Ustaz Abdul Shomad's Da'wah Rhetoric in Attracting Public Interest in Listening to Da'wah Through YouTube Media

Using the media as a channel for da'wah is one efficient technique to spread the word about Islam in this age of rapidly advancing technology. In addition, the effectiveness of the way the da'wah is communicated affects how quickly the participants in da'wah receive the message. This essay explores the ways in which the sermonizing style of Ustaz Abdul Shomad piques people's interest in his sermons on YouTube. Descriptive qualitative research is the literary style used here. Direct observation and observation through seeing Ustaz Abdul Shomad's sermon broadcasts via Ustaz Abdul Shomad Official YouTube videos were used to gather data. Research conducted at libraries, which involves gathering information from books, journals, and earlier studies, is another method employed. On Ustaz Abdul Shomad Official's YouTube channel, data analysis was conducted utilizing the media analysis method. The study's findings indicated that Ustaz Abdul Shomad preached with a loud language style, a rising and falling tone and intonation, everyday language that was educational but still understandable for all groups, and facial expressions to pique people's interest in watching him on YouTube. As well as proper body language for the topics covered.


A. Introduction
Da'wah is an invitation to prudently apply the truth in accordance with Allah SWT's directives in order to achieve kindness and happiness in this life as well as the next.In a relatively large territory with great ethnic diversity, Islam is the deen (religion) that has the most impact on the souls and minds of different people, both in terms of race, culture, and nation.By definition, da'wah is an encouragement to follow Allah SWT's path or religion (Mahmuddin & Kusnadi, 2021).A preacher needs to be knowledgeable and intelligent not just in his field of expertise but also in the discourse that he uses to spread da'wah through spoken language.Ulama are crucial to the success or failure of a da'i in spreading the Islamic da'wah truth, and they must possess the knowledge and expertise to effectively communicate this truth to their partners in da'wah so that it is well-received (Asriadi, 2020).
Da'wah rhetoric evolved together with the growth of Islamic da'wah.Since Islam is a religion of da'wah-that is, a religion that guides people toward truth and faith by doing as Allah SWT commands, which includes spreading and carrying out Allah's commandments, adhering to the prophets' teachings, and encouraging many people to assist one another-the practice of da'wah has existed since the beginning of the Islamic era (Abdullah, 2009).In order to impact and make the congregation aware of the importance of Islamic values in daily life, the rhetoric of da'wah is implemented by asking for religious information in a variety of contexts.These media, societal, and individual ties are examples of da'wah communication.Individually, da'wah (da'i) providers use certain media to encourage people to practice Islam in their communities (Isina, 2013).
The artful use of rhetoric to persuade the public to accept the message is what distinguishes da'wah delivery.Preachers are expected to reply to different mad'u with greater wisdom in order for their sermons to advance knowledge and elevate mad'u values (Amalia Yunia Rahmawati, 2020).The millennial period has seen a rapid advancement in digital technology, which has altered human communication.Many people today utilize the internet and social media to spread virtual messages about da'wah because they are sensitive to digitalization.Because of this digitalization, millennials may now more easily acquire religious information online (Trilaksono et al., 2021).
Preachers can adapt their sermons utilizing a variety of techniques thanks to advanced technology, all the while taking into account the social, cultural, and technological context of their communities.It's critical to keep in mind that culture encompasses everything we acquire, particularly through our ideas, words, and deeds, in addition to what we are born with (Amalia Yunia Rahmawati, 2020).Da'wah operations can no longer be conducted using traditional techniques.Even yet, da'wah can still be conducted in the age of rapidly advancing digital technology through a variety of media, including print, electronic, and online media, as well as social media.The social network YouTube is one platform that can be used to spread da'wah messages.YouTube is currently the most widely used medium for sharing videos, thus missionary videos can be uploaded there (Hadiono & Nafi'ah, 2022).
