1. Research Objective
2
This research has objective to know the implementation of training
program at DDII and the way or method of recruitment in DDII West Java.
2. Research Question
This study will mainly discuss to find answer of three things as below:
B. Literature Review
In professional matter, Quran tell that from all the muslim, there must
be group of people that specialized for mastering religion studies that will
be projected as enlighteners and bring the people to the dark side to the
light side. There are two main content of predication, the good or happy
news (basyir) and the warning or (nadzir). The essence of Islamic
predication is to renewal (tajdid), to fix (ishlah), to purify (tathwir) and to
change (tadawul) (Muhyiddin, 2014). The destination of Islamic dakwah is
not only muslim, but for all humankind.
3
Many Islamic organizations is established in this country Indonesia, and
many of them hathe same value and mission to create better society by
spreading and teaching Islamic value. For example is Syarikat Dagang
Islam in 1905, later become Syarikat Islam, Muhammadiyah in 1912, and
Nahdhatul Ulama in 1926. Japanese fascism era in 1942-1945 has bring
the inspiration for political movement for Islam to be arised. Masyumi
(Majelis Syuro Muslimin) that supervising all Islamic organization is the
manifestation to propagating Islamic predication as politic. The leader and
important figures in Masyumi take role in preparing Indonesian Indepence
and try to incepting Islamic value for the nation principle of Indonesia.
For achieving its aims and objectives, the DDII holds close cooperation
with another Islamic organization that have existed throughout Indonesia.
In controversial matters, DDII is avoiding and reducing the dispute
between predication supporters, all differences in term of madzhab, DDII
is accepting all 4 big madzhab practicing. But for the meaning of
tolerance, DDII interpret tolerance as only the respect and acceptance to
other entities not acceptance and not the appreciation or believing of the
rich diversity of cultures, forms of expression and ways of being human.
4
Consequently, the position of DDII can rather between the fanatics oor
conservative and moderate.
In recent year, DDII face the challenge not only with evangelist
movement and Islamic deviant sect, but also with muslim liberal activist
that promoting value of pluralism, secularism and liberalism. Because DDII
is still consist with the founding father mission and values, the power and
influence struggle in Indonesia is now more competitive.
2. Training
Isa Anshary said in his book Mujahid Dakwah that every single Islamic
propagandist or preacher have to fulfill minimum requirement of islamic
studies and general knowledge before thay can become generic or real
preacher.iv The training must fulfil and give appropriate material that
needed by participant. The understanding and accumulation of both
religion and general knowledge makes the power of Dakwah is stronger
and can really effective and flexible in all circumstances.

what competencies staff or member will need. Then, put in place training
goals and programs to instill these competencies. The organization should
confirm the applicant/members claims of skill and experience, provide
adequate training (particularly where employees use dangerous
equipment), and evaluate the training to ensure that it s actually reducing
risks
C. Methodology
1. Research Design
The research approach that was followed for the purposes of this
research was the inductive one. According to this approach, researchers
6
begin with specific observation, which are used to produce generalized
theories and conclusions drawn from the research.
2. Data Collection
For the the observation is taking on the head office at Jl. Pungkur and
Pusdiklat Akademi Dakwah Indonesia (ADI) at Bumi Pakusarakan, Cimahi.
Observation mainly focused on the organization activity, relation among
staff member, the condition of office. What they said they do and what
actually they do or the discrepancy is also the main feature to be
observed. The observation and interview take the time about 13 hours to
conduct, once or twice a week in one month.
D. Data Analysis
7
These are the data collected from the fieldwork, it divided into two part
recruitment of the preacher or the member of DDII and the training that
conducted by DDII for their member.
1. Recruitment
For the manager and staff of DDII Jawa Barat, there are 4 kind of
recruitment source, first is staff from previous management period that
continue to work, and second is recruited from the local branch based on
performance, background life and activities, or from track record, third is
from training program, that will explain next section, and the fourth is
from referral or staff relation. In addition, several staff of DDII West Java is
getting double position for example become secretary both in DDII West
Java and Garut Residence
The main focus of DDII in the previous era and now is still the same.
But, the need of regeneration nowadays is focusing on the person that has
more capability in intellectual, rather than just in oration skill. The existing
management staff is still filled by senior member that has long experience
in the past, still work until now, sometime not focus at DDII because they
have other job or important responsibilities in other institution. DDII in this
era is trying to fix the recruitment method and looking for the real
preacher who ready to spent all time focusing for dakwah and loyal to
DDII.
2. Training

