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.

Abstract

The digital era has created a completely different way for religious messages to be distributed which has transformed the operation of da’wah authority. The system evolved from traditional institutional frameworks to contemporary virtual networks which individual users created. This research investigates how digital da’wah trendsetters use organizational communication network theory to study their activities within new media environments. Through a literature review this study wants to reconceptualize the structure of da’wah organizations that are no longer held back by institutional walls which is a boundaryless organization but instead are controlled by algorithms and the node centrality of a trendsetter. The conceptual findings show that trendsetters on social media like YouTube and Instagram and TikTok actually function as Top Management in a virtual organization! The followers in this arrangement function as subordinates who willingly choose to reproduce and distribute and validate the da’wah messages. This dynamic creates a flow of information that is just massive and it is vulnerable to algorithmic bias and the fragmentation of religious authority. This article provides a conceptual synthesis that positions da’wah social media accounts as more than just media channels. The social media accounts function as an organizational communication ecosystem which has its own organizational structure that operates through hidden power dynamics and organizational culture.