There are da'i who actively practice using YouTube as a social media platform for da'wah and religious knowledge dissemination.Ustaz Abdul Somad, Ustaz Handy Bony, Ustaz Adi Hidayat, Ustaz Felix Siauw, Ustazah Oki Setiana Dewi, and other preachers are among those who have done this.Here, one of the advantages or perks that viewers can immediately experience is the usage of YouTube to spread da'wah messages.This bolsters the case for using YouTube as a new platform for communication for a variety of activities that can be done, including preaching (Prihantoro N P, Sifa Larasati, M. Fais Noor M, 2021).
In essence, da'wah through the media facilitates the Muslim community's access to knowledge and information about Islam.Da'wah on social media can facilitate religious study and assemblies for busy people, in addition to increasing their faith.Anyone can access sermon videos at any time and from any location by watching them through media.The issue is that preaching via social media-like YouTube, for example-will obviously differ from preaching in person.When da'wah is experienced in person rather than virtually, it is seen to be more beneficial.Individuals with a poor foundational knowledge of Islam will be particularly susceptible to misinformation in the media.
Whether or not the da'wah message reaches the da'wah partners is largely dependent on the terminology used in da'wah.To make Islamic teachings easy for mad'u to understand, a da'i needs to be a skilled speaker.One preacher whose sermons are frequently discovered on social media, particularly YouTube, is Ustaz Abdul Shomad.The official YouTube channel of Ustaz Abdul Shomad features numerous lectures with a variety of topics.The general population often hears the sermons of Ustaz Abdul Shomad.This is, of course, a result of his knowledge and ability to effectively convey da'wah messages.In light of the problem's background, the purpose of this study is to determine how Ustaz Abdul Shomad's sermonizing style piques people's interest in listening to his sermons on YouTube.
Comparable study was published in an essay titled Rhetorika Da'wah (Study of the Rhetoric of Da'wah Lulung Mumtazah) by Riza Zahriyal Falah and Siti Hidayati.The study's findings demonstrate that Lulung Mumtazah used body language, gestures, and language in her preaching.The language is conversational, straightforward, and informal.The emphasis, loud and low tones, and speaking pauses are the voice techniques used.Body language through the use of expressions on the face and eyes.This research differs from prior research in that it discusses the rhetoric used to draw viewers to Ustaz Abdul Somad's preaching broadcasts, whereas previous research concentrated on the rhetoric used in Lulung mumtazah's sermons.The author of this study exclusively examined Ustaz Abdul Somad's sermons on his official YouTube channel; in contrast, earlier studies included direct observation and interview techniques (Riza Zahriyal Falah, 2021).
Similar research was also conducted by Pira Saswita and Darul Ilmi, who published their findings in an article on the Handy Bonny YouTube channel titled Rhetoric of Da'wah Ustaz.This study combines content analysis techniques with qualitative inquiry.The study's findings indicated that Ustaz Handy Bonny employed conversational and question-and-answer style preaching.The study's conclusion discusses how the conversational style-which incorporates assonance, euphemism, hyperbole, and litotes-can be understood in terms of whether the message is direct or rhetorical.The research object of this study differs from that of earlier studies; Ustaz Abdul Shomad's preaching rhetoric is examined here, whereas Ustaz Handy Bonny's preaching rhetoric was covered in the earlier study (Pira Sawita, 2018). is used in this study.In order to acquire data for this study, interviews and video footage captured during Ustaz Abdul Shomad's sermons were employed.The study's findings indicated that Ustaz Abdul Somad did a good job at using rhetoric in his lectures.Word choice, tone, sentence structure, and whether or not the meaning is direct are all factors that Ustaz Abdul Somad considers when determining language style (Deni Yanuar, 2019).This study differs from earlier studies in that it examines Ustaz Abdul Shomad's sermonizing discourse through YouTube videos, whereas earlier studies made in-person observations.

