Abstract

Image of dakwah activities in Muslim society tends to focus more heavily on religious doctrine. As such is counter productive with the main critical problems that many Muslims are facing in reality, that is, the decline of religiosity in society as a direct impact of rampant globalization. On the other hand, many Muslims take for granted whatever comes from the West, without a filter. This has made young people, especially adolescents, easy to get lost in their search of religiosity. Therefore, by using a library research, this article examines how Muslim preachers could utilize psychology as an instrument of their dakwah activities. Based on an analysis using a descriptive method, it is discovered that the changes and transformations in society have demanded Muslim preachers to be able to adjust their preaching methods with the current situations of society, that is by incorporating psychology in their preaching approach.
