<![CDATA[Pesantren are obligated to extend their role as institutions of da'wah and community empowerment, yet how they conduct da'wah in immediately neighbouring conservative rural villages remains poorly documented. This study analysed the da'wah methods of La-Tansa Islamic Boarding School toward Banjar Irigasi village, Banten, and explored their perceived influence on village development. A qualitative descriptive design with a historical approach was applied; data were collected in October 2017 through structured interviews with 11 informants, observation, and document analysis, and were analysed through reduction, display, and verification with triangulation. La-Tansa's da'wah was dominated by bil-hal (action-based) methods, including support for constructing 20 prayer houses. Villagers participated more as workers (80 people, approximately 1.4% of residents) than as students (29) or teachers (four). Influence was perceived across education, economy, social life, and religious understanding. The pesantren workplace functioned as an unplanned da'wah channel, indicating the need for systematic documentation and structured community da'wah programmes.]]>
