Abstract
The aim of this paper is to discuss some kinds of da‘wah (preaching) in Indonesia that emphasize not only their identities, but also their creativities in adopting various values and principles embraced by Indonesian Muslims. This paper argues that these da‘wah activities constitute the searches of most suitable Indonesian Islamic principles that inevitably include the negotiation of Islamic, global, and local values. This paper shows examples of various international and Indonesian Islamic scholars and leaders who change social, political, and religious rhetorical landscape through various arguments involving especially Islamic and modern-international values. Based on literature reviews and observations on local Javanese da‘wah activities, this paper contends that in addition to Muslims’ exposure to modern global principles such as democracy and human rights, the increasing popularity and resilience of local-traditional rituals, performances, and expressions in Indonesian da‘wah have significantly shaped the search of the Indonesian Islamic noble values.
