INTRODUCTION
Education actually has an important role in the formation of everyone's character,
education here is divided into two, namely religious education and general education.
Religious education is very important for everyone because it is able to shape one's
character, especially religious education given by the family. While general education is
to complement and to be knowledgeable in today's technological era.

Advances in science and technology have led to high levels of criminal acts that
occur in today's society, especially the younger generation, which is an indicator of
failure in the communication system so that young people cannot receive messages as
expected by parents and educators.

There are often murders committed by those closest to them, such as children
killing their parents, children killing their own friends, and many parents even throwing
away their babies. This is caused by their failure to accept religious messages so that the
wrong character is formed. In addition, psychologically there is a gap between the
sender of the message and the recipient of the message, such as the absence of
exemplary and honesty.

If the delinquency of the younger generation is viewed from the perspective of

Psychiatry (Mental Health Sciences), then actions that disturb the peace and interests of
other people, which are considered as delinquency or as acts of 6 sins by religious
teachings are seen by psychiatrists as manifestations of mental disorders or due to
unexpressed frustration from feelings of tension, restlessness and anxiety.

The existing education system only prioritizes intellectual intelligence without

being balanced with good religious education, so it can form bad character. So that
intelligent and skilled human beings are produced but do not care about other people
and their environment so that they are far from being honest, independent, disciplined
and a sense of responsibility.

Good habits that are in accordance with the spirit of religious teachings will be
easily instilled in the child's soul, if the adults around him (especially parents) give
examples of these good qualities in their daily lives, children will more quickly imitate
them. to understand the words spoken and if his personality is filled with religious
values then he will avoid bad behavior.

The above phenomena occur because of a lack of understanding of religious

knowledge, morals, and a lack of exemplary behavior that can be seen by them. This
situation will erode people's faith in Allah and there will be a final day where they must
be held accountable for all their actions towards Allah.

Islamic boarding schools are a system of Da'wah institutions and are able to form
students who are characterized, independent, honest, disciplined and responsible. People
who believe in Allah correctly will always remember Allah and follow all His
commands and stay away from all His prohibitions. Thus, he will become a pious
person who always does good and stays away from things that are forbidden (bad).

This is possible because Islamic boarding schools can carry out Da'wah activities
in a structured, planned manner for a relatively long time of at least three or four years.
Educational material prioritizing religious and formal education can produce intelligent
and skilled human beings who have good personality traits and embody noble character.
The students during their education level are in the cottage environment under the
guidance and supervision of Ustadz with exemplary.

And all his attitudes and behavior are always good because he feels watched by
angels, his behavior is based on the rules of the Qur'an, imitating the attitudes and
behavior of the Prophet so that he can be easily accounted for before Allah on the last
day and is sure that He really wills that for him.

This reduces negative influences, environment and communication systems that

are not good. So that the mindset of the students is expected to be formed in accordance
with what is expected.

As the word of Allah in the Al-Qur'an letter Al-Imron verse 104 which reads as
follows:

It means :
"And let there be a group of people among you who call for virtue, order those who are
good and forbid those who are evil, they are the lucky ones" (QS. Ali-Imron: 104).
Therefore, it requires communication skills that must be owned by an Ustadz and pay
attention to what kind of communication is used so that the message conveyed can be
received by students.
Thus the author can find out the da'wah communication used by Ustadz in
delivering Da'wah messages to students which will be very influential, whether students
will get the effect of the process of deepening the Islamic religion. This is where the
author's interest in conducting research and researchers will focus on Da'wah

Communication which is carried out in forming students with character (noble

character).

DA'WAH COMMUNICATION AND CHARACTER FORMATION

A. Da'wah Communication
1. Definition of Da'wah Communication
Da'wah communication is the process of conveying information or messages
from a person or group of people to another person or group of people
originating from the Al-Quran and Hadith by using symbols both verbally and
non-verbally with the aim of changing people's attitudes, opinions or behavior.
others that are better in accordance with Islamic teachings, either directly
orally or indirectly through the media.
2. Methods of Da'wah Communication Methods of da'wah communication in the
Qur'an, namely Surah An-Nahl Verse 125, Allah SWT says:

