Background of the Problem Islam is a religion that is rahmatan lil alamin, which prioritizes compassion for the entire universe (Lukman 2. Therefore.

Understanding the situation and condition of Mad'u holistically is very urgent because it will be the basis for a preacher in planning his preaching. materials, methods, strategies and media for preaching. With careful and thorough planning, it is hoped that da'wah activities will run effectively and da'wah materials can have a significant influence on Mad'u's attitudes and behavior. The command to preach is conveyed in the Koran in QS Saba . : 28, that Allah sent Rasulullah SAW to give good news to people who believe and practice the message he brought and to bring a warning to people who deny or reject his teachings. In QS Ali Imran . : 104, every Muslim is ordered to invite society to do good and prevent evil (Religion of the Republic of Indonesia 2. Meanwhile, in QS An Nahl . :125.

AuCall . to the path of your Lord with wisdom and good teaching, and argue with them in a good way. "Indeed, your Lord. He is the one who knows better who PROCEEDING Al Ghazali Internasional Conference Volume 1. Desember 2024 The Future is Now: Adaptation to the WorldAos Emerging Technologies PROCEEDING Al Ghazali Internasional Conference e-issn. goes astray from His path and He is the one who knows better who is guided" (Religion of the Republic of Indonesia 2. The verse above provides guidance on the implementation of da'wah which must be carried out in good ways, using appropriate methods based on the results of analysis of the mad'u and in accordance with the real needs of the mad'u . In planning his preaching, a preacher is required to recognize the conditions of Mad'u society, such as. the problems being faced, psychological situation, educational and cultural background that surrounds his life, with the aim that the preacher can formulate a communication strategy for his preaching. Sufficient knowledge and observations regarding the community he is dealing with will be the basis for a preacher's consideration in designing various series of da'wah activities that are well adapted to the needs and interests of the Mad'u community. Designing da'wah activities. determining suitable material, choosing the right way or method and measuring the estimated success of da'wah are things that are urgently done by preachers so that da'wah becomes actual, factual and contextual, becoming a strategic part of da'wah activities. Because da'wah activities must always be current, factual and contextual. Actual in the sense of solving current problems currently being faced by Factual in the sense of concrete and real, and contextual in the sense that it is relevant and concerns the problems currently being faced by society. Thus, da'wah must be developed through various strategic approaches so that the goals of da'wah can be achieved according to the hopes and ideals of society. KH Chasbullah Badawi started carrying out intense da'wah activities at the end of 1968 until he died in 2017 in Cilacap Regency. He carries out da'wah with various da'wah approaches such as education, economic empowerment of farming communities, joint waqf, recitation of the Koran, tariqah and other activities. after returning from a trip to study at Langitan. East Java and studying in Jakarta. At the time he started his preaching, in Kesugihan village and even in Kesugihan sub-district there were no formal or non-formal secondary education institutions except the Al Ihya Ulumaddin Islamic Boarding School which was founded by his father. KH. Badawi Hanafi. The only educational institution available is elementary school (SD) where he received his basic education. On the other hand, the economic growth of the community is also low because the market as the center of economic interaction is only in the Kesugihan sub-district which operates every 5 days, namely every Kliwon (Java marke. One of the factors behind Kesugihan village is that the PROCEEDING Al Ghazali Internasional Conference Volume 1. Desember 2024 PROCEEDING Al Ghazali Internasional Conference The Future is Now: Adaptation to the WorldAos Emerging Technologies e-issn. location of the village is remote and transportation is cut off from routes to Purwokerto and other districts. The implications of this remote location are not only the slow and static economic growth of the Kesugihan village community, but also the impact on the decline in educational activities. From the situation and conditions of the Kesugihan sub-district community who are left behind in the economic, social and educational fields, what is his da'wah communication strategy in calling and awakening the Kesugihan community to its current condition, where there are formal educational institutions that he founded from early childhood education (PAUD/TK) to higher education? reaching 50 units accommodated in the Ittihadul Islamiyah Welfare Agency Foundation (BAKII Foundatio. Joint Waqf Board. Farmers' Association, etc. This question will be the focus of this research. This research will explore the background to KH Chasbullah Badawi's da'wah communication strategy in Kesugihan village and what strategies KH Chasbullah Badawi uses in Cilacap Regency in carrying out da'wah communications.

