Islam is one of the divine religions that emphasizes the importance of da’wah (Islamic preaching) activities. Therefore, da'wah becomes one of the activities of every Muslim in his life. Da’wah can be done through various ways and media, both visual and audio visual, such as television and others. Television is very effective in delivering content of da’wah, because in this modern era television has been entering in almost all the homes of the people as audiences of da’wah.

In Gayonization of Islam, the terms, actions, and equipments used in the ritual is a purely Gayo’s culture, but Islamic values and teachings are inserted in it. The acculturation process occurred in four stages such as accomodating islamic preaching, identification, Gayonization, and implementation. Furthermore, the acculturation of Islam with Gayo’s culture in and the ceremonies of birth, marriage, and death, can be grouped in three forms: 1) the acculturation of Islamic values with customary objects, in which the objects are ascribed as symbols of Islamic values; 2) the acculturation of Islamic values with the traditions, in which customary practice are attributed as a symbol of Islamic values; and 3) the acculturation of Islam with customary practice, in which customary practice is based on Islamic teachings.

Alqurān not only contains teachings, knowledge and information, but also the reading and practice of the Qurān can be a way or approach to preach both to ourselves and others. The closer to the Qurān someone is, the more peace and happiness they will get. And that is the ultimate goal of da'wah.

After the Prophet Muhammad passed away, Islamic propagation was carried out the Prophet’s companions, such as Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and Ali, known as Khulafa’ Rashidin (rightly guided caliphs). Their mission of da’wah was never deviated from the teachings of the Prophet, but carried out with different practices. Abu Bakr, for example, paid special attention to the spread of true way of life. Because of his efforts, most Arabs converted to Islam. After Abu Bakr’s caliphate, Umar managed Islamic government and effective administration. At Uthman’s period, he extinguished rebellion that occurred in some areas, and expanded the reign of Islam that halted in the caliphate of Umar.

Harmony is the common goal of both government and religious adherents in Palu which is plural in terms of ethnic group and religion. As it is commonly known that plurality is not only a symbol of strength in society but also a source of conflict. Based on this, this paper is to examine the effectiveness of policy on religious harmony in Palu by portraying the condition of religious harmony in society and analyzing the role of the Inter-Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB) in Palu. It is concluded that, first, harmony in Palu is achieved due to piety of religious adherents. Second, the role of the Inter-Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB) in Palu is still weak. This is caused by the fact that the program is not yet rightly implemented due to the lack of financial support and the organizers do not know exactly their role and task. Third, the Inter-Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB) in Palu do not properly perform its task in driving religious harmony in society.

Strengthening moderate Islam in the Archipelago is necessary today. Tug of war between religious radicalism and religious liberalism is one of the reasons that underlies this idea. In the middle of this feud, pesantren is expected to play an important role in strengthening religious ideas which are in accordance with the culture of Archipelago that is full of mercy. In this paper, I explore the role of Pesantren of As’adiyah Sengkang in building a moderate Islam in Bugis land. This paper shows that this pesantren has built and developed a moderate Islam in South Sulawesi through two ways; first, a pesantren network and Bugis Muslim scholars as graduates of As’adiyah pesantren, who have been scattered throughout Sulawesi island; second, religious doctrines of As’adiyah which are coloured with Ahlussunnah wal jama’ah either in faith, Islamic law, Islamic mysticism or method of preaching that promotes the principles of moderation (tawassuth), tolerance (tasamuh) and equilibrium (tawazun).

There are three social levels of Islamic preacher in Palu, ulama, ustaz and guru mengaji. The emergence of ‘ulama (muslim scholars) on the political stage is an epicenter of social, cultural and economic dynamics. ‘Ulama felt that they must interfere to guide Muslim community in politics in order to implement Islamic shari’a according to the Qurān and Hadith. Political communication of Muslim preachers in Palu includes three steps: negotiation of political opportunity, consolidation of supports for candidates, and image building of da’wah message. Muslim preachers such as ulama, ustaz and guru mengaji are always drawn into politics at the season of political glamour, because they are considered as having loyal and pious mass basis.

This paper deals with how is Islamic preaching conducted to optimize the elderly’s religious consciousness at the nursing home Ar-Rahman, Kamonji, subdistrict of Palu Barat. This research used a qualitative-descriptive method with a sociological ad psychological approach. The findings show that the nursing home Ar-Rahman runs well. And the da’wah activity in this home is classified into two verbal and nonverbal preaching. Optimization of religious awareness for the elderlies is through strengthening the cooperation with Palu’s local government and giving a professional guidance continously. As a local government’s partner, financial support from the government and alms from society are necessary to optimize the infrastructures to support the activity of promoting religious awareness among the elderlies at this nursing home. However, in this process of optimization, it is not exhaustive enough because there is no systematic guidance which directs da’wah activity in optimizing religious awareness among the elderlies.
