Abstract

This article discusses the dynamics of the Al-Hasanah Islamic Religious Learning Council (Majelis ta’lim Al-Hasanah) as a religious learning space that plays a vital role in fostering social change among mothers. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this research examines the activity patterns, social interactions, and the impact of the council on increasing religious knowledge, forming moral values, and strengthening community solidarity. The study results indicate that the Al-Hasanah Islamic Religious Learning Council (Majelis ta’lim Al-Hasanah) functions not only as a means of religious instruction but also as a forum for empowerment that influences the mothers' thinking, attitudes, and social behavior. The resulting social change is evident in the increased participation of women in religious activities, the formation of stronger social networks, and the emergence of a collective awareness to develop more religious and harmonious lifestyles. Thus, the Islamic Religious Learning Council (Majelis ta’lim) plays a strategic role not only in shaping religious identity and strengthening social cohesion at the community level, but also in illustrating women’s religious agency in contemporary Muslim societies, where informal religious spaces function as sites of empowerment, negotiation of gender roles, and reinterpretation of Islamic values in line with broader discussions on Islamic feminism and modern religious subjectivity.

Abstract

The rise of cancel culture on social media presents a critical challenge to Islamic digital literacy, particularly concerning the ethical principles of communication. This study investigates the erosion of the tabayyun (verification) principle amidst the normalization of public shaming, using the cancel culture phenomenon surrounding Indonesian public figure Gofar Hilman as a case study. Employing a digital netnography approach and thematic analysis, this research examines netizens' discourse, social media interactions, and digital public opinion mobilizations. The findings reveal that digital communities often bypass the verification process (tabayyun) and the ethical mandate of concealing others' faults (satr al-ʿayb), favoring instant moral judgment and collective delegitimization. While cancel culture operates as a modern mechanism for public accountability, it frequently mutates into digital vigilantism that contradicts Islamic communication ethics. This study contributes to the contemporary discourse on digital religion by providing a theoretical framework that bridges social media phenomena with Islamic ethical norms. Ultimately, the research emphasizes the urgent need to revitalize Islamic digital literacy to navigate the complexities of digital public spheres responsibly.

Abstract

The rapid digitalization of religion has transformed Islamic communication, enabling pop culture to function as an alternative spiritual vessel. This study examines the representation of da’wah values in “Gala Bunga Matahari” by Sal Priadi, a viral Indonesian song, to analyze how theological messages are encoded in secular pop music. Employing a qualitative approach with Ferdinand de Saussure’s structural semiotics, the research focuses on the dyadic relationship between signifier (lyrics) and signified (concept) to uncover latent spiritual meanings. Data were collected through close reading and purposive sampling of key verses, then analyzed using syntagmatic and paradigmatic dimensions. The findings reveal that the lyrics construct a coherent system of signs representing Islamic eschatology specifically the concept of Barzakh and the afterlife phrased not through explicit religious jargon but through metaphors of nature (sunflowers) and eternal longing. The song reframes death not as a frightening end, but as a continuity of love. The study concludes that this work transcends mere entertainment, serving as a new theological medium for Gen Z. It offers a non-dogmatic approach to understanding mortality and Rida (acceptance), proving that digital pop culture can effectively bridge the gap between rigid orthodoxy and the spiritual needs of contemporary Muslim youth.

Abstract

This study examines the role and strategies of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teachers as agents of Rahmatan lil ‘Alamin da’wah in a multicultural public senior high school in East Java, Indonesia. Amid rising identity polarization and social intolerance among adolescents, IRE teachers are increasingly required to move beyond conventional instruction toward communicative and inclusive pedagogical engagement. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with teachers and school principals, participatory classroom observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal three interconnected roles enacted by IRE teachers: moral exemplars modeling compassionate conduct, facilitators of interfaith and intercultural dialogue, and integrators of universal Islamic values within formal learning processes. Strategies include dialogical and participatory instruction, community-based social projects, and the incorporation of local cultural wisdom to contextualize religious teachings. While curriculum constraints and social media dynamics present structural challenges, the multicultural school environment functions as a dynamic social laboratory for cultivating everyday practices of tolerance. This study contributes to religious education and Islamic communication scholarship by proposing a humanistic da’wah-based educational model grounded in persuasive, dialogical, and inclusive pedagogy, offering a contextual framework for strengthening religious moderation in pluralistic educational settings.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the humanist preaching strategy applied by Hannan Attaki in conveying Islamic messages in the digital era and to what extent the effectiveness of the Islamic communication approach used by Hannan Attaki in grounding Islamic values ​​in the midst of the social life of the digital society. The research method used is Qualitative Content Analysis, Data Collection and Sources using Instametrica and documentation. The results of the study show that the humanist da'wah strategy implemented by Hannan Attaki through digital media has proven effective in conveying Islamic values ​​contextually, empathetically, and inclusively, especially to the young urban generation in the digital era. This approach prioritizes reflective and down-to-earth communication through the use of a relaxed language style, storytelling techniques, and visualizations that are interesting and relevant to the audience's daily life. Hannan's lectures not only build a cognitive understanding of Islam, but also touch the emotional and psychosocial side of the audience, thus encouraging spiritual transformation and behavioral change. By combining the principles of da'wah bil hikmah and a communicative psychosocial approach, Hannan Attaki's da'wah becomes a model of contemporary Islamic communication that not only conveys religious messages, but also creates a friendly, adaptive, and empowering religious space.

