Abstract

This scientific paper analyzes the episode "Why God Didn't Create One Religion" from the YouTube channel Dr. Zakir Naik as a case study of interfaith communication on the YouTube digital platform. This research aims to understand how Islamic views on religious diversity are presented and their impact on the perceptions of interfaith audiences. This episode explains the concept that religious diversity is part of Divine will which gives humans the freedom to choose their spiritual path. The problem raised in this research is how an interfaith dialogue approach can strengthen tolerance, but also faces challenges, especially regarding perceptions of religious superiority. This research uses a descriptive qualitative analysis method, with data collected from episode observations and audience responses through comments on the YouTube digital platform. The research results show that this episode makes a positive contribution to Muslim audiences' understanding of religious pluralism, especially in terms of acceptance of religious diversity as God's will. However, this episode also gave rise to different perceptions in non-Muslim audiences, where some felt that the presentation positioned Islam as a superior religion, thus potentially causing defensive reactions. Therefore, to increase the effectiveness of interfaith communication, this research recommends using more inclusive language, including the perspectives of figures from other religions, and emphasizing universal values ​​such as justice, compassion and peace. The conclusion of this research is that with a more dialogical approach and respect for diversity, similar episodes can be an effective medium for strengthening tolerance and creating more harmonious interfaith understanding.

Abstract

Intercultural communication is a process of interaction involving individuals from different cultural backgrounds. In Indonesia, especially in Cirebon Regency, Islamic boarding schools have an important role in educating the younger generation, and are often a meeting place for various cultures from all over the country. This study aims to explore the dynamics of intercultural communication that occurs at the Nurul Qur'an Islamic Boarding School, located in Cirebon Regency. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies. The results of this study indicate that the Nurul Qur'an Islamic Boarding School is a space rich in cultural diversity, with students coming from various regions and different social backgrounds. Despite challenges in terms of language, social norms, and customs, this Islamic boarding school has succeeded in creating an inclusive atmosphere that supports intercultural interaction. Factors that influence intercultural communication in this Islamic boarding school include the role of caregivers in building tolerance values, multicultural education implemented in the curriculum, and active participation of students in joint social activities. The positive impact of this intercultural communication is reflected in the increased appreciation of differences, tolerance, and interpersonal skills among students.
