I utilised the comprehensive religious historical and philological approaches following the methodology of Sultan, Nabilah Lubis, and Suleman Essop Dangor to complement al-Maqassarī‟s history, his literary contribution in general and to gain the essence of his Maṭālib al-Sālikῑn through commentaries. I also used hermeneutic‟s theory for interpreting some of the texts. Shaykh Yūsuf (1626-1699) is considered a national hero of Indonesia and South Africa. His movements from Gowa South Sulawesi to other countries including the Middle East were motivated by his wish to deepen his understanding of Islamic mysticism. This was supported by his local teachers and the needs of Gowa Kingdom for a qualified Islamic scholar to convert its animistic society into real and fervent Muslims. This responsibility fostered in him a sense of bravery and adventure, and he ended up wandering around the world in search of knowledge. In their purpose to rule the East Indian countries and remove his influence over his fellow citizens, the Dutch banished Shaykh Yūsuf initially to Ceylon and then to Cape of Good Hope, South Africa (1684-1699). He left behind a large body of literary contributions, many of them still preserved at UB Leiden and the National Library of Jakarta. His Maṭālib al-Sālikῑn holds a special place among his literary contributions. It discusses three important issues that are illustrated with parables which should be understood by spiritual seekers; namely tawḥῑd, ma‘rifa, and „ibāda {Divine Knowledge, Divine Recognition and Worship]. They constitute a tree with leaves, branches, and fruit. Its practitioners are directed to the Oneness of God and to none other. These teachings have become a foundation of his reformist ideas and a basis to build his Islamic community in South Africa and finally to be implemented in his own ṣūfī order, Ṭarīqat al-Yūsufiyya/Khalwatiyyat al-Yūsufiyya.Religious Studies and ArabicD.

Adapun metode yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif untuk menggambarkan tentang apa yang dimaksud di atas, karena bahasa dan dakwah saling berkaitan dan tidak bisa dipisahkan satu sama lain karena bahasa merupakan anugerah Ilahi yang di gunakan manusia untuk berinteraksi dalam kehidupannya termasuk berdakwah. Tulisan ini menunjukkan bahwa: (l) Baik bahasa verbal maupun non verbal mempunyai fungsi yang sangat penting dalam dakwah Islam. Bahasa verbal berfungsi sebagai wahana pengenal, wahana interaksi sosial dalam kegiatan dakwah bi al-lisan dan bi al-qalam serta bi al-hal. Sedangkan bahasa non verbal berfungsi sebagai wahana pengenal, wahana interaksi sosial, sebagai pengganti dan pelengkap yang memperjelas bahasa verbal dalam kegiatan dakwah bi al-hal dan dakwah lewat lukisan.

Tulisan ini menyimpulkan adanya kesamaan antara keduanya, minimal budaya Islam dapat menerima beberapa budaya luar sebagai sebuah ungkapan sopan seperti salam, kontak pandang selama bicara , memberikan perhatian terhadap apa yang disampaikan lawan bicara. Namun di sisi lain, perbedaan juga tidak dapat dihindari, ketika terjadi interaksi sosial antara pemberi dan penerima, di mana dalam Islam baik pemberi dan penerima sebaiknya menggunakan tangan kanan bukan tangan kiri, sementara budaya Barat keduanya sama saja. Demikian pula terjadinya komunikasi, terutama persoalan jarak antara kedua pasang manusia yang sedang bercinta, bersentuhan dan segala sesuatu yang menjurus kepada sensitifitas seksual. Dalam kaitan ini, Islam memiliki aturan ...

Meskipun Sheikh Yusuf berpegang teguh pada transendensi Allah, ia percaya bahwa Allah meliputi segala sesuatu (al-ahathah) dan ada di mana-mana (al-maiyyah) atas ciptaan-Nya. Namun, dia sangat berhati-hati untuk tidak mengikat dirinya dengan doktrin panteisme dengan mengatakan, meskipun Allah muncul sendiri dalam ciptaan-Nya, itu tidak berarti bahwa ciptaan-Nya adalah Allah sendiri, semua ciptaan hanyalah makhluk alegoris atau metaforis (al -maujud al-majazi), bukan wujud yang sebenarnya (al-maujud haqiqi). Jadi, menurut Syekh Yusuf, kata Tuhan dalam ciptaan-Nya tidak berarti kehadiran Allah sendiri dalam diri mereka, tetapi sifat ilmunya-Nyalah meliputi hamba-Nya, dan keadaannya yang bersama dengan hamba-Nya, bukan keadaan hamba bersama-sama dengan Allah, karena itu tidak mungkin, kecuali ...
