<![CDATA[This study aims to describe and analyze the role of Manarul Islam Mosque in Bangil in disseminating Islamic religious understanding in the digital era. The mosque functions not only as a place of worship but also as a center for religious education and community communication that can reach a wider audience through digital media. Rapid digital transformation requires religious institutions to adapt to technological developments so that Islamic preaching (dakwah) can be delivered effectively and contextually. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The main informants included mosque administrators, mosque youth members, and active congregants. The data were analyzed through three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, with source triangulation employed to enhance data validity. The findings indicate that Manarul Islam Mosque actively disseminates Islamic understanding through various digital platforms, including Instagram, YouTube, and WhatsApp. Innovative programs such as the Manarul Islam Podcast, Kajian Remaja Suffah, Tahfidz Camp, and Zona Healing have emerged as new avenues for increasing public interest in Islamic activities. The mosque also provides a participatory space for young people who contribute to the management and production of digital religious content. However, several challenges remain, including limited human resources, competition with non-religious digital content, and inadequate technological infrastructure. Overall, Manarul Islam Mosque has demonstrated its capacity to adapt to changing social conditions and functions as a progressive model of a digital mosque. Its experience demonstrates that Islamic preaching can be presented creatively and engagingly while preserving spiritual values and the authenticity of Islamic teachings.]]>
