Indonesian Council for Islamic Daʿwa
The Indonesian Council for Islamic Daʿwa ( Dewan Daʿwah Islamiyah Indonesia , abbreviation DDII ) is an Indonesian Daʿwa organization that leaned heavily on Saudi Arabia . The council was founded in 1967 by Muhammad Natsir and other leaders of the Masyumi (Masjumi) party. Through the DDII and the Saudi Institute for the Study of Islam and the Arabic Language ( Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Islam dan Bahasa Arab ; LIPIA) founded in Jakarta in 1980 , the Wahhabi form of Islam in Indonesia received a strong boost in the 1980s. The return of LIPIA graduates who had graduated from Saudi Arabia and participated in the war in Afghanistan marked the birth of a generation of Wahhabi who spread Salafist teachings .
Mohammed Natsir presided over the Masyumi party and later the DDII. The process of transition from party politics (Masyumi) to Daʿwa (DDII), examined by many authors
"Was accompanied by a parallel transformation of the attitude of leading personalities of the former Masjumi party towards constitutional democracy, reformist conceptions of Islam, and the Western world from a more positive attitude to quite a negative one."
