Muhammadiyah, as an Islamic movement rooted in amar ma’ruf nahi munkar (enjoining good and forbidding evil) and tajdid (renewal), plays a historical and strategic role in advancing the ummah and the nation. This paper aims to comprehensively examine the theological foundations, actualization, and evolution of Muhammadiyah's da'wah and renewal movements. This study utilizes a literature review method by analyzing primary and secondary sources related to the organization. The findings indicate that: Theological Foundations of Da'wah: Stem from the Qur'an (such as Surah Ali Imran: 104, 110, and An-Nahl: 125) and are reinforced by the theology of Al-Ma'un, which emphasizes tangible social care. Actualization of Da'wah: Implemented multidimensionally through da'wah bil lisan (verbal), da'wah bil hal (real action through charitable institutions), da'wah bil qalam (written), cultural da'wah, and community da'wah. In the modern era, da'wah has also expanded into constitutional channels (monitoring public policy and judicial review) and digital da'wah to reach the younger generation. The Movement of Tajdid: Encompasses two main pillars, namely purifikasi (purification of faith and worship) and dinamisasi (modernization of worldly affairs) through collective ijtihad by the Council for Tarjih and Renewal. Tajdid serves as Muhammadiyah's adaptive response to social change—ranging from education, health, and contextual fiqh, to the concept of Progressive Islam (Islam Berkemajuan).
