<![CDATA[Islamic preaching (dakwah) in Indonesia has undergone significant transformation with the emergence of new preaching models that extend beyond traditional mosque settings into public spaces such as cafés and digital platforms. This study aims to examine contemporary dakwah phenomena through the application of broadcasting technologies—including digital television, live streaming, podcasts, and social media—and to analyze the dynamics of contestation and cultural modification that arise in these practices. Using a qualitative descriptive approach with literature review, phenomenological observation, and in-depth interviews with digital preaching practitioners and audiences, this research reveals that broadcasting technology enables wider, faster, and more interactive dissemination of Islamic messages, reaching diverse audience segments.

The study concludes that the implementation of broadcasting technology in contemporary dakwah not only transforms the medium of message delivery but also reconstructs preaching strategies and authority, opening opportunities to strengthen religious moderation in the digital era.]]>
