Deconstruction of Radicalism Narratives Through The Tabligh Approach: A Library Research Of Islamic Political Communication In Public Security Maintenance Strategies

Abstract

The rapid transformation of digital communication has fundamentally reshaped the dissemination of religious narratives within the contemporary public sphere. Alongside the expansion of digital da'wah, radical ideological narratives increasingly exploit social media algorithms, religious influencers, and fragmented information ecosystems to construct persuasive political identities capable of influencing social cohesion and public security. This article aims to analyze how the tabligh approach within Islamic political communication can function as a strategy for deconstructing radicalism narratives while strengthening public order and security (kamtibmas). Employing a qualitative library research design through systematic literature review, this study synthesizes recent scholarly works on prophetic communication, digital da'wah, religious authority, algorithmic communication, political Islam, and digital media transformation. The analysis demonstrates that radical narratives no longer rely solely on theological arguments but increasingly utilize persuasive visual communication, algorithmic amplification, emotional framing, and identity politics. Consequently, conventional counter-radicalization strategies emphasizing security enforcement alone become insufficient. The study argues that tabligh should be reconstructed as a prophetic communication paradigm integrating ethical persuasion, dialogical engagement, digital literacy, and inclusive religious authority. Such an approach enables Islamic political communication to produce persuasive counter-narratives grounded in mercy, moderation, and social cohesion while simultaneously strengthening community resilience against ideological polarization. The findings contribute conceptually to Islamic political communication by positioning prophetic tabligh not merely as religious preaching but as a comprehensive political communication strategy capable of maintaining democratic stability, strengthening social harmony, and supporting sustainable public security within Indonesia's increasingly digitalized communication environment.
