The method used is qualitative, with the research location in North Nias Regency, from September 2023 to August 2024. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. Research informants comprised the Head of the North Nias Ministry of Religion, the District KUA, the North Nias Pokjapaluh, and representatives from the Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama community organisations. Data analysis was carried out through a coding process and integration of data units at the stage of writing the results. The results of the study show: (1) The competence of Islamic religious extension workers includes mastery of religious knowledge, communication skills, technology, and social and psychological skills. They can also design extension programs that suit the community's needs. (2) The communication messages must be relevant, inspiring, touch people's lives, and contain applicable religious motivation. (3) The effects of communication extension include increased understanding of religion, changes in religious attitudes, and social and economic empowerment. Religious instructors have a strategic role in forming a religious, tolerant, and caring society. They can positively influence people's behaviour and quality of life through communication based on moderate Islamic values.

Abstract

Communication within the family constitutes a fundamental pillar in fostering domestic harmony, particularly within Muslim households that are grounded in Islamic values. This article aims to analyze how the principles of Islamic communication are actualized in family life, focusing on two central themes: the ideal model of a family and the practice of polygamy. Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach based on Islamic literature and family sociology, this study explores key principles of Islamic communication, such as qawlan sadīdan (truthful speech), qawlan ma‘rūfan (kind speech), and qawlan layyinan (gentle speech), within the relational dynamics of spouses and family members. In examining the case of polygamy, the article addresses the tension between normative religious teachings and practical realities, highlighting the communicative challenges that often arise in such familial contexts. The findings suggest that the effective actualization of Islamic communication is significantly influenced by the level of religious understanding, local cultural norms, and gender sensitivity. In conclusion, Islamic communication within the family is not merely rhetorical; it is an ethical praxis capable of shaping the family into a harmonious, just, and spiritually enriched social institution.