B. Method
The purpose of this study is to determine how the sermonizing style of Ustaz Abdul Shomad piques people's interest in his sermons on YouTube.This kind of study is known as descriptive qualitative research, and it involves elucidating research findings verbally using justifications drawn from observations (Ramadhani, 2023).Using the video of Ustaz Abdul Shomad's lecture on that account from the YouTube channel Ustaz Abdul Shomad Official, observations were made as part of the data gathering technique.Literature studies aid in the gathering of data by compiling a variety of references from books, reputable journals, and earlier studies that are pertinent to the current study.In this study, the objects that have been researched are concluded as part of the data analysis technique.

C. Results and Discussion Da'wah Rhetoric
Rhetoric is derived etymologically from the Latin word "rhetorica," which means "the science of speaking," and the English word "rhetoric".The attributes of rhetoric as a science include accumulative, broad, empirical, and logical.Regarding nomenclature, Aristotle asserted unequivocally that rhetoric is a distinct science on par with other sciences.Rhetoric, as a science, also presents the truth by structuring communication in an ethical and effective manner rather than in an ostentatious and meaningless one (Sulistyarini, D. & Zainal, 2018).According to KBBI (2003), rhetoric can be interpreted as practical language skills and the art of conveying arguments skillfully and eloquently.Morrisan believes that what is meant by rhetoric is the art of building arguments and the art of speaking.In its development, rhetoric also includes the process of adapting ideas to society and adapting society to ideas through various types of messages.
According to Abidin, rhetoric refers to the art of speaking, both based on natural talent (talent) and technical ability.The art of speaking does not only mean speaking without a clear flow of thought and content but also the ability to speak and present a speech that is short, clear, concise, and impressive (Najamudin, 2021).Every Muslim has a duty to provide for the needs of others through da'wah, which must be done consistently with the hope of changing people's behavior for the benefit of Allah SWT.Activities related to da'wah also aim to improve the state of affairs by applying the principles of Islam.Thus, da'wah can be defined as the dissemination of Islamic ideas to people about the meaning of creation and perspectives on life (Kango, 2015).
Sermons, speeches, or da'wah, which are vital social activities and frequently occur in society, are examples of rhetoric in this context.The Friday sermon is a required action that Muslims must perform during Friday prayers.Preachers need to grasp rhetoric in order for sermons, or da'wah, to flow, fascinate, and touch the minds of the crowd.Thus, the effectiveness of da'wah can also be evaluated by the da'i/khatib's ability to communicate with the mad'u, the target of his da'wah, in addition to their mastery of Islamic principles and practices.Sheikh Muhammad Abduh states that there are three categories of people who confront da'wah based on its object.These groups confront each other in a different way based on the hadith's explanation of mad'u, which is to "speak to people according to level (a measure of ability) of intelligence" (Isina, 2013).
Because rhetoric is an art and model of speaking that is developed based on innate aptitude (talents) and technical skills, rhetoric and the science of communication and da'wah are closely related fields.On the other hand, communication is the exchange of information between people, groups, and groups within groupings.Another scientific field that clarifies how to call and invite someone to the truth is da'wah science.Oral da'wah, which is mainly done through sermons, speeches, or lectures, is a type of da'wah that is inextricably linked to Islamic beliefs.Preachers are strongly encouraged to master rhetoric in order to provide engaging and impactful sermons and lectures.A component of communication science is rhetoric.As is well known, communication is the process by which the communicator persuades the communican to behave in accordance with what he says, and this is consistent with da'wah.However, the significance of the message or information communicated still makes a difference.The communicant in da'wah is referred to as mad'u, and the communicator as da'i (Asriadi, 2020).This is very plausible if we examine the use of rhetoric in da'wah media more closely, including in formal education, the family setting, and even mass media.Because the situations and circumstances of the recipients, meaning the community, must also be taken into consideration in da'wah actions conducted through the media.As a result, the rhetoric used in various mediums will differ.To be more precise, the application of rhetoric in formal education is different from the application of rhetoric in other preaching mediums.From its application in a restricted setting to a more widespread setting via the media (Mukroni AB, 2022).

Da'wah Media
The term "media" is widely considered to encompass several forms of media, including audiovisual, web, and newspaper media.Nonetheless, a wide range of media, including publications and the music industry, offer information and enjoyment for different audiences.While not directly interacting with the public, certain sectors do support a variety of media endeavors.For example, Gallup conducts market research, Screen Services evaluates films, and the Press Association generates news.The word "media" refers to the information and entertainment goods that the media sector produces, as well as the forms of telecommunications that enable us to access those goods.There are numerous perspectives on media history and methods of study.Thus, media can be viewed as a means of providing a wider audience with amusement and knowledge (Ghafur, 2014).
In this instance, it is possible to understand da'wah media as aiding in the dissemination of messages from communicators (da'i) to the general public (mad'u).To put it another way, everything that may be used as a tool or source of support throughout the da'wah process serves to efficiently transmit concepts or messages from one communicator (da'i) to the next (mad'u).Preachers can accomplish their goals by selecting media that effectively conveys da'wah messages, given the abundance of available media.It is important to select da'wah media in accordance with communication principles.This is a decision-making situation.Selection, of course, entails expertise in realizing the selected person's full potential.Don't just decide to hold onto it and walk away.The borders of location and time are progressively being obliterated because we live in an era where knowledge is digitalized.This is made possible by the advancement of information technology.Preachers must be proficient in information technology since da'wah is a visual and auditory communication method that calls for the use of audiovisual media, such as social media and television (Aminuddin, 2016).

