Da’wah or efforts to guide mankind to Allah are obligation to all Muslims. One of the divisions of da’wah methods is through writing. It is a tradition of scholars to disseminate knowledge through that medium. cAbdullah al-Ghumari (w.1993) is a figure and he was called by others as al-mutafannin (polymath) because of his mastery and writing which covers various fields of Islamic knowledge. Abdullah al-Ghumari came to serve as a responsive and progressive figure on current issues that occurred in the lives of Muslims through his writings. This study aims to identify the role of Abdullah al-Ghumari from the perspective of his writings and da’wah involvement. Qualitative designs were applied in this article using a content analysis approach that focused on the group of writings of Abdullah al-Ghumari and supported by several biographical and bibliographical literacies that related to him.