DDII that has a concern for actualizing muslim community to have
superiority both in intellectual and spirituality. Therefore, it was really
important thing to take role through quality improvement of Islamic
preacher. There are three different training programs, the first is training
for new comer, second is for the member or staff of DDII and third is
public training.
Two students asked for their motivation to register and join this training
program. One of student said that he intended to follow this program from
his willing to take care the condition of moslem in Indonesia. He feels sad
to look the injustice and the decrease of religious value in society. To
9
compromise that and change ummah for better life, he ready to join
program, give and sacrifice himself for dakwah. And other student tell
story that he was recommended by his previous alma mater Pesantren to
continue his study in ADI, he previously has experience in preaching and
conduct community development in his area. He want to advance
knowledge, skill and achieve more with ADI and STID.
After finishing their study, the student are given the options whether to
continue their study at STID or to come back to their regency area to
implement their knowledge. Most of student is continue their study
because they need to advance their skill and want to be sent to remote
area to feel the real experience of predication.
For those who continue to study at Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Dakwah (STID)
Mohammad Natsir at Bekasi, will pursue the rest of semester and
completing bachelor degree in 4 years. But after the graduation they
obligated to have predication mission first to get their license. They will
send to remote or rural area for about 6 month. But before the mission,
they will conduct survey to know feasibility, recent condition and analyze
the need of society.

da'wah and ushuluddin (root of islam religion), but also on language and
literature aspect.
Daurah Duat is the special program for the staff and manager of DDII
West Java and DDII in local branch. The aim of this program is to shaping
the skill and to search for talent that will continue organization. DDII Jawa
Barat held this centralized event once per year and chose only few person
as delegation from each local branch. The training take place at Pesantren
around West Java.
In this training, the participant will got more deep material about
strategic dakwah, managing issue in society, preparing movement,
community development, case study and problem solving, The trainer of
this program is senior member of DDII, daily board of DDII, trainer from
Central DDII at Jakarta such as Dr. Adian Husaini, Saiful Rosad, etc and
from another institution for example lecturer from Unpad, Unisba, and UIN
Bandung.
Program Kaderisasi Ulama (PKU) is the advance level of training for the
staff that has commitment, good performance and active for developing
their branch. This program is scholarship offer for continuing study to post
graduate or master degree and doctoral degree. This program is in
partnership with Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) Bandung and
Universitas Ibnu Khaldun (UIKA) Bogor, but the applicant also may propose
another campus. The high achievement and potential staff will be
promoted to register and get that scholarship, although this program also
is open for public from another organization or institution that fulfills the
requirement.
Not all study program is open for this scholar, only for those who want
to continue study master in Hadits, History of Islam, Dakwah, Islamic
Economy and Islamic education and for doctoral degree is open for Islamic
thought, Dakwah, and Islamic Education. The student who has finished
their scholarship study are obligated to work for DDII, write publication
and books in Islamic thought, become trainer for DDII agenda and
responsible to preaching, educating and developing their region
11
Beside of those formal training, DDII West Java also open for public
training such as Training for Jumat Preach (khutbah Jumat), management
of Majelis Talim, controlling and coaching to the preacher around West
Java, and giving consultation for mosque development. and support for
illiterate eradication. The general lecture or training of intensive Islamic
study is also given for the institution that invite or need for it.
E. Conclusion
The programs that has been going along and develop, such as training
and education has produced thousand of new qualified preacher. But for
the note is that what DDII do is must be evaluated more and more. In
order to face modern era, the organization must adapt new style of
management, and open for new concept and innovative program. The
problem now is the quantity of preacher is still low in comparison with
total population of Indonesia or lack of human resource. Many area that
not covered by Islamic predication (dakwah), and society is really need for
help in human and spirituality development.
12
Although preach is a voluntary action or non-profit activities, the
welfare of preacher is must be considered. The preacher will be more
creative and productive doing predication activities if their wealth is
assured. Funding is the key point to keep the struggling dakwah
movement, because all event and activity need money. Then financial
management must be learned, do not rely on donation or zakat, DDII must
have other method for fundraising to keep healthy cash flow and all
activities is running well.
Further research could also add to the understanding about the impact
of training and provide a feedback mechanism that will allow future efforts
in this area to more fully meet its intended goals and objectives. It would
also be helpful to capture qualitatively the experiences and perspectives
of research object who have had mixed or negative experiences, since
they may be less likely than enthusiasts to volunteer to participate in
studies of involvement in research.
