Abstract

The development of digital technology has significantly transformed various aspects of life, including the religious practices of Muslims. In this digital era, religious practices such as worship, religious learning, and the dissemination of Islamic values have undergone changes influenced by the ease of access to information and digital media platforms. This study aims to analyze the impact of digital transformation on the religious practices of Muslims, focusing on the opportunities and challenges faced in contemporary da'wah. Identified opportunities include the expanded reach of da'wah, efficiency in delivering messages, and global connectivity among Muslims. However, challenges such as the misuse of technology, biased information, and the lack of digital literacy in society also require attention. Through a qualitative approach, this study explores strategies that da'i (preachers) can adopt to maximize digital media as an effective and contextually relevant tool for da'wah in today's socio-cultural landscape.

Abstract

This study investigates the capitalist transformation of digital Islamic da’wah in Indonesia through the lens of social media algorithms and their role in shaping user trust. Employing a qualitative literature review approach, the research analyzes how algorithmic mechanisms prioritize content circulation based on engagement metrics, thereby influencing the production and reception of religious messages. The findings reveal that digital platforms driven by capitalist imperatives commodify Islamic da’wah, altering its communicative style and potentially compromising its spiritual authenticity. This commodification fosters a competitive digital environment where trust is algorithmically constructed and leveraged for monetization. The study underscores the critical need for digital literacy among Islamic preachers and their audiences to navigate these dynamics responsibly. Limitations include reliance on secondary sources without primary empirical data, highlighting the importance of future multifaceted research to develop ethical and effective digital da’wah strategies in a rapidly evolving media landscape. The research implications advocate for balancing technological adaptation with the preservation of genuine Islamic values against the pressures of digital capitalism.
