Revitalisasi Kegiatan Dakwah dalam Pembentukan Karakter Sosial Masyarakat Desa Darussalam

Abstract

Changes in social life due to the development of technology and modernity have created challenges to social concern, solidarity, and interaction among community members. In this context, Islamic preaching activities should not merely focus on delivering religious messages but also contribute to shaping people's social behaviour and character. This study aims to analyse the forms of revitalization of Islamic preaching activities in Darussalam Village, their contribution to the development of community social character, and the supporting and inhibiting factors in their implementation. This research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving religious leaders, Islamic preachers, religious activity organizers, and community members as informants. The findings indicate that the revitalization of Islamic preaching activities is carried out through strengthening preaching methods, developing materials related to social life, increasing community participation, and integrating religious values with social activities. These activities contribute to the development of social character, including concern for others, mutual cooperation, solidarity, responsibility, and mutual respect. Supporting factors include the involvement of religious leaders and community enthusiasm, while inhibiting factors include limited time and community members' busy schedules. Therefore, revitalizing Islamic preaching activities can serve as an effective strategy to strengthen the social character of the Darussalam Village community
