Abstract

ABSTRACT

This paper discusses a method of strengthening the aqidah of adolescents through the preaching of targhīb and tarhib. Aqidah issues such as liberalism and secularism have a negative impact on adolescent beliefs. Therefore, there is a need for a mechanism for repelling the influence of this group through the approaches of targhīb and tarhib. The document analysis method is used in collecting data for discussing this dakwah approach to strengthen the faith of adolescents. The issue of aqidah is very closely related to a person’s religious faith. Problems related to religion are appropriate to use the da’wah approach to solve them. The dakwah approach of targhīb and tarhib contained in al-Quran, which is based on psychology and religion is very appropriate for humans, especially adolescents. Thus, this article analysed the concept of targhīb and tarhibda’wah approach in al-Quran as a method to strengthen aqidah of adolescents. The results of the analysis provide an understanding that this approach is very suitable to be used in an effort to call and invite people, especially adolescents so that their aqidah is firm and exact. This approach is effective for efforts to stabilize adolescent aqidah in order to motivate them to perform practices which accord with shariah.
