DAKWAH KULTURAL DAN SENI-BUDAYA DALAM GERAKAN MUHAMMADIYAH

Abstract

As Islamic missionary endeavor and reform, Muhammadiyah always evaluates its steps in missionary endeavor. The birth of cultural missionary endeavor concept that has been emerged in Tanwir Meeting in Bali, January 2002 and it was decided as the official decision in the Tanwir Meeting in Ujung Pandang, June, 2003 is one of the concrete forms in the efforts of the renewal steps in Muhammadiyah missionary endeavor. But controversy cannot be hindered because it looks as if Muhammadiyah cultural missionary endeavor became accommodative toward TBC (superstition, heresy, and myth) that attach on most local cultures. This article intends to (1) dig the right meaning of the cultural missionary endeavor terminology, (2) give direction that every renewal effort and the perfection of the steps in Muhammadiyah missionary endeavor must be in the frame of tabsyir, islah , and tajdid , and (3) by the right understanding, make up the concrete steps in developing missionary endeavor network that is based on Al-Qur’an and the Sunnah.