In the study conducted by Laeli Romidhotun, the focus was on the education that KH Badawi Hanafi had taken, starting from elementary school, education at Islamic boarding schools and education at universities in Jakarta. However, the researcher did not touch on the da'wah communication strategy carried out by KH. Chasbullah Badawi. A study conducted by Bustanul Arifin.

Desember 2024 PROCEEDING Al Ghazali Internasional Conference The Future is Now: Adaptation to the WorldAos Emerging Technologies e-issn. Thus, the research on the communication strategy of KH. Chasbullah Badawi's da'wah is different from the studies above, because the research on the communication strategy of KH Chasbullah Badawi's da'wah in Cilacap Regency focuses on how KH. Chasbullah Badawi's strategy in providing stimuli to the community in the form of education, economic empowerment of the Kesugihan sub-district community and also managing the Al Ihya Ulumaddin Kesugihan Islamic boarding school.

Mustopo Beragama University. Jakarta until he obtained a BA (Bachelor of Arts-bachelor's degre. This persistence can be seen from his efforts to finance his own higher education without asking for remittances from his parents. Therefore, the parents (KH Badawi Hanafi and Nyai Aisyah Badriya. did not know that their son was pursuing higher education (Husna PROCEEDING Al Ghazali Internasional Conference Volume 1. Desember 2024 PROCEEDING Al Ghazali Internasional Conference The Future is Now: Adaptation to the WorldAos Emerging Technologies e-issn. This persistence in education will later have a positive impact on the dynamics of education and community development not only in Cilacap Regency and around Cilacap but also regencies/cities in several provinces in Indonesia. After returning from education in Jakarta, he married the daughter of KH Nadzir Kebarongan Banyumas, named Nyai Salamah in 1967 and had 10 sons and daughters. Since returning to the village. KH Chasbullah saw, observed and observed that the remote village of Kesugihan, separated from other villages and sub-districts, caused very little access to trade and education. Traders from outside Kesugihan could not enter Kesugihan, and vice versa, traders from Kesugihan could not carry out trade transactions outside, because there were no transportation facilities and infrastructure that did not yet exist. While secondary education facilities are only available in the city of Cilacap, so only children from certain circles are able to reach and enjoy secondary education. This situation encouraged KH Chasbullah Badawi to establish a junior high school, namely SMP Ya BAKII in 1968. SMP Ya BAKII is the first secondary school to be established in Kesugihan sub-district, and immediately received a positive response from the community. Dengan demikian, penelitian Strategi komunikasi dakwah KH. Chasbullah Badawi berbeda dengan penelitian-penelitian di atas, karena penelitian strategi komunikasi dakwah KH Chasbullah Badawi di kabupaten Cilacap focus kepada bagaimana strategi KH. Chasbullah Badawi dalam memberikan stimulus-stimulus kepada masyarakat berupa pendidikan, pemberdayaan ekonomi masyarakat kecamatan Kesugihan dan juga mengelola pondok pesantren Al Ihya Ulumaddin Kesugihan Kabupaten Cilacap.

