IMPLEMENTASI JARH (KRITIK NEGATIF) DALAM PROSES STANDARISASI DA'I: TINJAUAN TERHADAP KITAB QAWAID AL-TAHDIS

Abstract

 The pros and cons of the Indonesian Ulema Council's (MUI) da'i certification programme reflect the complexity of this issue. Those in favour of certification argue that the main objective of the programme is to produce da'i who are enlightening and anti-radical. They believe that this certification will provide security and protection against potential deviations in the content of da'wah delivered by da'is. On the other hand, opponents of certification fear that the programme could reduce the number of volunteers who preach in the community. They argue that the selection process and standardisation applied by MUI is still unclear, so that it can lead to injustice in the assessment of preachers. This paper examines the Jarh theory that ‘Jarh people who are dhoif, as a form of Advice', by using the literature study in the book QAWAID AL-TAHDIS this research states that the existence of Jarh will improve the quality of Da'wah, Jarh will criticise the quality of scholars with the certification of Jarh people who are dhoif (weak) is important to maintain the quality of da'wah. By applying the principle of jarh through three stages, namely Certification by involving the local community, certification by involving community leaders, and analysis and feedback with fellow MUI in the certification process, da'i certification will be more structured and formal.
