Abstract:
This study analyses and compares the concept of civil society to be a relatively new concept for multicultural people. This study aims to identify the model of an ideal society from two concepts: Madani and Madinah society as well as reconstructing da�wah strategies in the context of State. In relation to this, this paper found that the Madani (civil society) and Madinah are two different things both in concept and historically. The civil concept will also be facing many obstacles in its application for the majority of Muslims, which are different from western society. For practical implication, the study shows that if Madani concept will be actualised in the discourse of a multicultural society, then a concept is needed, there needs to be continuous and systematic measures that could change the paradigm, habits, and lifestyle of the people of the state. And for social implications its activating the teaching of the universal value system, presently addressing the multi-dimensional crisis. Islam has all of the formulas needed by the government, primarily how the Islamic values of Islam are placed simultaneously and applied to be the main capital for community development.