Involvement in various organizations is an important factor for him in carrying out a strategy for communicating da'wah with various groups in society, so that he is able to provide solutions faced by the Kesugihan community. The mounting busyness does not make KH Chasbullah free from scientific works in the form of books. His works Pedoman Pengamal Thoriqoh . Syukur dan Taubat . ranslated boo. While the monumental works and are much needed by society today are IAIIG and UNUGHA and Wakaf Bersama. Understanding of the Dakwah Communication Strategy comes from the Greek word AustrategoAy. This word originates from the combination of AustratosAy . and ego . The word 'strategy' comes from the word strategos, stratos means military and ag which means to lead. According to him, strategy is interpreted as something that generals do to make plans to conquer the enemy and in order to win the war. So, initially strategy was more popularly used widely in the military world. Then, the term strategy is often used in everyday life, starting from business, management, and everyday language. So, strategy is often understood as the methods or tactics used to achieve a predetermined goal. So strategy is an overall and holistic approach related to the implementation of ideas, planning and execution of an activity within a certain period of time (B. Arifin 2. Etymologically, the word communication (Englis. comes from the Latin communicatio, from the root word communis which means the same (Samovar, et. In general, the meaning of 'same' is that there must be a common understanding of the message between the communicator . essage sende. and the communicant . essage recipien. regarding the message being communicated (Effendy 2. So, communication is the delivery of a message by the communicator to the communicant, where the message is interpreted the same by both parties and is informative and persuasive. The term da'wah comes from the word da'a (Arabi. which is a basic word . which means to call, exhort, or invite (Dar 2. Any action that calls, calls or invites other people to believe and obey the commands of Allah SWT (M. Arifin 1. Referring to its basic meaning, da'wah is defined as a continuous process that leads to improvement, development, and the formation of a happy society through continuous invitations to goodness and preventing them from evil things. The function of da'wah is to organize the lives of religious communities towards the realization of a harmonious and happy society (Sirajudin 2. PROCEEDING Al Ghazali Internasional Conference Volume 1. Desember 2024 The Future is Now: Adaptation to the WorldAos Emerging Technologies PROCEEDING Al Ghazali Internasional Conference e-issn. If we trace the meaning of the terms above, an etymological understanding can be drawn that a da'wah communication strategy is a way of communicating that contains a series of activities designed to achieve the goal of da'wah (Marfu'ah 2. The da'wah communication strategy is an effective and systematic plan from the communicator . to change the behavior of the communicant . in accordance with Islamic teachings. relation to Islamic da'wah, a da'wah communication strategy is a da'i's accuracy in responding to not apologist. For this reason, in the process of implementing a da'wah communication strategy, of course the da'i's sensitivity to reading the situation and character of the target community . will have quite a significant impact. The da'wah communication strategy is one of the most effective problem solutions, because it not only includes the methods that must be used to deal with mad'u, but also the media and materials of the da'wah are very influential in solving problems in everyday life (Risdiantoro et al. In implementing a da'wah communication strategy, the urgent elements to pay attention to in formulating it are the introduction of the audience, message, method, media, and communicator . KH Chasbullah Badawi's Da'wah Communication Strategy to the Community in Cilacap Regency In the 1970s, society's offerings were still very limited in the fields of education, economic activity and social activity. At that time in Kesugihan village there were nonformal education activities organized by Islamic boarding schools such as. Al Ihya Ulumaddin Islamic boarding school. Manarul Huda Islamic boarding school. Asasunnajah Islamic boarding school and Al Fiel Islamic boarding school. As in general. Salaf Islamic boarding schools. The materials taught are religious materials such as monotheism, fiqh, ushul fiqh, mantiq, balaqhah and others using yellow books . as teaching materials (Dhofier 1. However, in that year there were no formal educational institutions in Kesugihan except elementary school (SD) 01 Kesugihan, while there were only secondary level educational institutions in the city of Cilacap, which is around 17 KM from Kesugihan. The location of secondary education is far away and transportation is difficult . , of course only certain groups can access it, while the general public who cannot access formal education can only take part in non-formal education organized by Islamic boarding schools. The situation where people do not have the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills that are the basis for intellectual development and broaden their horizons about science, culture and technology, which are usually taught in formal educational institutions, worries PROCEEDING Al Ghazali Internasional Conference Volume 1. Desember 2024 PROCEEDING Al Ghazali Internasional Conference The Future is Now: Adaptation to the WorldAos Emerging Technologies e-issn. the conscience of KH Chasbullah Badawi. This anxiety inspired his motivation to establish a formal educational institution that could be accessed by all levels of society, so in 1968, he founded Bhakti Middle School which changed to YaBAKII Middle School in 1971 after he founded the Ittihadul Islamiyah Welfare Charity Foundation (YaBAKII) together with and Kesugihan community figures (Umam 2. At the beginning of the establishment of YaBAKII Middle School, the students were only students and families, while not many people in Kesugihan were interested in studying at this formal institution, but he was a realistic person (Hidayat 2. , who understood that society needed correct illustrations. -really raise their awareness about the urgency of balanced education between Islamic boarding school education and formal education. Therefore, he consistently takes approaches to the community to raise public awareness about the urgency of education through Islamic boarding schools. IPNU/IPPNU.