Meaning: "Call people to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good
teaching and argue with them in a good way, verily your Lord is the one who
knows more about those who stray from his path and he is the one who knows
better those who are guided." (Qs. An-Nahl: 125)
In this verse there is an accurate da'wah method. The basic framework of the
da'wah method contained in the verse are Bi AlHikmah, Mau‟izhah Hasanah,
and Mujadalah.
a. Bi Al-Hikmah
Hikmah/Wisdom is inviting people to the path of Allah by using words,
encouraging, patient, friendly, open-minded and putting things in their
place.
b. Mau‟izhah Hasanah
Mau‟izhah Hasanah or good advice is giving advice to others in a good
way, namely giving instructions to goodness in good language, acceptable,
pleasing to the heart, touching feelings, straight in mind, avoiding harsh
attitudes, and not looking for or calling fault the audience so that the object
willingly on his conscience can follow the teachings conveyed by the
subject of the da'wah.

c. Mujadalah
Mujadalah is the last way used for preaching while the last two methods are
used for people whose level of thinking is quite advanced and critical such
as ahl al-Kitab who already have religious provisions from the previous
messengers.
3. Da’wah Communication Functions
a. Social Function
This social function at least implies that communication is important for
building our self-concept, self-actualization, for survival, for obtaining
happiness, avoiding tension and pressure, among others by entertaining
communication, and fostering relationships with other people. Through
communication we work together with community members (families,
study groups, universities, RT, RW, villages, cities and the country as a
whole) to achieve common goals.
b. Expressive communication
Expressive communication is very closely related to social
communication, expressive communication can be done alone or in
groups. This communication is not aimed at influencing other people, but
can be done as long as the communication becomes an instrument to
convey our feelings (emotions). These feelings are primarily
communicated through nonverbal messages. Feelings of love, care,
longing, affection, joy, sadness, fear, concern, anger and hatred can be
conveyed through words, but especially through nonverbal behavior. A
mother stroking her child’s head shows a mother’s affection for her child.
c. Ritual Function
This ritual communication becomes a habit that is carried out every year or
throughout the year which is used to express activities that reflect
symbolism, for example, ceremonies, circumcision, birthday ceremonies,
engagements, and Eid celebrations.
d. Instrument Function
This communication instrument has several general purposes, namely to
inform, teach, encourage, change attitudes, beliefs, change behavior, move
action and also to entertain. When summarized, all of these goals can be
called persuasive (persuasive).
B. Character
1. Character Definition
The character here is to form the character and noble character of students
(santri) as a whole, integrated and balanced, in accordance with the standard
values of the educational unit. So that it is expected to be able to

5
ARABIC VISUAL COMMUNICATION PATTERNS IN PONDOK MODERN RAHMATUL ASRI
ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOL, MAIWA DISTRICT, ENREKANG DISTRICT

independently improve and use their knowledge, study and internalize and
personalize the values of character and noble character so that they can be
realized in everyday life.
2. Objectives and Indicators (Values) in Character Building
The purpose of character building is very important for the next generation of
the nation, in today’s modern era the younger generation has declined in
character, namely in terms of independence, discipline and morals which
have begun to disappear.
Furthermore, Marzuki in his book entitled Islamic Character Education, he
quoted a statement from Michele Borba in his book entitled Building Moral
Intelligence: The Seven Essential Vitues That Kids to Do The Right Thing,
2001 (Building Moral Intelligence: Seven Main Virtues So that Children
High Moral, 2008), there are seven ways to cultivate the main virtues (good
character) in children, namely: Empathy, conscience, self-control, respect,
kindness, tolerance and justice.
3. Character Formation Process
Character formation is classified into five sequential and age-appropriate
stages, those are:
a. The first stage is forming courtesy, between the ages of 5 to 6 years. This
stage includes honest elements, knowing between right and wrong,
knowing between good and bad, and knowing what is ordered, for
example in matters of Religion.
b. The second stage is practicing self-responsibility between the ages of 7 to
8 years. This stage includes orders to carry out the obligatory prayers,
practice doing things related to personal needs independently, as well as
being educated to always be orderly and disciplined as reflected in the
implementation of the prayers.
c. The third stage is forming a caring attitude between the ages of 9 to 10
years. This stage includes being taught to care for other people,
especially peers, being taught to respect and respect the rights of others,
being able to work together and willing to help others.
d. The fourth stage is forming independence between the ages of 11 to 12
years. This stage trains children to learn to accept risks as a form of
consequence if they do not comply with orders, they are taught to
distinguish between good and bad.
e. The fifth stage is forming social attitudes at the age of 13 and over. This
stage trains readiness to mingle in society armed with previous
experience. If it can be carried out properly, then at a later age it only
needs sufficient refinement and development.
4. Factors Influencing Character Formation

