Abstract

The crime of Trafficking in Persons (TIP) in Indonesia is predominantly understood through the lenses of law enforcement and structural factors such as poverty and irregular migration, whereas mediation mechanisms at the family level during the pre-recruitment phase remain conceptually under-synthesized. This gap results in the fragmentation of prevention approaches, which have yet to fully address risk production at the household level. This study aims to reconstruct a tiered TIP prevention model by positioning family protective literacy as a risk mediator. Employing a qualitative approach based on a targeted literature review, this study conducts a thematic analysis of literature published between 2016 and 2025 concerning vulnerability, migration, social protection, and collaborative governance. The synthesis reveals that structural pressures do not deterministically lead to exploitation; rather, they are mediated by the family's capacity to comprehend safe migration procedures, scrutinize recruitment information, and mitigate financing risks. Legal, digital, and financial literacies function as mediation nodes connecting macro-level pressures with micro-level migration decisions, which are subsequently reinforced or undermined by community and village dynamics, alongside macro-level governance orchestration. Ultimately, this study proposes the Protective Literacy-Based Tiered Prevention Model as a conceptual contribution to bolster preventive approaches within the social welfare system.

Abstract

Women's participation in Islamic da'wah has expanded significantly, yet the institutional mechanisms through which religious authority and empowerment are socially constructed remain insufficiently explained. This study examined how women's religious empowerment was developed within the Jamaah Santri Putri (JAMMSANTRI) community at Pondok Pesantren Hudatul Muna Jenes, Indonesia, by analysing the social construction of religious agency and identity. A qualitative case study was conducted using in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, with Berger and Luckmann's theory of the social construction of reality serving as the analytical framework. The findings revealed that women's empowerment evolved through four interconnected processes: collective religious participation, institutional reinforcement, identity reconstruction, and social reproduction that generated wider community transformation. Rather than functioning as isolated stages, these processes formed a recursive institutional cycle in which organizational participation continuously reinforced religious identity, leadership, and community engagement. The study further refined Berger and Luckmann's framework by demonstrating that religious institutions actively mediated and reproduced women's religious agency through structured programmes, participatory leadership, and recurring organizational practices. It consequently proposed the Institutional Religious Empowerment Cycle (IREC) as a process-oriented model explaining how pesantren-based women's organizations simultaneously preserve religious traditions and generate sustainable social transformation.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze how Islamic knowledge circulates through immersive virtual spaces by examining da'wah practices in the Mario community that utilize the Roblox and Discord platforms. This research uses Arjun Appadurai's global cultural flow theory, specifically the concepts of technoscape and mediascape, to explain how digital technology infrastructure and media representation shape the circulation of Islamic knowledge in the digital religious space. The research uses a qualitative approach with digital ethnography methods through participatory observation over four months. Data were obtained through digital field observation, documentation, and interaction within the community, and then analyzed interpretatively based on ethnographic findings. This research argues that Roblox and Discord no longer merely function as media for da’wah communication, but have instead formed new religious social spaces that allow Islamic knowledge to be produced, circulated, and collectively experienced by their members. The research results show that the mediascape is represented through the formation of symbols, narratives, and virtual religious spaces that reconstruct religious practices in a digital environment, while the technoscape is reflected in the integration of various digital platforms that support the conduct of da’wah across space and time. Although it opens new opportunities for the expansion of digital da’wah, the virtual space also presents challenges such as issues of the legitimacy of religious authority, the authenticity of religious learning, and the potential for distraction due to the entertainment-oriented characteristics of the platform. This research expands the application of Appadurai's theory by demonstrating that online gaming platforms can serve as arenas for the circulation of Islamic knowledge within the global digital ecosystem.

Abstract

The development of technology and culture has transformed Islamic da'wah from conventional forms into creative and emotional expressions, notably through religious songs. The song “Qalbi Fii Madinah” by Maher Zain and Harris J represents contemporary Islamic music embedded with spiritual symbols and da'wah messages. This study aims to analyze the song as a medium of da'wah by interpreting the religious symbols in its lyrics and visuals, and assessing their compatibility with Islamic da'wah principles. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method using content analysis. The primary analytical framework is built upon Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic triadic model representamen, object, and interpretant, while Clifford Geertz’s cultural theory of symbols is utilized strictly as a subordinate contextual reference. Additionally, a normative analysis grounded in Islamic jurisprudential principles is applied to evaluate the permissibility and ethical boundaries of the song's artistic expression. The findings show that the song presents religious symbols representing love for the Prophet Muhammad, longing for Madinah, and an invitation to strengthen spiritual awareness. Normatively, the song aligns with the principles of da'wah bil hikmah and mau'izah hasanah, as its messages are conveyed through ethical, gentle, and spiritually meaningful expressions without contradicting sharia values. Therefore, “Qalbi Fii Madinah” serves as a valid contemporary form of Islamic da'wah that effectively communicates religious values through a structured symbolic and aesthetic musical framework.

