SAJAK-SAJAK BADARUDDIN H.O. BERTEMAKAN KETUHANAN: ANALISIS PENDEKATAN DAKWAH

Abstract

This paper analyses the poems of Badaruddin H.O., a famous poet of Brunei
whose work is Islamic-themed with particular reference to God. The works
examined include “Although Your Home In The Hereafter” (Meski Rumah
Mu Di Akhirat), “Istighfar Rejab” (Istighfar Rejab), “This Is Not My Baby”
(Ini Zat Bukan Bayangku), “Tsunami’s Episodes” (Episod-Episod Tsunami),
“It’s Fate” (Takdir Itu Begini), “In The Holy Night of Ramadan” (Di Malam
Kudus Ramadan), and “White Stick” (Tongkat Putih). His poems are then
analysed through a da’wah (missionizing) theoretical approach, which identifies
da’wah elements that display the majesty of God, and the gentle language style
that conveys the religious message.

Keywords: Malay methodology, da’wah, prophecy, rukun Islam, rukun Iman.