6
ARABIC VISUAL COMMUNICATION PATTERNS IN PONDOK MODERN RAHMATUL ASRI
ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOL, MAIWA DISTRICT, ENREKANG DISTRICT

a. Internal Factors
1) Spiritual potential is the potential of Muslims to know God, namely
Allah SWT who has created. With this spiritual potential, humans
are able to know the vision and mission of their life in this world.
The vision of human life is to worship Allah SWT and as a Servant
of Allah SWT to obtain a happy life in the world and be free from
the torments of hell.
2) Emotional potential is the human basis for judging what is good and
what is bad and forms the ideals and goals of life that have been
created by Allah SWT.
3) Intellectual potential is the basic human potential to think about
distinguishing right from wrong, to think, to ponder profusely in
making every decision to be taken in life.
4) Biological potential is the potential for biological desire such as
eating and drinking to sustain life and sexual appetite to maintain
offspring.
b. External Factors
1) The physical environment is the condition of the living area which
has an influence on the physical growth and mental development of
humans.
2) The social environment is the environment consisting of the
household or family environment and the community. The social
environment plays a very important role in influencing the formation
and development of a person’s personality because humans basically
have the habit of imitating, imitating and trying out what they see
and hear.
3) The media environment is all sources of information, such as
traditional and modern media. The media environment also has a
major influence on character formation, both positive and negative.
4) Education is an attempt to improve oneself in all its aspects.
Education has a very big influence in the formation of a person’s
character, morals and ethics, the good and bad of a person’s morals
depends on education. Education participates in maturing a person’s
personality so that his behavior is in accordance with the education
he has received.
C. Da’wah Communication Methods in Character Formation
In the formation of character to achieve it, it must require the right methods and
approaches both formally and informally, this method functions as a tool to
achieve goals. There are also methods that can shape a person’s character as stated
by Marzuki in his book entitled Islamic Character Education, namely:

7
ARABIC VISUAL COMMUNICATION PATTERNS IN PONDOK MODERN RAHMATUL ASRI
ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOL, MAIWA DISTRICT, ENREKANG DISTRICT

1. Direct and indirect methods.

The direct method means that the delivery of character education (morals)
is carried out directly by providing noble moral materials from the Qur’an and
Hadith. Meanwhile, the indirect method means cultivating character through
stories that contain noble character values in the hope that students can learn
from them.
a. Through separate subjects and integrated into all lessons.
b. Through separate subjects, such as Religious Education, books by
Ulama and Citizenship Education. Meanwhile, integrated into all
subjects means through all existing subjects.
The point is fostering the character of the santri through all activities
outside of learning which are commonly called extracurricular activities in the
form of habituating the noble moral values in them, such as through IMTAQ
activities, Tadarus Al-Qur’an, and others.
2. Through the exemplary method (uswah hasanah).
A very effective method for fostering the character of students is through
example. Exemplary in Islamic Boarding Schools is played by Kyai, Ustadz,
senior students and employees. Exemplary at home played by both parents or
other people around him who are older. Meanwhile, exemplary society is
played by community leaders from the lowest to the highest.
Through advice and giving attention. Ustadz and parents must always give
special advice and attention to their students or children in the context of
character building.
This method is also very helpful in motivating students to have a
commitment to the rules or noble moral values that must be applied.
3. Reward and punishment method.
The reward method is giving gifts as a stimulus to students or children to
be motivated and do good or have good morals. While the punishment method
is the imposition of sanctions as a deterrent effect for students or children so
they do not dare to do evil (bad morals) or violate applicable regulations.

DA'WAH COMMUNICATION IN THE FORMATION OF STUDENTS

A. Implementation of Da’wah Communication in Forming Characterized Santri

10
ARABIC VISUAL COMMUNICATION PATTERNS IN PONDOK MODERN RAHMATUL ASRI
ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOL, MAIWA DISTRICT, ENREKANG DISTRICT

