Abstract

The phenomenon of Indonesian migrant workers’ children (APM) in Malaysia affects not only their education and well-being but also the formation of cultural identity and national character. This study aims to analyze the role of social da’wah as an instrument of Indonesia’s soft diplomacy in Malaysia, focusing on moral–spiritual development, cultural preservation, and the strengthening of national identity among APM. A qualitative case study approach was employed to explore social da’wah activities within Indonesian diaspora communities, involving in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis of programs conducted by religious instructors, da’wah institutions, and community groups. The findings indicate that social da’wah effectively shapes positive character, preserves Indonesian cultural values, and fosters a positive image of Indonesia in Malaysian society. Integrated social da’wah strategies aligned with soft diplomacy efforts have proven to strengthen bilateral relations between Indonesia and Malaysia while also enhancing Indonesia’s position through cultural diplomacy. The study recommends strengthening collaboration between the government, Indonesian embassies/consulates (KBRI/KJRI), da’wah institutions, and community organizations to expand program outreach, improve the quality of da’wah content, and maximize the use of digital media as an effective tool for cultural diplomacy.

Abstract

This study examines Thomas Carlyle’s defense of Prophet Muhammad SAW as articulated in his lecture On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History (1840). At a time when Western society was dominated by negative stereotypes and prejudice against Islam, Carlyle presented a counter-narrative by portraying Prophet Muhammad SAW as a sincere, moral, and heroic figure. Using a qualitative approach with Critical Discourse Analysis based on Norman Fairclough’s model, this research analyzes the text at three levels: textual representation, discursive practice, and social practice. The findings reveal that Carlyle’s discourse challenges dominant Western narratives by reconstructing the image of Prophet Muhammad SAW through ethical leadership, spiritual authenticity, and historical legitimacy. From the perspective of da’wah communication, Carlyle’s discourse functions as a form of intellectual mediation that promotes intercultural understanding and counters Islamophobic narratives. This study contributes to the field of Islamic communication by highlighting the role of intellectual discourse as an alternative medium of da’wah in shaping public perception and fostering cross-cultural dialogue.

Abstract  This study analyzes the narratives and responses of netizens to the controversial social program "Free Lunch Program," discussed in the Bocor Alus Politik podcast on Tempo.co's YouTube channel. This phenomenon relates to public reactions that emerge on social media platforms in response to government policies. The objective of this research is to analyze netizen reactions to the controversial social program, "Free Lunch Program," discussed in the Bocor Alus Politik podcast on Tempo.co's YouTube channel. The phenomenon under study pertains to the public opinion that develops on social media as a response to government policies, with a focus on sentiment analysis, toxicity, and the topics discussed by netizens. The data for this study were collected from 51,000 comments on a video that has been viewed over 1 million times, which were analyzed using sentiment and toxicity analysis algorithms, as well as semantic clustering methods to assess discussion patterns. The results show that the majority of comments are neutral, with a dominant negative sentiment related to dissatisfaction with government policies. Toxicity analysis reveals relatively low but significant toxic interactions in some comments related to criticisms of the policy. Semantic topic clustering shows that netizens focused on issues such as government budgets, social inequality, and the potential abuse of the program. These findings provide new insights into how social programs are interpreted in digital discourse, reflecting dissatisfaction with government policies. The significance of these findings enriches political communication theory by adding an understanding of the dynamics of netizen interactions on social media regarding public policies. This study makes a significant contribution to understanding the emerging patterns of political communication in cyberspace and their impact on public opinion.
