Abstract

The development of digital technology has opened up new opportunities in the spread of Islamic preaching, including through the YouTube platform. Wirda Mansur, a young preacher who is active on YouTube social media, has used the platform to spread preaching messages through the content he uploads on his YouTube Channel. This study aims to analyze Islamic religious education preaching messages in the sholawat material on Wirda Mansur's YouTube channel. This study uses a qualitative approach and qualitative descriptive method. The type of research is content analysis. Data collection was obtained from documentation and non-participant observation. To obtain data from this study, the Wirda Mansur YouTube Channel account was used. Data analysis was carried out by selecting and compiling the data obtained and then analyzing it so that conclusions can be drawn. The results of this study indicate that several video themes presented by Wirda Mansur include: Sholawatin Aja! #NgajiBarengWirda, Want Something Using Sholawat? #NgobrolBarengWirda, Young Santri & Kayyah Rayyah?! #SantriInspiratif, and the contents of the Islamic educational preaching message contained in the material about sholawat in the video include: Aqidah messages sourced from the Qur'an and hadith. And encourage the growth of faith and an attitude of surrender to Allah, In addition, there are also Shari'a messages in the form of an invitation to carry out worship obligations and increase the reading of sholawat, in addition, moral messages are also conveyed, which emphasize the importance of ethics in relationships with Allah and fellow human beings, such as being devoted to parents, doing good to others, and loving and respecting Allah SWT and Rasulullah SAW through the practice of sholawat. The advantages of the preaching method used by Wirda Mansur lie in its contemporary approach and relevance to the lives of young people, especially through a modern appearance and the selection of themes that are close to the reality of the millennial generation. The disadvantages of Wirda Mansur's preaching method are that not all young people have the same access or ability to use social media, especially those who are less familiar or from less fortunate economic backgrounds. In addition, the use of mixed languages, including English, is sometimes not understood by all mad'u.
