Abstract

This paper investigates the new visibility of Salafist da’wah on the new media. The media such as cassette, bulletin, television and the digital made religious material and the agents be more visible in the secularized world. The basic inquiries is how the Salafi agent reforms their visibility in the post Suharto era and how it deals with their Islamism agenda in the media. Alongside that visibility has also revised the secular thesis on the privatization of religion it also marks the resurgence of religion globally. Through analysing the Islamic post in the social media content in Instagram and using a qualitative research (content analysis), this paper sees about the new visibility and rise of fundamentalism and the Salafi preaching in the digital space. This paper also finds that fundamentalism is a radical response to secularism, and modernization which originated from the colonial period. However, currently the fundamentalism is not in antagonistic relation with democratization, they embrace it as a medium to spread their idea widely and to shape their political identity. Indeed, in the “digital space” where any people could voice their ideas and accept limitless information, Salafi’s preachers also modify their preaching to be more casual look, friendly, attractive and inspirational yet the idea is still conservative. Such modification was taken to grabs more audience and to be more visible in the digital space. This research implies that Salafi da’wah was reforming its visibility, especially in the post Suharto era where Islam, politic and technology were intermingled relation.

Abstract

The role of kiai kampung as local religious authorities in Indonesia has evolved dynamically in response to shifting socio-political landscapes and changing patterns of Islamic religious authority. This paper examines the role of kiai kampung as socio-religious agents in managing mosques and preserving traditional Islamic orthodoxy in Indonesia's Reform era. Kiai kampung effectively translates Islamic principles to grassroots levels as they influence social, religious, and political discussions through regular preaching and sermons (khutbah). The study uses field research to observe da'wah practices and institutional affiliations in Rembang, Central Java. Using the concepts of agency and cultural broker, this study finds that kiai kampung does not merely reproduce inherited traditions but actively reinterprets them in response to contemporary socio-political challenges. This study contributes to the idea that, besides kiai kampung promoting a distinct model of traditional orthodoxy, their affiliation with religious institutions enables them to shape local religious and political discourse while supporting government agendas aligned with Islamic values. This support is often expressed through sermons referencing classical religious texts, including tafsir, hadith, and tasawuf (Sufism). As grassroots leaders, kiai kampung also contributes to the institutional growth of santri communities in Indonesia's Reform era.
