Indonesia Institute of Islamic Dawah


Indonesia Institute of Islamic Dawah is one of the Islamic community organizations in Indonesia that focuses on preaching and teaching Islam based on the Qur'an and Hadith. This organization is known to have rapid development, with an estimated number of non-members who participate in activities or are influenced by its preaching reaching more than 30 million people. However, LDII also faced a number of controversies that accompanied its organizational journey.

History

LDII was founded on July 1, 1972 in Kediri City, East Java, with the initial name of the Islamic Employee Institution Foundation. The establishment of this organization was based on the Notarial Deed of Mudijomo dated July 27, 1972, which was a correction of the Deed dated January 3, 1972 regarding the determination of the date of establishment of LEMKARI. This institution was founded by several figures, namely:
  1. Drs. Nur Hasyim;
  2. Drs. Edi Masyadi;
  3. Drs. Bahroni Hertanto;
  4. Soetojo Wirjo Atmodjo, BA;
  5. Wijono, BA.
In 1981, through the YAKARI Grand Conference, the name of the organization was changed to the Islamic Employee Institution. Furthermore, at the Fourth LEMKARI Grand Conference in 1990, the name of the organization was changed again to the Indonesia Institute of Islamic Dawah. This change was made at the direction of the Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia at that time, Sudharmono, and Rudini. The name "LEMKARI" was changed because it was considered similar to the abbreviation of the Indonesian Karate-Do Institute.