Abstract

This study discusses the process of public communication in da'wah conducted through the Instagram account @iqdammuhammad, focusing on the application of Aristotle's rhetorical strategies, which include ethos, pathos, and logos. The background of this research stems from the phenomenon of persuasive communication strategies in accordance with the characteristics of social media and audience preferences, particularly among young people. This study aims to analyze how these three rhetorical elements are implemented in Gus Iqdam's da'wah content and how their application affects the effectiveness of public communication in disseminating religious messages. The research method used a descriptive qualitative approach with content analysis techniques on several posts that represent the preaching communication strategy on the account. The results of the study show that ethos is reflected through scholarly credibility, a religious image, and consistency in delivering messages. Pathos is seen through a communicative delivery style, use of humor, and engaging visuals, creating an emotional connection with the audience. Logos appears through arguments based on religious texts and rational explanations relevant to daily life. The integration of these three rhetorical aspects contributes to increased audience engagement and the cognitive and affective reception of preaching messages. In conclusion, the study affirms that utilizing Aristotle's rhetorical strategies in digital preaching can enhance the effectiveness of public communication on Instagram.

Abstract

The rapid proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has fundamentally disrupted the landscape of Islamic communication, introducing chatbots as novel sources of religious information that challenge the traditional authority of Ulama. This study aims to analyze the shift in religious authority among Generation Z by examining the reliability of AI-generated fatwas versus traditional Islamic scholarship. Employing a qualitative virtual ethnography method, data were collected through digital observation of AI interactions and critical analysis of a sermon by Habib Abdurrahman Assegaf regarding AI errors in religious interpretation. The results demonstrate significant “algorithmic hallucination” in religious texts. Specifically, AI failed to interpret the theological context of Sahih Bukhari regarding “Al-Madinatu Tanfi Al-Khabats,” providing a literal, erroneous translation that strips away spiritual meaning. While Gen Z utilizes AI for privacy and speed, this finding proves that AI lacks scientific lineage (sanad) and spiritual taste (dzauq). The implications of this study highlight the urgency of digital literacy to prevent the trivialization of sacred texts. In conclusion, while AI functions as an efficient data aggregator, it cannot replace the authoritative role of Ulama, as authentic religious understanding requires human mentorship through talaqqi to ensure validity and contextual accuracy.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the forms and patterns of organizational da’wah implemented through internal communication in shaping the character of police personnel, as well as the process of internalizing da’wah values within structural and cultural contexts. The research adopts a qualitative approach grounded in the sociology of da’wah, utilizing Structural Da’wah Theory as the primary analytical framework. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with police personnel, observations of internal communication practices, and an analysis of institutional documents related to character development and organizational values. The findings reveal that organizational da’wah within the police institution operates through structural mechanisms embedded in the command system, regulatory frameworks, and organizational culture, positioning internal communication as a key medium for the internalization of values such as discipline, integrity, responsibility, and public service. The internalization process is facilitated through leadership exemplarity, habituation within institutional routines, and the reinforcement of norms through recurring organizational symbols and practices. Both structural dynamics, including policy consistency and leadership legitimacy, and cultural dynamics, such as individual resistance and diverse value backgrounds, influence the character formation process. This study emphasizes the strategic role of structural da’wah mediated by internal communication in fostering the character of police personnel, which is highly dependent on the alignment between formal organizational structures and internal organizational culture.

Abstract

This study aims to understand how the Akhlak Birrul Walidain values ​​are realized in the digital da'wah content of Ustadz Hilman Fauzi (UHF). Moral degradation and increasing conflict between the younger generation and the older generation in the digital era are exacerbated by the impact of social media. The main focus of this analysis is to examine the representation of Akhlak through three perspective Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA): Text, Discourse Practice, and Sociocultural Practice. The method used is qualitative descriptive analytical CDA, centered on video lectures delivered by UHF. The results show that UHF conveys the concept of birrul walidain with the main approach of 'Relatable Da'wah', a discursive strategy to maintain the relevance of Islamic morality in the public sphere. Textually, this discourse is characterized by pragmatic and non-dogmatic rhetoric, which connects moral obedience with worldly benefits, such as smooth sustenance and inner peace. This research helps redefine religious authority in the digital age by highlighting the shift from dogmatism to 'relatability', providing theoretical contributions to global Islamic communication studies in understanding the negotiation of traditional values ​​on modern platforms

Abstract

This study examines the representation of gender equality in digital media by analyzing Instagram content published by the alternative media account @konde.co. The research addresses the persistent issue of gender inequality in domestic and social relations, particularly how women are positioned and narrated within digital discourse. The objective of this study is to explore how women are represented as subjects, objects, and readers in gender-related content and how such representations shape public understanding of gender justice. Employing a qualitative research design, this study uses Critical Discourse Analysis based on Sara Mills' framework, focusing on subject–object positioning and reader positioning within selected Instagram posts. Data were collected through documentation of visual and textual content, observation, and supporting interviews with followers of the account. The findings reveal that women are predominantly represented as subjects experiencing structural injustice, emotional exploitation, and double workload within marriage, while patriarchal norms and male immaturity are positioned as objects of critique. Furthermore, the content strategically positions readers to empathize with women's experiences and critically reflect on unequal gender relations. This study demonstrates that Instagram functions as a counter-discursive space that promotes gender awareness and social justice, contributing to the development of gender-sensitive communication practices in the context of Islamic communication and digital da'wah.