SPIAIN which has turned into MAN (Rochyani 2. , up to higher education, namely the Imam Ghazali Islamic Institute (IAIIG) which was founded in 1989 and Nahdlatul Ulama Al Ghazali University (UNUGHA) was founded in 2014. Since 2020. IAIIG merged, joining UNUGHA. The success in establishing these educational institutions cannot be separated from the joint waqf movement that he initiated, the aim of which was to back up land acquisition for the construction of physical buildings for educational institutions that were in need. YaBAKII is supported by the Joint Waqf Movement, so the two of them support each other. As a kyai who leads the Al Ihya Ulumaddin Kesugihan Islamic boarding school with KH Ahmad Mustholih Badawi, apart from being consistent in maintaining the Bandungan and Sorogan recitation system. KH Chasbullah Badawi carried out the development of the Islamic boarding school by establishing an Islamic boarding school library called Darul Hikmah. By establishing Darul Hikmah, this indicates that he really loves science and encourages students not only to enjoy reading books, but also to be able to write scientific works, as expressed by his daughter. Mrs. Wihdatul Husna: "Darul Atiq, poskestren, library (Darul Hikma. with the hope that students will enjoy reading and have broad insight.

Father also hopes that the students will have high aspirations" (Husna Another development is life skills training to equip students when it is time to return to their hometowns: carpentry, carving, fishing boat building, sewing, and others. The development of the Islamic boarding school carried out by him inspired the alumni of Al Ihya Ulumaddin, after completing their education at the Al Ihya Ulumaddin Islamic Boarding School, when they established an Islamic boarding school in their hometown equipped with formal education to balance the need for salaf sciences based on classical books and science needs are oriented towards mastering information and technology. In between his busy schedule managing Islamic boarding school activities and monitoring the management of educational institutions under the auspices of YaBAKII, in 1986-1987 KH Chasbullah Badawi collaborated with Novib . Dutch private organization which is part of the international organization Oxfa. , to carry out community economic empowerment, namely empowering non-rice farmers who took an agricultural location in the mountains in Kesugihan District. This was stated by KH Suada Adzkya. Rois Syuriyah NU district Cilacap: AuKH Chasbullah Badawi did a lot. Among them are religious affairs, economic affairs, and even social affairs. These include holding joint waqf, encouraging agriculture" (Adzkya 2. As a result of this collaboration, farmers have broader farming skills, not only rice farming, but also fruit farming skills such as mangoes, pineapples, rambutans, and others. With these skills, farmers can have a choice in determining the type of farming that is not only rice but can also choose other types that are more prospective. His programs in economic empowerment efforts produced the expected results because of his egalitarian attitude and modesty in interacting with the community, as stated by KH Nasrullah. Chancellor of UNUGHA 2014-2024: AuHe doesn't see himself as better . than other people. With his attitude and way of thinking always being that way, that's what he was like at meetings at institutions and at foundations, prioritizing deliberation" (Nasrullah 2.

Deep knowledge in the field of monotheism, making his narratives when conveying the values of faith and Islam easy to be accepted and digested by all groups. both child students. Kliwonan students and the wider community. Conclusion The conclusions from research on KH Chasbullah Badawi Hanafi's da'wah communication strategy in Cilacap Regency are: His preaching communication strategy in Kesugihan was motivated by the situation of the Kesugihan community which is still underdeveloped in the fields of education, economics and culture. KH Badawi Hanafi's da'wah communication strategy uses an educational approach, joint waqf movement, farmer empowerment and tariqah. Factors that support KH Chasbullah Badawi's da'wah communication are his egalitarian and modest attitude which makes his presence, thoughts and ideas accepted by various groups of society. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factor was the gap in society's understanding of his thoughts and ideas in the early days of his contact with society. Bibliography