Profile of Ustaz Abdul Shomad

Ustaz Abdul Shomad's Da'wah Rhetoric
Rhetorical style or language style refers to the traits and qualities that a communicator have by nature.A communicator, known as a da'i when preaching, needs to have a distinctive language style in order to draw in his audience.Mad'u's evaluation of the da'i's communication of the da'wah message will be influenced by the way they speak.Three categories of language style are used in rhetoric: language style based on tone, language style based on word choice, and language style based on body language (Julherman, 2022).
Based on the analysis of Ustaz Abdul Shomad's preaching video on the Ustaz Abdul Shomad Official YouTube channel, it can be concluded that Ustaz Abdul Shomad uses distinctive language style, voice intonation, facial expressions, and body movements in his preaching rhetoric to draw people in and encourage them to listen to him preach-even on social media.
The following is an explanation of Ustaz Abdul Shomad's preaching rhetoric in attracting public interest in listening to his preaching via YouTube:

Ustaz Abdul Shomad's Language Style
Each person has a very different language style and has their characteristics.So, a preacher also has his own characteristics in language style.In his book, Goris Keraf reveals that there are four types of language style, namely language style based on word choice, language style based on tone, language style based on sentence structure, language style based on body movements, and language style based on whether the meaning is direct or not (Azana, 2023).Ustaz Abdul Shomad based on analysis of his preaching videos on YouTube, he uses many types of language styles in conveying his preaching.Ustaz Abdul Shomad's language style is based on word choice using formal language, regional language, everyday language and word choice in the form of questions that he asks when delivering his preaching message.Ustaz Abdul Shomad uses formal language when conveying something educational and Islamic theory, while in his explanations he also often mixes everyday language, regional languages and questions which he then answers himself.
Ustaz Abdul Shomad's preaching rhetoric in the use of language was analyzed in his lecture entitled "The Wisdom of the Umrah Journey".The place where he gave this lecture was at the Al-Insyad Kaluppang Mosque.This lecture was uploaded on the Ustaz Abdul Shomad Official YouTube channel on August 10 2023 (Official, 2023).Ustaz Abdul Shomad's formal language can be seen from his lecture excerpt when he paid tribute to important people who attended the event at his muqoddimah.An example of the use of regional language that he uses is when greeting the audience with the words "Apa Kareba?".This language is the language used by his congregation in the Kaluppang area.An example of using language with sentences in the form of questions is when he said, "What can we take from the value of Umrah and Hajj?" then he was the one who answered, "First, leave.People who have never performed Umrah are people who have never left...".Then, in another sentence, he asked, "Why do you say the call to prayer before leaving for Hajj?"He then answered back, "Because, in the past, many people who went for Hajj did not return home."In several excerpts from his lectures, Ustaz Abdul Shomad also often used humorous language which made the congregation laugh.
The use of formal language is adapted to the event he is attending.Usually, these events are events attended by state officials or local regional officials.However, even though Ustaz Abdul Shomad uses formal language, he combines it with everyday language.To attract the attention of mad'u, he often uses humorous and humorous language during his preaching.Ustaz Abdul Shomad also inserted regional language according to the area he visited.However, the use of regional language is usually only in the form of greetings to create closeness between him as a preacher and the local community as mad'u.The use of regional languages is less because, in general, the Ustaz Abdul Shomad Team will upload videos of their preaching to social media so that a wider audience can access them.The use of many regional languages will reduce the audience's understanding of the contents of the da'wah message, so the use of regional languages is only used in the form of greetings.

