Abstract

Modern communication today exists in a highly controlled setting which combines algorithm-driven content delivery with artificial media and the rise of post-truth falsehoods. Digital simulacra enable people to confuse actual existence with virtual existence which results in false information and knowledge division and public trust erosion. This study examines how the post-truth era creates an ethical crisis for communication through Jean Baudrillard's simulacra theory while Islamic moral philosophy serves as an alternative ethical system. The study uses qualitative library research methods to examine current research articles and philosophical works and academic texts that focus on digital communication and post-truth cultural practices and communication ethics and Islamic knowledge systems. Digital simulacra and algorithm-based communication systems create hyperreality but they also disrupt established truth standards and traditional ethical systems. Islamic moral philosophy provides a complete normative system through its fundamental concepts of al-haqq (truth) and shiddiq (truthfulness) and amanah (trustworthiness) and tabayyun (verification) and prophetic communication ethics and Qur’anic principles of al-qaulan. These principles provide ethical guidance for strengthening information integrity, promoting responsible digital citizenship, and cultivating an akhlak based digital ecosystem. The study introduces Digital Prophetic Communication Ethics as a reconstructive framework which helps solve the ethical and epistemological issues arising from present-day digital communication.

Abstract

This article examines digital uzlah as an Islamic communication ethic for responding to hyperconnectivity, algorithmic distraction, and the weakening of intrapersonal communication in contemporary society. Using qualitative library research, the study analyzes classical Islamic ethical thought, communication theory, critical media studies, and recent literature on digital detox, social media addiction, phubbing, echo chambers, self-control, and digital well-being. The analysis applies qualitative content analysis, critical discourse analysis, and philosophical hermeneutics to reinterpret uzlah from a classical practice of withdrawal into a selective, conscious, and spiritually oriented strategy of digital self-restraint. The findings show that hyperconnectivity converts attention into an economic resource, intensifies dependence on notifications and social validation, and reduces the reflective space needed for self-awareness, moral judgment, and remembrance of God. Digital uzlah is therefore proposed as a practical framework consisting of temporary disconnection, digital spatial curation, and cognitive curation. These practices help users filter harmful content, resist algorithmic pressure, reclaim time, and restore inner dialogue. The study concludes that digital uzlah is not technological rejection, but an ethical discipline that enables Muslims to use digital media with awareness, self-control, truthfulness, and spiritual responsibility in the post-truth era. It contributes to communication studies by linking spirituality, media ethics, and resilience

Abstract

The contemporary world creates challenges for Islamic preachers due to constant global connectivity and the rapid circulation of false information. This study examines how da’wah communicators manage anxiety while delivering religious messages in digital spaces. The research applies a qualitative library method by reviewing scientific journals, theoretical books, and academic publications on communication psychology and digital media published between 2020 and 2026. Content analysis and hermeneutic criticism are used to interpret the data, while Western communication theories are combined with Islamic interpretative perspectives. The findings show that many preachers experience anxiety that is not merely ordinary nervousness, but may develop into serious psychological pressure. This anxiety is shaped by difficult social situations, external expectations, public judgment, and the visual culture of digital media. Therefore, da’wah activists need to transform their organizational practices by integrating psychological strategies and spiritual values. Cognitive restructuring can help reduce stress, while tawakkal and qaulan sadida strengthen sincerity, ethical speech, and emotional stability. This study proposes an integrative framework for managing internal thought and external communication.
