Theological Perils of Liberalism In Indonesian Islamic Dawah: A Historical and Strategic Analysis
Keywords:
Theological Perils, Liberalism of Indonesian, Islamic DawahAbstract
Liberalism is a concept that emphasizes the importance of individual freedom to grow and develop without constraints imposed by ideology, society, culture, religion, or politics. Within the context of Islam, liberalism is frequently perceived as a challenge to religious principles, beliefs, and acts of worship. The emergence of liberalism as a philosophical discourse that infiltrates religious thought represents a significant external challenge today. This article serves as a literature review examining liberalism as a hurdle for da'wah in the era of globalization, employing qualitative methods and literature analysis. An examination of various sources indicates that, in this globalized age, access to information is becoming increasingly unrestricted and readily available. In this advancing era, liberal ideology is influencing all demographics, including the Muslim community. The interpretation and understanding of freedom of expression have led to numerous deviations, among the repercussions of liberalism. This presents a unique challenge for da'wah in the digital age, which can be addressed through the effective use of mass media. For instance, preachers need to leverage mass media as a platform for da'wah. In this context, these individuals must grasp the diverse media landscape that characterizes the current digital era.
