Refomulasi Epistemologi Hijrah dalam Dakwah
Abstract: The paper discusess
the idea of Hijrah and its historic role in the process of Islamic propagation
(da’wah). Hijrah is a physical migration from Mekkah to Medinah; a migration
that has implied both religious and spiritual transofrmation. In its literal
meaning, Hijrah is simply to move from one place to another. In the history of
da’wah, Hijrah is a moment in which Islam underwent a process of change and
transition from one situation into another. Hijrah was the first stepping stone
toward the more vibrant and active propagation of Islam. The paper deals with
this notion of Hijrah as the strategic move toward the successful mission of
disseminating Islam. These issues together with the many implications that
Hijrah has will be the focus of this paper. The paper argues that Hijrah is not
simply to make a physical movement from one place to another. It is also about
the spiritual and religious transformation of the Muslim ummah. Through Hijrah
a new social, political and cultural order is resurrected. To make our
discussion more lively, the paper will refer to many Qur’anic verses and
prophetic traditions that speak of Hijrah and interpret them in the light of
the historic Hijrah. Hence, we look at Hijrah as not only an event in history,
but also a norm of religion that has a spiritual value of its own.
