Abstract
This study aims to investigate the shift in the proselytizing movement of the transnational Islamic group Jamaah Tabligh (JT) in Indonesia which used to not come into contact with the world of practical politics, but since 2017 when the beginning of the Jakarta Regional Election and in the 2019 Presidential Election Tabligh Jamaat have been very actively involved in practical politics. The large number of TJ figures involved as campaigners for certain presidential candidates and participating in the 212 demonstrations prompted this study to specifically look at the involvement of TJ members and figures in identity politics campaigns on social media and in their communities. In addition, this research will also explore their understanding and meaning of democracy and the ”Khilafah Islamiyah” in the current context, given the increasingly strengthening discourse on the establishment of an Islamic caliphate under the leadership of Imam Mahdi whom they believe will turn down and give them a bai’at in Mecca. Related to the agenda of establishing the Islamic caliphate, there is an assumption that TJ is part of a radical and terrorist group with a disguised style. Moreover, some of the findings of previous studies have shown that TJ members in the UK were shown to be involved in the bombing of train stations in London and Madrid. Therefore, in the Indonesian context, this study aims to determine the response and efforts to countring radicalism carried out by TJ through peaceful proselytizing and anti-violence in their bayan, religious sermon. This research will be conducted for three years in five provinces, namely in West Nusa Tenggara, DKI Jakarta, East Kalimantan, East Java, and North Sulawesi by collecting samples from three headquarters in three districts or cities in each province. This research uses qualitative methods with an ethnographic approach to data collection and analysis
