Abstract

This study aims to examine the religious moderation promoted by Ahmadiyah through the website. The Ahmadiyah religious moderation discourse is related to the struggle for identity in the public sphere. This study is qualitative with documentation data collection techniques, namely digging documents containing religious moderation texts found on the Ahmadiyah website. The data are analyzed using a new media approach, which is an approach that sees a text that appears on a new media website as connected to the traditional text of the Holy Book. However, because website media texts relate to the offline world, external factors from social complexity also affect website text building. The results of the study indicate that internally the religious moderation text constructed by Ahmadiyah online comes from its ideology which is indeed fighting for peace and non-violence jihad. Meanwhile, externally, complex social realities in the midst of mainstream authorities and the state also contribute to the moderation text of the Ahmadiyya religion. The values of moderation promoted by Ahmadiyah are, first, supporting the strengthening of nationality by developing the concept of a spiritual and moral caliphate, not a political and militaristic caliphate. Second, strengthening peace and non-violence by encouraging jihad with a pen (jihad bi al-qalam) in response to various emerging social issues. Third, strengthening religious tolerance and freedom by emphasizing openness, not coercion in religion. Fourth, strengthening the existence of local culture by optimizing universal Islamic teachings. In the context of the Ahmadiyya as a minority, the discourse on religious moderation can be said to be an effort to struggle for Ahmadiyya identity in the public sphere in the midst of the mainstream and state authorities. However, this identity struggle seems to be hampered by the problem of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's (MGA) prophetic position. Therefore, a more massive dialogue is needed with the local Muslim mainstream.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the trends of digital Islamic narratives: whether to strengthen or reject offline Islamic authorities. Methodologically, this qualitative research focuses on Islamic YouTube channels in Indonesia. The results show that religious narratives in the online space have several tendencies based on three types of groups. First, free and progressive Muslim youth groups create provocative religious content to divide and create a new authority system that is entirely different from offline religious authorities. This group tends to oppose religious authorities in the offline space. Second, young religious fanatics tend to present famous figures (celebrities) they admire and try to strengthen the authority of these figures. Third, mainstream religious groups, such as Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah, and splinter religious groups, such as Salafism-Wahabism, Shia, and Ahmadiyah. Their online religious activities seek to strengthen the authority of their respective groups in a contested manner. It can be seen that religious narratives in the online space are not single but varied, which works on the orientation of each group and exacerbates the complexity of religious narratives in the public sphere. This study contributes to the importance of organizing Islamic digital space so that the narratives voiced are narratives that do not divide people but rather bring peace to others as a manifestation of the values of rahmatan lil alamin.

Abstract

Purpose - The transformative power of new media has revolutionized the practice of Islamic da'wah. This article examines the implications of the intersection of religion and new media for contemporary da'wah practices.Method - This study uses qualitative research with a new media and da'wah approach. Data was obtained by online observation of da’wah social media that featured or involved several da’wah figures in Indonesia.Result - This study found that testing the 5 Cs (Communication, Collaboration, Community, Creativity, and Convergence) that characterize new media shows a different form of da'wah in new media from the construct of da'wah in the conventional era. In the new media era, for example, da'wah is understood as open communication that allows the preacher and the recipient to exchange messages simultaneously. In new media, da'wah is also a collaborative activity that allows everyone to collaborate to support a da'wah idea. New media-based da'wah is also characterized by the existence of various da'wah communities spread across multiple platforms, the creativity of various actual content that is by various issues developing in society, as well as the combination of numerous media which makes da'wah content in new media available completely, openly, and easily accessed.Implication - Academically, this study has implications for enriching preaching theories in the contemporary world, while practically, this study has implications for the importance of preachers in adapting to the dynamics produced by new media.Originality/Value - The originality of this research lies in its novelty, which focuses on changes in preaching due to new media that have received little attention from previous researchers.***Tujuan - Media baru telah mengubah praktik dakwah Islam. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji implikasi pertemuan agama dan media baru terhadap praktik dakwah kontemporer.Metode - Studi ini menggunakan jenis penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan media baru dan dakwah. Data diperoleh melalui observasi online terhadap website dan media sosial dakwah yang menampilkan atau melibatkan beberapa tokoh dakwah di Indonesiat.Hasil - Studi ini menemukan bahwa pengujian 5 C (Communication, Collaboration, Community, Creativity, dan Convergence) yang menjadi ciri media baru menunjukkan adanya bentuk dakwah yang berbeda dalam new media dengan konstruk dakwah pada era konvensional. Di era media baru misalnya, dakwah dipahami sebagai komunikasi terbuka yang memungkinkan pendakwah dan penerimanya bertukar pesan secara simultan. Selain itu, dalam media baru, dakwah juga dipahami sebagai kegiatan kolaboratif yang memungkinkan semua orang bekerja sama untuk mendukung suatu gagasan dakwah. Dakwah berbasis media baru juga ditandai dengan adanya berbagai komunitas dakwah yang tersebar di berbagai platform, kreativitas berbagai konten aktual yang sesuai dengan berbagai isu yang berkembang di masyarakat, serta perpaduan berbagai media yang menjadikan dakwah di media baru bekerja dalam mode yang utuh, terbuka, dan mudah diaskses.Implikasi - Secara akademis studi ini berimplikasi pada pengayaan teori-teori dakwah dalam dunia kontemporer sedangkan secara praktis studi ini berimplikasi pada pentingnya pendakwah dalam beradaptasi dengan dinamika yang dihasilkan oleh media baru.Orisinalitas/Nilai - Keaslian penelitian ini terletak pada kebaruannya yang berfokus pada perubahan dakwah akibat media baru yang belum banyak mendapat perhatian dari peneliti sebelumnya.

