Paradigma Dakwah Inklusif Habib Ja’far Al-Hadar: Sebuah Studi Pustaka atas Narasi Keislaman Moderat

Abstract

This study aims to examine the paradigm of inclusive da‘wah developed by Habib Husein Ja‘far Al-Hadar in constructing a narrative of moderate Islam in the contemporary public sphere. The focus of the analysis is directed toward how values of inclusivity, tolerance, and humanism are articulated and disseminated through his da‘wah practices, particularly in digital media. This research employs a qualitative library research method by examining Habib Ja‘far’s written works, peer-reviewed journal articles, books, and recent academic publications related to inclusive da‘wah and religious moderation. Data analysis is conducted using content analysis to identify narrative patterns, dominant themes, and the conceptual framework underlying his da‘wah approach. The findings indicate that Habib Ja‘far’s da‘wah represents a model of moderate Islamic preaching that emphasizes dialogue, empathy, and respect for diversity. His inclusive da‘wah is not normative-dogmatic in nature, but dialogical and reflective, enabling it to reach audiences across diverse social and religious backgrounds, particularly among younger generations. The strategic use of digital platforms serves as an effective medium for conveying contextual Islamic messages without diminishing their theological substance. These findings further suggest that inclusive da‘wah plays a significant role in fostering peaceful and ethical religious awareness within pluralistic societies. The study contributes theoretically to the development of contemporary da‘wah studies by strengthening the discourse on inclusive da‘wah as an alternative paradigm to exclusivist religious narratives. Practically, this research is expected to serve as a reference for preachers, scholars, and religious institutions in formulating da‘wah strategies that are responsive to social and cultural challenges in modern society.