Abstract

This study examines how da’wah communication is negotiated within the indigenous socio-cultural context of the Baduy Muslim community in Desa Kompol, Kanekes Village, Lebak Regency, Indonesia. Rather than conceptualizing da’wah as a process of unilateral religious transmission, the study approaches it as a culturally embedded communicative practice through which relational legitimacy, religious meaning, and communicative authority are continuously negotiated within indigenous symbolic systems. Employing an interpretive qualitative design, data were generated through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving eleven religious actors, including Muhammadiyah-affiliated da’i, NU-associated da’i, local religious leaders, and foundation-based volunteers engaged in da’wah activities among the Baduy Muslim community. The findings reveal three interconnected patterns. First, communication accommodation enables religious actors to negotiate relational access and legitimacy through sustained interpersonal engagement while remaining subject to indigenous customary authority. Second, indigenous symbols, rituals, and cultural meanings are selectively renegotiated within Islamic ethical frameworks through gradual symbolic accommodation rather than direct doctrinal confrontation. Third, religious legitimacy emerges through the interaction of relational engagement, institutional preparation, and ongoing negotiation with indigenous authority structures, making legitimacy conditional rather than permanently secured. The study contributes to intercultural communication and da’wah scholarship by demonstrating that religious communication in indigenous settings operates as a dynamic process of communicative accommodation, symbolic negotiation, and legitimacy construction rather than a linear transmission of religious doctrine.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the social adaptation of Ethnic Chinese students in multicultural public universities in Medan, Indonesia, and explain how the Third Space emerges through identity negotiation within campus environments influenced by Islamic social norms. This study employed a qualitative approach within a constructivist paradigm. The research was conducted at Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) and Universitas Negeri Medan (UNIMED), involving ten Ethnic Chinese undergraduate students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and supporting documentation and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings indicate that social adaptation did not occur through complete cultural assimilation but through ongoing identity negotiation, enabling participants to maintain their cultural values while developing harmonious relationships with students from different ethnic and religious backgrounds. Islamic social norms were perceived as shared social values that encouraged mutual respect and inclusive interaction rather than cultural domination. The study concludes that the Third Space emerged through everyday intercultural interactions, allowing Ethnic Chinese identity and Islamic social norms to coexist within an inclusive social environment. These findings extend Bhabha's Third Space framework in explaining minority students' social adaptation in multicultural higher education settings.

Abstract

The digital information ecosystem in Indonesia and Southeast Asia is increasingly defined by an erosion of epistemic trust, in which religious content, da'wah messaging, and civic discourse circulate through informal, algorithmically mediated networks whose responsibility frameworks remain under-theorized. Existing scholarship on digital journalism has documented the technical and institutional dimensions of this crisis, but has largely proceeded from secular-liberal assumptions that do not directly engage the moral-relational resources already present in Islamic communicative traditions. Using a conceptual, library-based synthesis of Indonesia's prophetic social science tradition, the author's own earlier scriptural analysis of Islamic journalism, and recent Scopus-indexed international scholarship, this article develops Prophetic Epistemic Governance (PEG), a conceptual framework which extends Kuntowijoyo's ilmu sosial profetik and Saragih's (2018) earlier scriptural analysis of Islamic journalism into the domain of digital da'wah governance. PEG integrates four prophetic heuristics, Shiddiq, Amanah, Tabligh, and Fathanah, with two sensitizing constructs, Covenant Density and Verification Latency, and situates them within a wider model of Madani Multilateralism as an alternative to state-centric and platform-centric governance. The article defines Yaumul Marhamah as the ethical horizon to which this system orients, discusses PEG's propositions in relation to recent Scopus-indexed scholarship on digital religious authority, and concludes with a concrete agenda for the empirical research needed to test PEG's propositions in Indonesian and Southeast Asian digital da'wah settings. As a conceptual contribution, this article does not report empirical findings; it offers a theoretical architecture intended to guide such research.

