Abstract

The evolution of digital technology, particularly the TikTok platform, has transformed the landscape of intercultural communication into a global discursive space for the expression and negotiation of complex identities. This study critically analyzes TikTok's role in shaping intercultural tolerance by questioning the effectiveness of algorithms amidst the risks of information bias and stereotypes. The research method employed is a qualitative literature study with thematic analysis techniques applied to 12 selected scientific articles indexed in SINTA and Scopus (2020–2025). The results indicate that TikTok functions as a performative arena where users construct digital personas through stylization and code-mixing strategies to enhance intercultural sensitivity. However, this study asserts a contradiction in algorithmic mechanisms that potentially reinforce fragmented cultivation patterns and the dominance of specific cultures (digital imperialism). These findings identify that the platform's effectiveness in fostering substantive tolerance heavily relies on the synergy between users' critical media literacy and the development of inclusive content to minimize communication conflicts.

Abstract

In the digital era, mosques serve not only as places of worship but also as centers for da'wah communication and social development. Advances in information technology have transformed patterns of community interaction, including the dissemination of religious values and social activities. Today, mosques face both challenges and opportunities in utilizing digital media to strengthen their strategic role within an increasingly connected society. The aim of this study is to analyze the role of mosques as centers of da'wah communication and social development in the digital era, as well as to identify optimal strategies for enhancing mosque functions in response to social and technological changes. The research employs a qualitative approach, using case studies of several mosques in major cities that actively utilize digital media. Research samples were selected purposively, and data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and analysis of digital documents related to mosque activities. The results show that mosques that adapt to digital technology are able to increase the reach of da'wah and the effectiveness of social programs. The use of social media and digital applications strengthens communication between mosque administrators and congregants, as well as encourages active community participation in religious and social activities. Mosques play a vital role in fostering da'wah and social communication in the digital era, with technology utilization serving as a key strategy to expand influence and strengthen community solidarity.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the dynamics of Islamic preaching ethics on social media by highlighting the tension between educational and popularity orientation. The preaching transformation to the digital space presents opportunities for wider dissemination, but at the same time poses risks of substance reduction, commodification of religion, and a shift in religious authority. The research focuses on how preachers and audiences negotiate the value of preaching in a competitive algorithmic ecosystem. A qualitative approach was used with three main techniques: analysis of da'wah video content on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram; in-depth interviews with preachers and audiences; and virtual observation of digital interactions. Data validity maintained through sources and methods triangulation. The findings reveal that digital da’wah operates within a spectrum of education and popularity, where sensational content often deviates from ethical standards, audiences face ambiguity in assessing quality, and religious authority shifts from scholarly legitimacy to algorithm-driven popularity. Nevertheless, ethical practices can be maintained through creative adaptation strategies such as storytelling, visualization, and healthy interaction with audiences. The main contribution of this study is the development of an ethical framework for digital da’wah that is adaptive to algorithmic logic while preserving scholarly substance, thereby offering a new perspective for the study of Islamic preaching in the social media era. This study concludes that the ethics of Islamic preaching in the digital era are not merely a matter of right or wrong according to religious law, but rather a strategy of adaptation to the logic of virality. The main contribution of this research lies in the formulation of a relevant, critical, and operational ethical framework for digital da’wah, which can serve as a reference for preachers, audiences, and religious institutions in maintaining the integrity of preaching within the digital public sphere.

The research subject is a charismatic Muslim cleric and scholar, K.H. Ahmad Rajafi. This research is a comparison between field research and virtual ethnography using a descriptive qualitative approach. The results of the study found that K.H.

Second, the virtual form is carried out through social media youtube, facebook, and instagram in the form of Islamic motivational content, hadith studies, and yellow book studies. K.H. Ahmad Rajafi packages his da'wah material by prioritizing educational and inspirational values that can be accepted by cross-generations ranging from baby boomers to gen Z, then they use learning materials and increase religious literacy to be applied. The challenges that are present in K.H. Ahmad Rajafi da'wah are the differences in culture and tradition, the potential for social pressure, and the lack of religious literacy level of mad'u.

Abstract

The digital era marks the beginning of a new civilization where the internet has penetrated all aspects of human life and changed awareness of the boundaries of privacy in social interactions. This technological advancement brings serious challenges such as personal data leaks, cybercrime, and ethical neglect in managing information that is vulnerable to widespread exposure. This phenomenon places privacy as a crucial issue that demands in-depth attention to maintain human dignity and ensure individual autonomy amidst the massive flow of digitalization. This study specifically aims to understand, interpret, and analyze the concept of privacy in depth through the perspective of communication ethics in the context of digital media practices. This study uses a descriptive-analytical approach through a literature review of key concepts such as the right to be left alone and Communication Privacy Management Theory (CPM). From a worldview, privacy is found to be a fundamental human right that protects self-autonomyand human dignity from manipulation, domination, and surveillance by external parties in cyberspace. Ethically, privacy management involves the metaphor of information boundaries that encompass elements of ownership and control over personal data disclosed in social interactions. However, current digital media practices face major problems such as permanent digital footprints, data surveillance, and the commercial exploitation of personal information that threatens individual freedom of expression. Privacyprotection in the modern era requires collective ethical awareness to place respect for information boundaries as the primary moral standard to ensure individual security and harmonious social relations.

