Abstract

Abstrak: Perkembangan Islam dan dakwah antara lain ditunjangi dengan gerakan secara organisasi atau tanzimi atau jama’i. Dakwah para rasul telah menjadikan gerakan secara tanzimi sebagai asas kekuatan dalam menunjangi perjalanan dakwah mereka. Asas dakwah secara organisasi ini telah dijelaskan dalam al-Qur’an, Surah Ali Imran ayat 52, 104 dan 110 dan Surah al-Saff ayat 14. Perkembangan gerakan dakwah di Malaysia termasuklah di Sabah mengambil pendekatan yang sama. Justeru itu, artikel ini membincangkan peranan gerakan dakwah di Sabah dengan fokus kepada dua organisasi Islam yang dilihat sinonim dengan perkembangan dakwah Islamiah, iaitu United Sabah Islamic Association (USIA) dan Jabatan Hal Ehwal Agama Islam Negeri Sabah (JHEAINS). USIA mewakili organisasi dakwah bukan kerajaan atau NGO manakala JHEAINS pula mewakili badan dakwah kerajaan. Kajian ini adalah kajian kualitatif dengan mengambil kaedah analisis dokumen. Data kajian kemudiannya dianalisis secara tematik bagi mengenal pasti peranan USIA dan JHEAINS dalam melaksanakan gerakan dakwah terhadap mualaf. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa kedua-dua organisasi dakwah ini telah berperanan dalam gerakan dakwah mualaf melalui kaedah-kaedah: Pendidikan, ekonomi, memanfaatkan status sosial, ziarah, mabit, jalinan kerjasama, kelas bimbingan al-Qur’an dan fardu Ain dan latihan.
