Abstract

Abstract: The rapid development of digital technology has transformed communication and information access, including Islamic propagation (da'wah). This study explores Universitas Islam Bandung (Unisba) students' preferences for digital da'wah content, particularly podcasts, using Berger and Luckmann's Social Construction of Reality theory and the bilisani qaumihi principle. Through qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews and observations targeting students aged 18-24, findings reveal preferences short, engaging, and visually appealing content for entertainment and long-form, educational content for deeper understanding. Platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts cater to short-form needs, while YouTube podcasts provide extensive and systematic discussions. Students favor relatable themes such as self-development, mental health, and daily Islamic practices, delivered in a relaxed, humorous, and relatable tone. The study concludes that digital da'wah must integrate entertainment with education to adapt to Generation Z's preferences, ensuring message relevance and effective Islamic value internalization in daily life.Key Words: Digital Da'wah, Student Preferences, Podcast, Social Media, Social ConstructionAbstrak: Perkembangan teknologi digital mengubah cara komunikasi dan akses informasi, termasuk dakwah Islam.

Abstract

This research investigates the transformation of religious behavior in the community of Tarogong Kidul, Garut Regency, within the rapidly evolving landscape of social media. Framed through a sociological-anthropological lens and guided by Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of habitus, the study applies a qualitative descriptive method using a case study approach. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis, with triangulation employed to ensure validity. The analysis reveals a significant shift in religious expression—from deeply internalized spiritual practices to symbolic and commodified forms—driven by factors such as technological advancement, urbanization, and socioeconomic change. Social media platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, and YouTube have emerged as influential arenas for da’wah and religious engagement, yet they also contribute to the fragmentation of traditional religious authority and the marketization of faith. Although public participation in routine religious activities appears to decline, adaptive religious centers like the Grand Mosque of Garut demonstrate increased relevance and engagement. At the same time, the cultural fabric of Sundanese Islam faces challenges from unfiltered global content, often rendering communities passive consumers. However, improvements in education and income empower individuals to reinterpret religious values within modern, urban realities. This study concludes that what occurs in Tarogong Kidul is not a break from tradition, but a dynamic negotiation between inherited religious habitus and new social structures of the digital age. The research offers theoretical insight into the interplay between tradition and modernity, methodological contributions through a robust qualitative design, and practical value for designing inclusive, media-sensitive religious outreach strategies in contemporary urban societies.
