Abstract

There is a major problem with the community who gives speeches in mentioning the profile of God's status as God. The Batak Islamic Wirid Association is a community that has nuances of da'wah moments about the teachings of Islam. The problem highlighted is how the personification of the lexeme of Allah is conveyed by Islamic preachers? The purpose of discussing the problems in this article is to explain some of the personifications of the lexeme of Allah conveyed by Islamic preachers in preaching activities, especially when the orator personifies Allah as Rabb. Even though the preachers only "already" personified the lexeme of Allah / Rabb so that their da'wah material could become more interesting for the listeners. With this condition, the researcher wants to explain to the converts to realize that there is a wrong action of the orator when lexeme Allah with a personification stylistic model. Personification language style is a style of speech that contains the behavior of people pinned on inanimate objects. All objects or circumstances can be likened to act like the actions of people or humans. Example: palm trees waving to take us back to the future. In the lexeme, Inyiur seems to act like a person's hand that can wave his hand. Even though Inyiur is a coconut leaf. So the number of lexemes of Allah/Rabb cannot be taken by human actions. Allah / Rabb there is nothing that resembles the limbs and behavior of humans.