Abstract

This article aims to conduct a conceptual review of the identity of diaspora religious communities. This study uses a literature review approach, to map (1) minority religious identities in new media; (2) opportunities and possibilities for the formation of imagined communities for minority religious groups through new media; and (4) diaspora spaces for minority religious communities in new media. This study confirms that these digital religious communities are formed as “imagined religious communities,” which are an opposition to conventional religion. Those who join these digital communities usually come from various social pressures in real (physical) space. They are digitally formed with an orientation to produce and maintain ‘religious/belief’ identities more freely. This study contributes theoretically to strengthening the literature related to diaspora religious identities in digital space.

Abstract

This article examines how narrative dominance is constructed and contested in Indonesian online media coverage of the 2025 Pertamina mega corruption scandal. The study applies Discourse Network Analysis (DNA) to map relational configurations between actors and claims. The dataset consists of 110 attributed statements extracted from ten high-traffic Indonesian online news outlets published between February and March 2025. The study converts quoted statements into actor–claim networks and analyzes them using centrality and modularity measures. The results reveal a polarized discourse structure with four major communities (modularity Q = 0.47). A technocratic bloc dominates the network, accounting for 38% of statements and securing a disproportionate share of eigenvector centrality, while accountability-oriented actors remain structurally peripheral. The top ten central actors, including the Ministry of Energy, Pertamina, KPK, CNNIndonesia, Tempo.co, and ICW, function as anchors, brokers, or amplifiers that shape discursive visibility and legitimacy. The findings demonstrate how technocratic framing functions as a hegemonic anchor that reframes corruption as a managerial issue rather than a systemic crime. Practically, the study highlights the need for media policy reforms that strengthen watchdog amplification, diversify authoritative sources, and prevent excessive reliance on technocratic legitimation in corruption reporting. DNA thus offers a powerful methodological framework for diagnosing discursive power imbalances in digital democracies. ***** Artikel ini mengkaji bagaimana dominasi narasi dibangun dan diperebutkan dalam pemberitaan media daring Indonesia mengenai skandal mega korupsi Pertamina tahun 2025. Penelitian ini menerapkan Discourse Network Analysis (DNA) untuk memetakan konfigurasi relasional antara aktor dan klaim wacana. Dataset penelitian terdiri atas 110 pernyataan teratribusi yang diekstraksi dari sepuluh media daring Indonesia dengan tingkat trafik tinggi yang diterbitkan antara Februari hingga Maret 2025. Pernyataan-pernyataan yang dikutip dikonversi menjadi jaringan aktor–klaim dan dianalisis menggunakan ukuran sentralitas dan modularitas. Hasil analisis menunjukkan struktur wacana yang terpolarisasi dengan empat komunitas utama (modularitas Q = 0,47). Blok teknokratis mendominasi jaringan dengan menyumbang 38% dari seluruh pernyataan serta menguasai proporsi sentralitas eigenvektor yang tidak seimbang, sementara aktor-aktor yang berorientasi pada akuntabilitas tetap berada di posisi perifer secara struktural. Sepuluh aktor paling sentral termasuk Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral Republik Indonesia, Pertamina, KPK, CNNIndonesia, Tempo.co, dan ICW,  berfungsi sebagai jangkar, perantara, atau penguat yang membentuk visibilitas dan legitimasi wacana. Temuan ini menunjukkan bagaimana pembingkaian teknokratis berfungsi sebagai jangkar hegemonik yang membingkai ulang korupsi sebagai persoalan manajerial alih-alih sebagai kejahatan sistemik. Secara praktis, penelitian ini menegaskan perlunya reformasi kebijakan media yang memperkuat peran pengawasan, memperluas keberagaman sumber otoritatif, serta mencegah ketergantungan berlebihan pada legitimasi teknokratis dalam pemberitaan korupsi. Dengan demikian, DNA menawarkan kerangka metodologis untuk mendiagnosis ketimpangan kekuasaan wacana dalam demokrasi digital.
