<![CDATA[This article aims to examine the use of the ma'na-yi harfi (Indicative Meaning) and ma'na-yi ismi (Nominal Meaning) concept of Badiuzzaman Said Nursi in preventing hoaxes caused by new media abuse. The approach offered by Nursi is important because it can be considered as the basis of Islamic media communication in which moral values in media are prioritized over only material aspects. New media characterized by openness and freedom, in a certain condition, enable the hoax to spread. Hoax often occurs because the media does not prioritize morality values but leads to materially self and group fulfillment. Using the qualitative method with library data in the form of Said Nursi's Risale-i Nûr, we explore Nursi's views related to ma'na-yi ismi and ma'na-yi harfi in the media field. We then use his view as a basis for analyzing media hoaxes. The result is that the ma’na-yi ismi perspective tends to be a worldly material orientation in which communication phenomena, such as events, news, and information themselves, are understood based on the visible social contexts where media practitioners are working and oriented to fulfill self-desires. Meanwhile, in the ma'na-yi harfi perspective, the communication phenomenon is interpreted, constructed, and displayed with self-consideration (individual or collective self), but it is built in the full awareness that phenomena belong to the absolute Ruler (God), and humans as the giver of meaning to those phenomena must translate the greatness of God in them. The phenomenon of communication is considered a part of the greatness of God in the universe so the hoaxes and negative messages can be avoided. The ma’na-yi harfi perspective can be considered as a solution to solve the social problems of hoaxes.]]>
