Keywords: Cultural Da'wah. Wayang Aji. Millennial Introduction The main challenge for the millennial generation in digital development is not to get carried away and become victims of the negative side of technological progress which is feared to have 291 | AJIS : Academic Journal of Islamic Studies, vol. 8, no. 2, 2023 implications for the formation of rigid, pragmatic and individualistic individuals who are indifferent to the social environment. Seeing this. Ki Miko Cakcoy, who is a preacher, uses a cultural approach so that the tausiyah he conveys is understood, accepted and saves mileage from the negative side of the media. Ki Miko Cakcoy made Wayang Aji a cultural da'wah as a science that could be developed and evaluated. So it seems rational in millennial understanding. In this way, da'wah is not left behind by the times and is in line with the millennial era. Ki Miko Cakcoy uses Wayang Aji, which is a performance art that displays shadow puppets like shadow puppets, but the story content is specifically taken from Islamic teachings which are adapted to the conditions of contemporary society. Wayang Aji is the artistic creation of a talented young figure in the field of puppetry, who at the same time has the spirit of a santri and usually performs as a preacher in society. He is the Miftahul Choir. In fact, wayang aji is present as a traditional art performance, like wayang kulit in general, which is known as a richness of Javanese culture in the field of traditional arts. Based on previous researcher Eko Setiawan, wayang continues to develop from time to time and has the function of being a medium of information, da'wah, education, entertainment, as well as the philosophical values contained in wayang which always invites people to do good according to the principles of da'wah. 1 Wayang and Art Meanwhile, according to Bayu Anggoro, wayang is a performing art and a means of Da'wah. 2 Anisul Fuad in his research entitled Ki Enthus Susmono's wayang santri da'wah strategy concluded that Ki Enthus Susmono changed the name of Wayang golek to Wayang Santri, on the grounds that Wayang Santri was only used for broadcasting or preaching Islam as a da'wah approach. 3 This research is different from the research mentioned above, which focuses on examining the Eko Setiawan,"Nilai Filosofi Wayang Kulit sebagai Media Dakwah.

Shinta Nurrohmah: Dakwah Kultural Era Millenial | 292 rationality elements of ki Miko Cakcoy in using Wayang Aji as a cultural da'wah to millennials. In the past, many folk arts were used to preach in society and were considered effective. That is what is often referred to as cultural da'wah, da'wah using cultural media. At that time, culture was a choice because culture, with its various aspects, was very closely linked to people's lives. Moreover, in a situation where people are still very unfamiliar with Islamic teachings, this da'wah model is considered the most suitable for bringing people closer to Islamic teachings. That is what gave birth to a series of cultures that were deliberately created by past preachers. In Java, the history of the Wali Songo was very much remembered until then, because they had contributed to Islamizing the land of Java through various arts, including wayang which still survives to this day. In accordance with the existing social and cultural situation. Islamic values are developing in Java,4 very suitable to be introduced to cultural da'wah methods. Now Islam, which has developed on a cultural basis, has emerged as a spiritually oriented mercy for all nature, 5 as well as a tool for social change, 6 Islam is taught by prioritizing the teachings of social piety. 7 Social ethics and good ways of living in society are taught based on Islamic teachings. 8 Such cultural da'wah is a form of invitation to society that is based on love.

In the case of Java, for example, artistic performances such as kethoprak, wayang orang, wayang kulit, ludruk, tayub, etc. are increasingly rare to see. Many professional shadow puppet masters currently lack a place to play this art. People now enjoy various contemporary entertainment, which is more rational, adapts to developments and technology. Tourist attractions that provide photo spots are more of a choice for people to relax. Technology-based, games and social media are the simplest options that can be accessed at any Wayang Aji was created in order to combine the spirit of Wali Songo with his preaching achievements in the past with the conditions of today's rational and modern society. From a traditional perspective, all the wayang equipment and performance models are not much different from the shadow puppets left by their ancestors in Java. What's interesting is that Wayang Aji can exist today, which is characterized by a fairly dense performance frequency. At each stage. Islamic-based teachings of goodness are packaged in such a way that they are able to attract enthusiastic audiences. This is what attracts the author to discuss wayang aji as a model for preaching based on traditional culture in the modern era. Moreover. Islamic values developed in Java,10 very suitable to be introduced to cultural da'wah methods.

The arts and culture da'wah approach exemplified by Wali Songo needs to continue to be popularized among the millennial generation. This is because of the phenomenon of the influx of various arts, culture and technology from various regions and even nations which is slowly Shinta Nurrohmah.

