Abstract
This study aims to analyze the planning, organizing, implementation, financing, as well as supporting and inhibiting factors of Jamaah Tabligh’s da’wah management in improving Islamic education in the Indonesia–Malaysia border region. The research employs a qualitative approach with a field study method through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The findings reveal that: (1) the planning of Jamaah Tabligh’s da’wah is multilayered, beginning from the central leadership in India, then at the national, and local levels, with deliberation (musyawarah) as the main instrument; (2) organizing is both charismatic and decentralized with collective leadership; (3) implementation is systematically carried out through bayan, ta’lim, musyawarah, and khuruj activities consistently in the border area; (4) financing is derived from members’ self-funding and voluntary community support, in line with a voluntary-based funding model; and (5) supporting factors include clear immigration regulations, mosque networks, and social support, while inhibiting factors consist of economic limitations, community resistance, and strict visa regulations. The study concludes that Jamaah Tabligh’s da’wah management at the border is participatory, flexible, and based on members’ self-reliance. The implication is that this practice can serve as a model of sustainable community da'wah management despite limited resources, while also opening opportunities for further research on evaluation and systematic reporting of da'wah management.
