Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine how K.H. used the concept of da'wah to revitalize scholars who were stationed in Islamic boarding schools. East Java, Kholil, Bangkalan Madura. It can be inferred from the findings of theoretical study, records, and field surveys that in KH's da'wah. Kholil is a concept that is practical enough for pupils to use both within and outside of the pesantren. The idea behind da'wah is as follows: it never glorifies Islamic symbols instead it explains the core teachings of Islam; it always deals with community problems by directly adapting the context of da'wah to those conditions; and because the community is simple-minded, da'wah preaches pragmatically. The idea of "regeneration of scholars" is implemented in this way: a student, or aspiring scientist, must be complete and focused on learning what they know; learning must be complete and unaffected by financial difficulties because the scientific spirit that is developed is independent of food intake; and when testing and evaluating students, teachers must be patient and inferior in order to measure students' ability. This makes it easier for students to absorb knowledge in line with their capacity. Drawing from this idea, K.H. Kholil was successful in inspiring a new generation of academics to propagate Islamic da'wah throughout Indonesian territory including Java Island.