Ustaz Abdul Shomad's voice style
Ustaz Abdul Shomad's preaching rhetoric in intonation and tone of voice is analyzed in Ustaz Abdul Shomad's preaching video entitled "Practices at the End of Ramadhan 1444 H".The place where he gave this lecture was in Palembang.This lecture was uploaded to the Ustaz Abdul Shomad Official YouTube channel on April 19, 2023.The intonation and tone of Ustaz Abdul Shomad's voice are considered to attract the audience's attention when listening to his lecture.The tone of Ustaz Abdul Shomad's lecture based on the results of the analysis of his preaching videos on the YouTube channel is said to be very good.Ustaz Abdul Shomad can play and place high and low notes, voice pauses, fast and slow intonation, and slow notes that are adjusted to the understanding of each material he conveys.Based on an analysis of Ustaz Abdul Shomad's preaching video on the material "Practices at the End of Ramadhan 1444 H,".Ustaz Abdul Shomad uses a low tone in the sentence, "So whatever practices according to the sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad that we will carry out, this is what we will discuss."This sentence in a low tone delivers the lecture before entering the primary material.Ustaz Abdul Shomad uses a tone with rising intonation but stable volume in the sentence "Minimum i'tikaf, uniting day and night and fasting."He also conveyed a high intonation when asking the audience, "What about women, Mr. Ustaz?"Then he answered himself with a lower intonation "Tsumma' takafar azwajuhum mim ba'dih, after the Prophet SAW died, his wife remained i'tikaaaaaaff...".With long stressed sentence ends.In sentences that contain elements of prohibition, he also often uses a direct and firm tone, such as in the sentence, "Don't go to the mosque with narrow mukena trousers worn at the back of your neck, ride a motorbike in leggings, many atok-atoks enter the paret because of looking at that" (Official, 2023).Based on the analysis of the video entitled "Practices at the End of Ramadhan", Ustaz Abdul Shomad uses soft, low, and stable tones more often than high tones.However, even though the tone he produces is a low, stable tone, his pronunciation and articulation can still be heard clearly.Ustaz Abdul Shomad also pays great attention to the tone emphasis and the high and low tones based on the theme raised.On the theme "Practices at the End of Ramadhan," Ustaz Abdul Shomad used a stable tone and was not enthusiastic because the theme discussed was relatively light.However, in lectures with the theme of doom, doomsday, and retribution, Ustaz Abdul Shomad usually uses a firmer and louder intonation.This has a significant influence on Mad'u's appreciation of the preaching material he conveys so that he can attract the public's attention in listening to his preaching.

Ustaz Abdul Shomad's Body Movements and Facial Expressions
Body movements are part of non-verbal communication.Body movements help strengthen the voice and help balance the tone of a preacher.Ustaz Abdul Shomad, based on his lecture videos on the YouTube channel, uses a lot of body movements as language symbols that can help transfer messages between da'i and mad'u.Body movements are also considered to increase the effectiveness in digesting the contents of the da'wah messages received by Mad'u (Deni Yanuar, 2019).
There are four aspects studied to determine Ustaz Abdul Shomad's preaching rhetoric based on body movements, namely body posture, appearance and clothing, facial expressions, and eye gaze.Based on the analysis of several Ustaz Abdul Shomad videos on YouTube, it can be concluded that Ustaz Abdul Shomad conveys his preaching message with a body posture, standing straight, and sitting calmly.He applied this posture of standing straight and sitting calmly according to the conditions of the event.This proves that Ustaz Abdul Shomad also pays attention to his mad'u's needs and mad'u's comfort when listening to his lectures.However, if you search based on videos on YouTube channels, his standing or sitting position remains the same because the camera beam clearly shows his face and body movements.The following is a picture of Ustaz Abdul Shomad lecturing in a sitting and standing position.It is evident that Ustaz Abdul Shomad always keeps himself wellgroomed and polite.Upon reviewing his sermon videos, it became evident that he regularly wears black koko shirts and caps.Occasionally, he also sports a turban that drapes over his shoulders when giving a lecture.Ustaz Abdul Shomad's visit was favorably received by the audience, who felt that before he could teach them how to dress modestly and morally, he had a duty as a preacher to provide an example of appropriate Islamic clothing.Ustaz Abdul Shomad has donned the following ensembles during lectures across the globe.Ustaz Abdul Shomad, when delivering his preaching, often moves his hands and has a smiling facial expression when preaching.The expression on his face is instrumental in lightening the atmosphere.Ustaz Abdul Shomad's eyes are also constantly moving to be able to look at all the mad'u to create a connection between him as the speaker and the audience.Ustaz Abdul Shomad also uses hand movements, which make it easier for the audience to understand the meaning he wants to convey.Source: YouTube Ustaz Abdul Shomad Official There is also an underlying da'wah message in the way he interacts with the mad'u, speaks, and wears.His use of communication skills developed into a specialty that helped him become well-known for his style of preaching.Then, people are drawn to his sermons because of this.In addition to his vast knowledge, he has the ability to effectively communicate it, ensuring that the word of da'wah reaches the mad'u as well.
An integral part of Indonesian society is language.This is demonstrated by the widespread use of Indonesian in both formal and informal contexts throughout many facets of Indonesian life.Language facilitates effective communication.Each person has unique language abilities, or what is known as distinct language features, as previously discussed (Komalasari, 2018).

D. Conclusion
