Spirituality is considered as an essential component of human development. Human development from spiritual perspective involving physical and internal human. It serves as a catalyst for further development, particularly for the community well-being such as the indigenous people. The preacher (Muslim propagator) is considered as the key factor behind the success of da’wah (propagation) among the indigenous communities. In this case, they must be well prepared in doing da’wah including spiritual preparation. In order to develop and produce competent preachers to the indigenous communities, particularly preachers among their own tribes, this study attempts to identify the spiritual components that are required in performing da’wah. How do those components meet the requirements for the spiritual development of indigenous preachers? Therefore, to achieve this particular objective, the study also aims to investigate the expert panel's agreement in the process of confirming the necessity for spiritual aspects in the development of indigenous preacher competency. The methodology of the study employs the Fuzzy Delphi design by using purposive sampling to fourteen indigenous community da’wah experts. Triangular fuzzy numbers are used to analyze the data, and the 'defuzzication' procedure is used to determine the positions of the elements. The study revealed that the indigenous community preachers need to focus on developing three key areas related to spiritual aspect, namely the faith, worship and morality. The results of this study unequivocally support the establishment of a spiritual development framework for indigenous community preachers, which can serve as a point of reference for government and non-governmental organizations seeking to improve their understanding of Islam for the benefit of the welfare of indigenous people. The studies done on this subject have brought to light a number of new topics that require investigation. These consist of carrying out additional research to assess the product's usability, closely examining the preacher development model indigenous's design, and applying the same methodology to develop a training programme meant to educate indigenous preachers and foster internal cooperation.
