Abstract

The number of female Islamic preachers or da'iyah in Medan, Indonesia is very few compared to the number of women’s religious assemblies (majelis taklim) existing in the city. The existences of some da'iyahs to guide people through religious assemblies today is an interesting phenomenon to be expressed. This study aims to reveal the thoughts and da’wah activities of da'iyahs. Using purposive sampling technique, five da'iyahs were selected as the participants and informants of this qualitative research. The data were obtained through semi-structured interview techniques and documentation. The findings of the research reveal that all da'iyahs were not from ulama (clerical) families and their families’ economic level was low. The most important educational stage was during Islamic high school (Aliyah) and higher education time when they had good learning achievements and involved in extracurricular activities as they were activists of religious organizations. Their existence as da'iyahs was not much motivated in formal education of da'wah, but their talent and mastery of good Islamic science. Da’wah through oral communication is more prominent than the written one. Furthermore, they generally use lecture and question & answer (Q & A) methods. While the techniques and approaches used varies from one dai’yah to another. Finally, the massage of da’wah was adjusted to the condition of the congregation
