    ABSTRAK Buya Hamka is a preacher and mufassir who spreads his message through teaching modern Sufism, where modern Sufism is a new breakthrough among Sufism developed by Sufis. Buya Hamka also has a phenomenal work, namely Tafsir Al-Azhar, which also contains modern Sufism teachings in his interpretation. This journal aims to find out Hamka's conceptual interpretation which is in synergy with Sufistic da'wah in the practical application of Islamic da'wah. The method used in this research is qualitative-descriptive with a content analysis approach, namely the author attempts to study and analyze whether there is a connection between the Sufistic verses in Al Azhar's interpretation and the Sufism verses that he quotes in his lecture. The findings from this study are that in Al-Azhar Buya Hamka's tafsir explains more the meaning of the isyarah, while Buya Hamka's oral tafsir in his lecture looks different, this can be seen from the verses which summarize verbally in Buya Hamka's Sufism lecture, he quoted a verse from the Koran and explained the meaning of the verse in accordance with its natural meaning, which shows that Buya Hamka's oral interpretation in his lecture seemed to stand alone without being based on it. Buya Hamka's written interpretation is Tafsir Al Azhar. Keywords: Preaching, Sufism, Buya Hamka, Tafsir Al-Azhar. Abstrak Buya Hamka merupakan salah satu pendakwah dan sekaligus mufassir yang menyebarkan dakwahnya lewat pengajaran tasawuf modern, yang mana tasawuf modern ini merupakan terobosan baru di antara tasawuf yang dikembangkan para sufi. Buya Hamka juga memiliki sebuah karya fenomenal yaitu tafsir Al-Azhar, yang terdapat juga pengajaran tasawuf modern didalam tafsirnya. Jurnal ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penafsiran Hamka secara konseptualisasi yang bersinergi dengan dakwah sufistik dalam penerapan dakwah Islam praktis. Metode yang dipakai dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan analisis konten, yaitu penulis berupaya untuk mengkaji dan menganalisa apakah ada keterkitan antara ayat-ayat sufistik didalam tafsir Al-Azhar dan ayat-ayat tasawuf yang beliau kutip dalam ceramahnya. Adapun hasil temuan dari kajian ini adalah, bahwa dalam tafsir Al Azhar Buya Hamka lebih banyak menjelaskan makna isyarahnya, sedangkan tafsir oral Buya Hamka dala, ceramahnya terlihat berbeda, hal ini terlihat dari ayat-ayat yang ditafsirkan secara oral didalam ceramah tasawuf Buya Hamka, beliau mengutip ayat Al-Quran dan menjelaskan makna dari ayat tersebut sesuai dengan makna lahiriyahnya, yang mana terlihat bahwa tafsir oral Buya Hamka dalam ceramahnya terkesan berdiri sendiri tanpa mendasari dengan tafsir tulis Buya Hamka yaitu Tafsir Al-Azhar.
