This study examines the phenomenon of digital da'wah in Indonesia using the theoretical framework of Fisher and Rinehart's Living Religions. The research applies a qualitative method through online observations and literature reviews. The findings reveal that digital da'wah has successfully created new spaces for the dissemination of Islam by adopting a more inclusive approach and adapting to technological advancements. Contrary to previous assumptions that Islam would lag behind modernity, this study demonstrates that Islamic preaching in the digital world enriches perspectives on religious teachings and enables Islamic messages to reach diverse audiences, particularly younger generations. However, this study also highlights the challenges that arise due to the lack of caution in delivering da'wah content, which can lead to controversy in the digital sphere. This research contributes to the development of a digital da'wah concept that responds to contemporary changes and emphasizes the importance of ethics in spreading religious messages online. Furthermore, it provides new insights into how Islamic da'wah can persist and evolve in the digital era without losing its core teachings

This study aims to explore the dual role of religion in contemporary society—as both a source of tolerance and a driver of intolerance—by critically analyzing the socio-political, cultural, and global contexts that shape religious discourse. The research responds to the urgency of understanding religion beyond theological essentialism, emphasizing the need for a sociological approach to interpret the contradictory manifestations of religion in plural societies. Employing a qualitative design through critical literature review, the study analyzes academic texts and discourse on religion using thematic content analysis. The data sources include influential works by Diana Eck, John Hick, Mark Juergensmeyer, Karen Armstrong, Jeremy Menchik, Robert Hefner, and others. The findings reveal three significant patterns: religion as a moral force fostering interfaith dialogue; religion as an ideological tool legitimizing social exclusion; and the ambivalent image of religion shaped by state politics, popular media, and transnational religious networks. The study demonstrates that religion is never neutral—it is continuously constructed and contested within power relations, identity politics, and symbolic representation. These insights underscore the functional and dysfunctional roles of religion in shaping social cohesion and polarization. The implications of this research highlight the urgency of promoting critical religious literacy, interfaith education, and inclusive public policies that prevent the instrumentalization of religion for sectarian or authoritarian interests. The originality of this study lies in its multidimensional mapping of the social construction of religion, shifting the analytical lens from sacred texts to contextual forces. By integrating classic sociological theories with the Indonesian context, this research offers a comprehensive and contextually grounded contribution to the sociology of religion.

The development of information technology in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 and Society 5.0 has transformed the landscape of Islamic da'wah in Indonesia. Da'wah is no longer confined to physical spaces such as mosques and religious study groups but has expanded into digital platforms through social media, podcasts, and other online channels. This article aims to analyze the transformation of da'wah in the context of social change due to digitalization and its implications for contemporary da'wah strategies in Indonesia. The study adopts a qualitative approach using literature review and descriptive-critical analysis of da'wah sociology theories such as Symbolic Interactionism, Diffusion of Innovations, Social Mediation, and Bourdieu's theory of Habitus and Social Capital. The findings show that digital da'wah in Indonesia faces challenges such as the spread of religious misinformation, digital extremism, and low levels of digital literacy among the public. On the other hand, technological advancements offer wider, more inclusive, and data-driven opportunities for da'wah. Within the framework of Society 5.0, da'wah must be oriented toward humanistic and contextual social solutions. Therefore, a sociological approach to da'wah is crucial to ensure that Islamic messages remain relevant and capable of addressing the challenges of the times. In conclusion, da'wah in the digital era must strategically and adaptively integrate technology, culture, and social understanding. Contribution: This article advances academic and practical understanding of how digital technologies are reshaping religious communication, positioning sociological analysis as crucial to developing effective and future-ready da'wah strategies in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the potentials and challenges of globalizing Indonesia’s policy of religious moderation within the ASEAN and broader international context. Amid growing polarization rooted in religion, extremism, and identity-based conflicts, the Indonesian government—through the Ministry of Religious Affairs—has developed the religious moderation policy as both a normative and strategic framework to preserve harmony within plural societies. Using a qualitative approach based on case studies and document analysis, this research draws on primary data from official reports by the Ministry of Religious Affairs and secondary data from relevant international sources. The findings indicate that Indonesia’s model of religious moderation has begun to gain attention in regional and global forums, particularly through its integration into educational initiatives, interfaith dialogue platforms, and diplomatic arenas such as ICROM and KMBAAA. Nevertheless, several dysfunctions persist: resistance from ideological groups, elitist and symbolic implementation, inconsistency with ongoing domestic discrimination, and the ceremonial nature of international actor involvement. These findings underscore the urgent need for more inclusive, community-based, and consistent strategies if religious moderation is to evolve into a global value system. This study offers an original contribution by positioning Indonesia’s religious moderation not merely as a domestic policy, but as a transnational normative model relevant for diplomacy and religious studies.

This study critically interrogates the ideological construction underlying the distinction between “Islam” as a private spirituality and “Islamism” as a political threat within contemporary European discourse. By analyzing Chapter 7 of The Routledge Handbook of Critical European Studies, authored by Andrea Teti and Andrea Mura, the article explores how these categories are shaped by colonial legacies, power relations, and the normative framework of European secularism. Employing a qualitative method grounded in critical discourse analysis and Foucauldian genealogy, this research demonstrates that the Islam/Islamism binary functions as a hegemonic tool that disciplines Muslim political expression while reaffirming the epistemic supremacy of liberal modernity. Findings reveal that the depiction of Islamism as “radical” and inherently antagonistic is not an objective reflection of Muslim political realities, but rather a product of discursive practices that marginalize Muslim agency and render their political subjectivities illegible within the liberal-secular order. Furthermore, the study highlights the urgency of adopting emancipatory and decolonial perspectives that foreground the voices and experiences of Muslim communities themselves. Such approaches challenge Western monopolies on meaning and open epistemic spaces for alternative narratives. The study concludes that dominant Western discourses on Islam must be deconstructed through the development of critical, context-sensitive epistemologies that restore agency to Muslim political subjects. This research contributes to postcolonial studies, critical secularism theory, and contemporary Islamic political thought by offering a robust analytical framework to rethink the intersection of religion, politics, and power in a postcolonial age.
