“…The same thing was done by scholars towards FPI, by looking at the future of this Islamic movement after the government banned it. The future of Islamic populism will continue, especially those that the FPI has carried out Ilmu Dakwah: Academic Journal for Homiletic Studies 17(1) (2023) 79-100 (Yilmaz & Barton, 2021a). This is because the regional head elections in Indonesia always use Islamic populism as the key to victory.…”

In 2017 the Indonesian government has officially banned two Islamic da'wah movements, HTI (Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia) and FPI (Islamic Defenders Front). These two da'wah movements are considered to be contrary to Pancasila ideology because they want to establish an Islamic state (Khilafah) in Indonesia. The focus of this research was carried out in the branch areas of HTI and FPI, namely in West Java and Banten. The data in this paper come from direct observation, in-depth interviews and documentation review. This paper finds differences in the pattern of the dakwah movements of HTI and FPI after they were disbanded, both in the dissemination of ideas and in the pattern of recruitment. HTI implemented a massive migration in preaching the idea of a khilafah from direct (offline) efforts to indirect (online) efforts. In its recruitment, HTI continues to maintain its conventional efforts through face-to-face preaching (Daurah), with the addition of using wing organizations as its spearhead. Meanwhile, the decline in the da'wah movement occurred in FPI, mainly due to the absence of the Grand Imam Rizieq Shihab and the loss of elite support for them. Even so, FPI continues to maintain its da'wah activities by disseminating its ideas through recitations at its activist headquarters, mosques and Islamic boarding schools. This research can contribute to the enrichment of the analysis of the hidden da'wah movement that occurs in the field, especially with the front stage and back stage approaches of Erving Goffman.

Islam is not present in a society empty of culture but is here to find local traditions that develop and run amid a pluralistic society so that local traditions are maintained and packaged with Islamic values. Among the local traditions still growing in the community is "incense-burning", a routine Friday night ceremony and a part of the agricultural process in Lembur Sawah Hamlet, West Bandung Regency. Using interview and observation techniques, this qualitative research described local religious leaders (ajengan) as cultural intermediaries between Islam as a world religion and local beliefs.The figures Ajengans referred to in this article are the Kiais (Islamic scholars) of Pesantren (Islamic boarding school) who influenced society; they had merged into Nahdlatul Ulama, culturally and structurally. The results showed that the community understood local traditions as shari'a that must be followed. Therefore, they represented the "sunnah of their ancestors," even though they did not understand the symbolic meaning of the tradition. Here, the religious scholars of Islam played a role in straightening existing traditions combined with traditions with Islamic nuances, namely, incense-burning activities in tahlilan, Yasinan, khotmil Qur'an, shahriahan, and manakiban events. Also, the ajengans played a role as role models. Finally, the primary function of ajengans was to preserve existing traditions as part of a willing attitude toward local culture. Here, they modified deviant local traditions with Islamic nuances that did not violate the Islamic creed.
