Dakwah Messages in the Lyrics of the Song "Sandaran Hati" by Letto (Charles Sanders Peirce's Semiotic Analysis)
Abstract
The problem studied in this study is the da’wa message in the lyrics of the song
Sandaran Hati by the band Letto, the aim of knowing the da’wa message contained in the lyrics
of the song. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with Charles Sanders Pierce's
semiotic analysis technique, and uses the Da’wa Message theory by Moh. Ali Aziz. The results
of this study found that the meaning contained in the lyrics of Letto's song "Sandaran Hati" is
about a servant who is losing his way and is in a downturn in his life but he still believes that
Allah is the place to ask for help and the best place to lean on. The manifestation of the sacred
promise that is bound between the servant and his Lord is to carry out His commands in the form
of prayer. How a servant must be fully aware that prayer is only for a moment but must be done
wholeheartedly (khusyuk) because it can give peace of mind both physically and mentally.
Keywords: Da’wa Message, Song Lyrics, Charles Sanders Pierce's Semiotics.
