KESENIAN SEBAGAI MEDIA DAKWAH: KALIGRAFI, MUSIK, DAN ARSITEKTUR DALAM PERSPEKTIF HUKUM ISLAM

Abstract

Art in Islamic civilisation is not merely an aesthetic expression, but also a means of preaching that contains moral, spiritual and religious values. Calligraphy, music and architecture are concrete examples of how art has been transformed into a medium for communicating Islam. This article aims to examine the role of art in the Islamic perspective, focusing on three main forms, namely calligraphy, music, and architecture. The method used is library research with a qualitative-descriptive approach. The results of the study show that calligraphy represents the value of monotheism through the beauty of the writing of the verses of the Qur'an; music in the Islamic context serves as a medium for strengthening spirituality and reminding people of the greatness of Allah while still observing the limits of Sharia law; while Islamic architecture not only prioritises function, but also reflects aesthetic values and the meaning of worship. Thus, art has a significant contribution in strengthening Islamic da'wah, both symbolically and practically, so that it can become a universal bridge of communication between cultures.