Islam as a religion and the local culture that surrounds it as well as the existence of a legitimate legal basis from syara' in the form of 'urf and maslahah. 32 Therefore, a strategy for developing Islamic culture in Indonesia that is multi-ethnic and cultural, a cultural approach without abandoning the values of the spirit of the Koran is the best way. Islamization does not have to be Arabization, because Islam is a religion that is comprehensive in culture, attitudes and mentality. 34 This is reflected in the components of da'wah bil hikmah and mau'idzoh hasanah which are highly respected in the heterogeneous Mad'u Currently the da'wah is being carried out by one of the da'I and millennial dhalang Miftakhul Khoir or who is often known as Ki Miko Cakcoy, preaching while "ndhalang" using a community approach method or by understanding the situation and conditions of his mad'u.

Da'wah activities are a social engineering process that is carried out continuously and in a planned manner to direct humans, both individually and in groups, to be able to think rationally and behave proportionally in carrying out their lives on Meanwhile, the definition of cultural da'wah or da'wah which includes elements of art, culture and customs is a type of da'wah that sees the potential and tendency of society as cultural creatures to create an alternative Islamic culture that is cultured and civilized and imbued with knowledge, appreciation and application of Islamic teachings from Al- Qur'an and Sunnah. 40 According to Hussein Umar, cultural da'wah is a reflection of the 'wah' wah understanding, approach and methodology.

In this case, cultural da'wah is not only defined as da'wah that uses cultural means, but also how preachers can adapt to the conditions of society's habits or mad'u. Cultural da'wah can also be a solution to human problems, both between individuals and between groups.

According to Ki Miko Cakcoy in an interview session, shadow puppetry must continue to be developed and popular among the millennial generation with packaging appropriate to their age because wayang is an effective art for reciting the Al-QurAoan. Uploading wayangaji performance content on YouTube, making recaps of wayangaji performances and uploading them on social media such as TikTok and Instagram, are forms of supporting strategies so that young people from the millennial generation can also access wayangaji as a medium for receiving da'wah messages. Ki Miko Cakcoy deliberately involved social media because social media is a close friend of today's millennial generation, so using a social media approach to disseminate wayangaji content is considered to be an effective and efficient solution.

Da'wah Challenges Faced As Ki Miko Cakcoy said in his interview, "preaching kui is easy, easy, angel" sometimes there are mad'u who are annoying. Once upon a time, he was holding a wayang performance as well as conducting a study in a village where the residents still often played gambling, playing cards and also drank alcohol. 52 Responding to the condition of society which still carries out the traditions of gambling, cockfighting, playing playing cards is inseparable from the condition of jahiliyah society during the early period of the Prophet Muhammad SAW's preaching. When this interaction occurred, there were at least three approaches taken by the Prophet Muhammad SAW in responding to the traditions and culture of the Jahiliyah Arab society. First, takmil, namely Islam as a religion that perfects traditions and culture that have been carried out for generations by Arab society. Second, taghyir, namely changing or reconstructing traditions and culture that have been implemented in a manner that is in accordance with the values of Islamic teachings. Third. Cakcoy.

Ay Shinta Nurrohmah: Dakwah Kultural Era Millenial | 308 tahrim, namely Islam, prohibits ordering traditions that exist in Jahiliyah society to be abandoned because they substantively conflict with the principles of Islamic teachings, such as worshiping idols, drinking alcohol and so on. Due to the condition of society which still behaves in ignorance, the content of the wayang stories that they present for da'wah is no longer about providing arguments from the Koran or teachings that talk too much about haram and halal.

The da'wah he does is not forced, if you want, please do so, it's not up to you. Sometimes you also get mad'u who have different understandings from the da'i and have many wishes. Differences in understanding are indeed one of the main challenges of da'wah among da'Is, especially if those who are mad'u actually invite debate and are eager to do so. According to Ki Miko Cakcoy, this is a common thing, just how the da'i can make the mad'u not feel blamed or justified, so the wa Jadilhum billathi hiya ahsan method is very suitable for dealing with mad'u like Trying to restore moderate Islam without abandoning local wisdom traditions as a cultural heritage is the main goal when facing the challenge of da'wah in terms of the emergence of new religious ideologies that have many promises even though their foundations are not yet clear. Cakcoy's efforts as a young preacher in this regard were also carried out to stem the flow of new ideologies that gave rise to Khoiro Ummatin.
