Sholawat music, which combines Islamic values with touching melodies, has great potential as an effective da'wah tool. This study used a mixed method, namely a qualitative and quantitative approach. Qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews with students and teachers at the Istiqlal Delitua Foundation, while quantitative data were collected through a survey that measured students' understanding, emotional responses, and behavioral changes towards sholawat music.

As many as 85% of respondents said they enjoyed listening to sholawat music, 78% felt that sholawat music helped them understand Islamic teachings better, and 72% experienced positive changes in their daily behavior after regularly listening to sholawat music. In addition, 69% of respondents felt more motivated to participate in social and religious activities after listening to sholawat music. The study results showed that sholawat music's effectiveness as a medium of da'wah reached an effectiveness level of 93%, indicating a very effective category.