Abstract

Although the Prophet’s Birthday (Maulid Nabi) is not explicitly prescribed as a religious observance in Islamic scripture, its widespread practice across Southeast Asia demonstrates how religious traditions are continuously shaped by social, cultural, and political contexts. Existing studies have predominantly examined Maulid as a form of religious devotion, cultural heritage, or local religious expression, while comparative analyses of how Maulid functions as a site of power formation and contestation across different Muslim societies remain limited. This study addresses this gap by examining how Maulid traditions operate within distinct configurations of authority, identity, and social practice in Brunei Darussalam, Pattani (Thailand), and Indonesia. Drawing on Foucault’s discourse theory of power and Bourdieu’s theory of practice, the study employs a comparative qualitative approach based on the analysis of relevant literature, historical accounts, and documented Maulid practices. The findings demonstrate that Maulid is not merely a ritual commemorating the Prophet’s birth but a socially embedded practice through which religious authority, political legitimacy, and collective identity are produced and contested. In Brunei Darussalam, state-sponsored Maulid celebrations contribute to the symbolic reinforcement of the Sultan’s sovereign authority. In Pattani, Maulid functions within particular social contexts as a marker of Malay-Muslim identity and, for some groups, as a symbolic expression of resistance to dominant political structures. In Indonesia, the celebration has become an arena of contestation between traditionalist and puritan-oriented interpretations of Islamic practice. By comparing these three contexts, this study advances existing scholarship by demonstrating that Maulid constitutes a dynamic arena in which religious practice intersects with power relations, cultural identity, and political authority. The study therefore contributes a comparative perspective to the sociology of Islamic ritual and da’wah studies by conceptualizing Maulid as a form of cultural da’wah whose social and political meanings are contingent upon the structures within which it is practiced.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital media has transformed the configuration of religious authority in Indonesia by enabling digital preachers to gain legitimacy beyond traditional religious institutions. This study examines how Hanan Attaki and Felix Siauw construct religious legitimacy through YouTube-based digital communication and how cultural, social, digital, and symbolic capital interact in shaping algorithmic religious authority. Using a qualitative document analysis, the study analyzes thirteen YouTube videos published between 2022 and 2025, including sermons, podcasts, interviews, and public discussions, through Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of field, capital, and symbolic power, complemented by the concept of digital capital. The findings reveal two distinct communication models. Hanan Attaki constructs religious authority through emotionally resonant narratives emphasizing spiritual healing, tawakkul, and self-improvement, whereas Felix Siauw develops legitimacy through intellectual discussion, historical interpretation, and ideological engagement with contemporary social and political issues. The study further finds that audience interaction, cross-platform circulation, and algorithmic visibility facilitate the conversion of cultural and digital capital into symbolic religious authority. These findings suggest that digital media have not replaced traditional religious authority but have reconfigured the contemporary religious field by creating multiple pathways through which religious legitimacy is negotiated and recognized.

Abstract

Podcasts have emerged as a flexible audio-visual medium that surpasses conventional radio through their play-on-demand feature, allowing audiences—particularly the Millennial and Gen Z cohorts—to consume content according to their own preferences and pace. Among adolescent communities such as those in Paya Geli Village, this flexibility is especially significant, as teenagers are known for their short attention spans and constant pursuit of novel forms of entertainment and information. Despite the proliferation of studies on social media's influence on adolescent behavior, limited scholarly attention has been paid to how personal narrative-based YouTube podcasts—such as the Gritte Agatha Podcast, which addresses themes of resilience, family relationships, and everyday social struggles—function as a medium for cultivating adolescent self-awareness. This gap is particularly notable given the podcast's popularity and its potential pedagogical value in shaping character and social consciousness among youth, an area that remains underexplored in Indonesian communication studies. This study addresses that gap by examining the role of the Gritte Agatha YouTube podcast in enhancing adolescent awareness in Paya Geli Village, investigating both the extent to which the podcast contributes to increasing adolescent awareness and the level of adolescent interest in and engagement with its content. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, this research aims to provide an in-depth account of these phenomena, identifying patterns and developments that allow for meaningful comparison and evaluation. The findings reveal that the Gritte Agatha podcast exerts a substantial influence on adolescent audiences, offering insights and vicarious experiences that viewers actively internalize and apply in their daily lives. These results underscore the novelty of positioning digital podcasting as an informal yet impactful medium of adolescent moral and social education—an area meriting further empirical attention in dakwah and communication research.
