in each phase of Islamic history. This study used a qualitative approach with a secondary data analysis method through a historical-philosophical approach to examine the dynamics of thought and practice of dakwah institutions. The results of the study show that in the classical period, dakwah institutions were centered on the mosque institution, which functioned as a center of worship, education, and community organization since the time of the Prophet. During the Khulafaur Rasyidin period, dakwah began to undergo a process of institutionalization through strengthening the structure of government, managing community administration, and expanding Islamic territory, which encouraged the emergence of more organized dakwah mechanisms. Entering the modern period, various dakwah institutions emerged, such as Muhammadiyah, Nahdlatul Ulama, Persatuan Islam, and Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia, which brought diverse patterns of thought, methods, and dakwah strategies in accordance with their respective ideological and social orientations. Meanwhile, in the contemporary era, dakwah institutions underwent transformation through institutional professionalization, the digitalization of dakwah media, and the strengthening of global networks. However, these developments also gave rise to various problems, such as the commercialization of dakwah, the fragmentation of religious authority, and challenges in maintaining the substance of dakwah values amid the development of modern society’s thought. This study emphasizes that the genealogy of thought concerning dakwah institutions shows continuity, change, and dynamic adaptation in accordance with the historical context, while also expanding understanding of the development of dakwah institutions in Muslim society.]]>
