Metode Dakwah Nabi Musa Terhadap Fir’au Dan Kaumnya

Abstract

This study is motivated by the importance of understanding the da‘wah (preaching/missionary) methods employed by Prophet Moses (Musa a.s.) toward Pharaoh and the Children of Israel, illustrating how the approach was tailored to the specific characteristics of the target audience. The study aims to describe and analyze Prophet Moses’s da‘wah methods, their application to audiences with differing characteristics, and the similarities and differences in the approaches taken toward Pharaoh and the Children of Israel. A qualitative approach was adopted, utilizing library research and a thematic exegesis (tafsir maudhu‘i) methodology. Primary data consisted of Quranic verses regarding Prophet Moses’s da‘wah, while secondary data were drawn from relevant scholarly literature. Data analysis involved content analysis, thematic exegesis, and comparative analysis. The findings indicate that Prophet Moses’s da‘wah methods encompassed both da‘wah bil lisan (preaching through speech) and da‘wah bil hal (preaching through action/conduct). Da‘wah bil lisan was characterized by communication that was gentle, persuasive, clear, argumentative, and firm; meanwhile, da‘wah bil hal was manifested through courage, patience, steadfastness, obedience to Allah (SWT), and concrete actions taken to champion the cause of the Children of Israel. Differences in the characteristics of the audience necessitated adjustments to the da‘wah approach. Thus, Prophet Moses’s da‘wah methods were persuasive, contextual, and adaptive, without compromising fundamental da‘wah principles.