Based on the findings of research in the field through observation, interviews

and documentation. The Islamic boarding school in an effort to form students with
character has carried out various activities using effective da’wah communication,
especially in the field of religion. Da’wah communication is used in every teaching,
including: religious teaching both formal and non-formal, extracurricular activities
which cover several fields such as arts, sports and skills as well as moral education
or the personality of the students which are reflected in the kyai and the example of
the ustdaz/ustadzah.
Da’wah communication is a rhetoric carried out by communicators to
disseminate messages containing Islamic religious values, both in verbal and non-
verbal forms to students or congregations and pays close attention to
communication arrangements to be able to overcome cultural differences.
Da’wah communication in religious activities for the formation of students
with character is communication carried out by ustadz in the form of good messages
and attitudes within the Islamic boarding school both verbal and nonverbal which
are conveyed to the students.
In the process of religious development it is also to change behavior in a better
direction, as well as provide an understanding of Islamic teachings. The purpose of
da’wah communication is to change behavior, attitudes or actions in accordance
with the Al-Qur’an and As-Sunnah. Also inviting mankind to embrace Islam,
fostering a religious mentality for converts and educating and teaching children not
to deviate from their nature as humans.
Likewise with the aim of the Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding School in fostering
students with character is to produce Muslim individuals whose:
1. Faith and piety to Allah SWT
2. Knowledgeable religion
3. Able to practice and fight for the knowledge that has been owned
4. Have good morals
5. Live independently and ready to user
6. Have the spirit and pattern of Salafy Islamic Boarding Schools
Likewise with da’wah activities in fostering the religion of the santri, there is a
change in attitude, the effect on the santri from the da’wah message conveyed is a
sense of enthusiasm in studying the Al-Qur’an and As-Sunnah. That means the
purpose of religious fostering activities is in accordance with the goals of da’wah
communication.
As for da’wah communication activities in fostering Islamic teachings for
students carried out by the Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding School in religious
activities to form students with character, that are:
1. Congregational Midnight Prayer.

11
ARABIC VISUAL COMMUNICATION PATTERNS IN PONDOK MODERN RAHMATUL ASRI
ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOL, MAIWA DISTRICT, ENREKANG DISTRICT

2. Field of Skills; Speeches or Lectures, Kultum and Friday Sermons.

3. Halaqoh; In facilitating the activities carried out by the Darul Ulum Islamic
Boarding School, the halaqoh method was created, namely gathering each class
or room to discuss the lessons delivered by the ustadz to the students.
Ustadz da’wah communication is used when giving lessons on how to make
speeches, cults, sermons and when teaching in class. Because the ustadz in
delivering religious material has the skills to master the material with knowledge,
style of language, clear and firm voice so that in delivering the material an ustadz
uses language that is easy to understand so that the students do not need to interpret
it anymore. This activity aims to make the students have personality, those are:
1. Dare to speak in public
2. Discipline in imparting knowledge
3. Be creative and innovative in packaging the material presented so that mad’u
don’t feel bored
4. The students are able to respect the opinions of other students
5. Communicative in speeches and lectures
Based on the da’wah communication activities carried out by the Darul Ulum
Islamic Boarding School in the form of halaqoh, this will be able to create the
character of students who are honest, able to respect others, disciplined, responsible
and democratic.
Da’wah communication in religious activities carried out by the Darul Ulum
Islamic Boarding School is a change in the attitude of the students after they
understand the material that has been delivered. There is a change in attitude in the
form of an understanding of the mistakes made by the students themselves, so that
students can understand them better themselves and feel motivated to be even
better.
B. Supporting and Inhibiting Factors in the Formation of Santri with Character
1. Supporting Factors
a. There are adequate facilities and infrastructure so that activities or activities
at the Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding School run smoothly.
b. There are kyai who have high integrity and capacity as well as faqihs in the
religious sciences and have high charisma or authority.
c. There is good coordination and cooperation between the management and
students so that they can help and complement each other for the smooth
running of each program that has been set by the pesantren.
Based on the supporting factors above, it can be analyzed that the presence
of supporting factors will facilitate the effectiveness of the activities carried out
at the Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding School. For example, there are kyai or

12
ARABIC VISUAL COMMUNICATION PATTERNS IN PONDOK MODERN RAHMATUL ASRI
ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOL, MAIWA DISTRICT, ENREKANG DISTRICT

ustadz who have high integrity and capacity as well as faqihs in religious
sciences and have good examples.
So that it is hoped that it will be able to form students who have good
character or noble character, not only have abilities in the formal and non-
formal fields but are also expected to be realized in the daily life of these
students as well as in society and generally can help run programs that have
been run by the government.
2. Inhibiting Factors
In addition to the supporting factors, there are also inhibiting factors in the
implementation of da’wah communication activities in the formation of students
with character at the Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding School, both internal and
external obstacles, those are :
a. There is still low awareness of students in complying with the rules set by
Islamic boarding schools.r
b. The strong influence from outside the pesantren when the students go to
formal school which results in the students often breaking the rules that have
been set.
These inhibiting factors can disrupt the effectiveness of activities at the
Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding School. Therefore, it needs to be improved as
much as possible, for example by reviewing the rules that must be emphasized,
coordinating with all ustadz or administrators through deliberations. The most
important thing is not to make these inhibiting factors the only reason for failure
that causes resignation.
