Abstract

This study investigates the transformative role of Generation Z in Indonesia’s digital Islamic da’wah landscape, focusing on their active participation as both content consumers and creators. As digital natives, Gen Z increasingly utilizes platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and Canva to design and disseminate religious messages, redefining traditional clerical models of Islamic preaching. Employing qualitative methods, including digital ethnography, semi-structured interviews, and content analysis, this research analyzes how youth reinterpret Islamic teachings in visually engaging and culturally resonant formats. The study examined their platform preferences, creative strategies, and challenges faced in balancing aesthetic appeal with theological depth. Findings indicate that Gen Z’s use of visual storytelling significantly enhances outreach and engagement, but also introduces tensions regarding misinformation, content saturation, and perceived religious authority. Student creators prioritize relatability and visual design, which often necessitate navigating trade-offs between popularity and substance. Institutional responses have begun to include media literacy initiatives and collaborations with digital influencers, aiming to ensure doctrinal accuracy while expanding reach. This research concludes that Gen Z’s integration of technology and religion signals a new era of decentralized, participatory da’wah. Their role extends beyond adaptation they are actively reshaping the meaning, delivery, and reception of Islamic messages. The study contributes to interdisciplinary dialogues in religious communication, youth culture, and digital media studies by emphasizing the pedagogical and institutional implications of youth-led digital da’wah.

Abstract

Access to the Qur’an in Braille formats for Muslims with blindness in Nigeria is limited due to the scarcity, high production cost, lack of basal reader, and uneven distribution of Braille copies. These constraints restrict opportunities for independent reading practice and affect the development of accurate tajweed application and sustained Qur’anic literacy among Muslims with blindness in Nigeria. This study developed Arabic Braille codes to enhance Qur’anic reading fluency among Muslims with blindness in Nigeria using a Design-Based Research (DBR) approach, which involves iterative development, expert validation, and field testing. The standard Arabic Braille alphabet was retained, while additional codes were developed for key recitation features, including elongation markers (al-madd), nasalization signs, and pause/stop signs. The codes were evaluated using a 24-item usability and accuracy instrument administered to 32 participants with blindness drawn from three specialized educational centers in Nigeria during a six-week guided reading intervention. Internal consistency reliability of the instrument yielded Cronbach’s α = 0.82. Inter-rater agreement on the accuracy of participants’ transcriptions of selected symbols, assessed independently by five experts in Qur’anic studies and special education, produced κ = 0.85. Qualitative feedback from participants and instructors indicated improved readability, learnability, and cultural acceptability of the codes. The findings suggest that the developed Braille code are viable for supporting Qur’anic literacy among Muslims with blindness. The study therefore recommends national adoption of the developed codes, large-scale production of Braille Qur’an using these standards, and the organization of Qur’anic Braille training workshops.