Abstract

Waqf has significant potential as an instrument of Islamic philanthropy to support sustainable social development. However, public literacy regarding productive waqf remains relatively low, as many people still associate waqf with traditional forms such as mosques, cemeteries, and religious schools. This limitation creates challenges for philanthropic organizations in encouraging broader community participation as waqif. In response, Badan Wakaf Al-Qur’an (BWA) Solo developed the Safari Dakwah Program, which integrates religious preaching with waqf education and fundraising activities. This study aims to analyze the creative communication strategies employed by BWA Solo through the Safari Dakwah Program, focusing on creative message and creative media strategies in enhancing waqif literacy. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving BWA Solo management, fundraising teams, and Safari Dakwah organizers. Data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation, while analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings reveal that BWA Solo applies creative message strategies through audience segmentation, reconstruction of waqf meanings, multidimensional message appeals (spiritual, emotional, social, and rational), and storytelling techniques. Meanwhile, creative media strategies are implemented through the integration of offline and digital media. Offline communication fosters trust and direct engagement, while digital platforms extend communication reach and strengthen long-term relationships with waqif. The integration of both strategies creates an experiential communication process that bridges spiritual awareness and philanthropic action. This study concludes that effective waqf literacy programs require the integration of creative messages and media strategies tailored to audience characteristics, enabling Islamic philanthropic organizations to enhance public engagement and sustainable waqf participation.

Abstract

Tour leader service plays a crucial role in Umrah travel by accompanying pilgrims throughout their pilgrimage journey. However, studies specifically examining the influence of tour leader service on pilgrim satisfaction remain limited. This study aims to examine the effect of tour leader service on Umrah pilgrim satisfaction at PT Hajar Aswad Mubaroq Surakarta, Indonesia. A quantitative correlational design was employed involving 90 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Spearman rank correlation, and simple linear regression. The results reveal a very strong positive relationship between tour leader service and pilgrim satisfaction (rₛ = 0.805, p < .001). Regression analysis further indicates that tour leader service has a positive and significant effect on pilgrim satisfaction (B = 0.555, p < .001), explaining 63.8% of the variance in satisfaction. These findings highlight tour leader service as a key determinant of pilgrim satisfaction and emphasize the importance of strengthening service competence to improve the quality of Umrah travel services.

Abstract

The digital era has shifted marketing communication from text-heavy approaches toward high-quality visual dominance on social media. Instagram is a primary platform for creative industries to communicate their brand identity visually. Aims: This research aims to analyze the utilization of Instagram as a visual communication medium in building the brand image of Eboni Watch. Methods: The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with visual content analysis of 45 posts from the @eboniwatch account during Januari-June of 2026. Data were collected through digital observation, screenshot documentation, engagement metrics recording, and in-depth interviews with selected followers. Semiotic visual analysis was conducted at three levels of meaning (denotation, connotation, myth) and examined through the lens of green marketing and brand identity theory. Results: The findings reveal that @eboniwatch strategically constructs an eco-friendly yet trendy image by consistently blending earthy tone palettes with vibrant pastel backdrops, cinematic compositions, and curated digital lifestyle storytelling. Four dominant thematic categories nature landscapes, creative process, reflective lifestyle, and sustainability education work synergistically within a three‑layer strategy: aesthetic curation, product transcendence, and a brand myth of “time as a natural cycle”. This content ecosystem fosters emotional resonance rather than transactional appeal. Conclusions: Consistent visual layout management and aesthetic lifestyle photography successfully redefine wooden watches into modern, premium fashion items and build a strong brand image anchored in sustainability and mindful living.

Abstract

Supernatural healing practices are still widely found in rural Indonesian communities and are often legitimized through the symbols of the dai. In certain contexts, the authority attributed to a dai becomes distorted when attached to practitioners of supernatural healing, thereby creating space for the abuse of power, including sexual violence. This article aims to analyze how the distortion of a dai’s authority occurs within supernatural healing practices, as well as the social, cultural, and religious factors that render victims vulnerable. This study employs a qualitative approach using a case study method focused on several incidents of sexual violence in rural areas. The findings indicate that sexual violence is not merely the result of individual moral deviance, but is also rooted in unequal power relations, uncritical religious beliefs, and the lack of religious and legal literacy within the community. This article emphasizes the importance of deconstructing pseudo-dai authority and strengthening critical religious education as preventive measures against sexual violence.

Abstract

Islamic mysticism (tasawuf) is an esoteric dimension of Islam that emphasizes the purification of the soul, closeness to God, and the cultivation of noble character. Amid modern society, which tends to be materialistic and individualistic, Sufism holds great potential as a means of persuasive communication in fostering spiritual and moral awareness. This study aims to examine the concept of Sufism from the perspective of persuasive communication and its relevance in shaping the religious behavior of society. The method used is library research, analyzing primary and secondary sources such as classical Sufi texts, communication books, and relevant scholarly articles. The results of the study indicate that Sufi teachings contain strong elements of persuasive communication, such as exemplary conduct (uswah), an emotional approach (qalbiyah), linguistic symbolism, and the gradual internalization of values. Sufism functions not only as an individual spiritual practice but also as an effective communication strategy for sustainably shaping the ethical and spiritual consciousness of society. This study aims to examine the concept of Sufism from the perspective of persuasive  communication and its relevance in shaping the religious behavior of society. The method used is library research, analyzing primary and secondary sources such as classical Sufi texts, communication books, and relevant scholarly articles. The results of the study indicate that Sufi teachings contain strong elements of persuasive communication, such as exemplary conduct (uswah), an emotional approach (qalbiyah), linguistic symbolism, and the gradual internalization of values. Tasawuf functions not only as an individual spiritual practice but also as an effective communication strategy for shaping the ethical and spiritual consciousness of society in asustainable manner. Tasawuf merupakan dimensi esoteris dalam Islam yang menekankan penyucian jiwa, kedekatan dengan Tuhan, serta pembentukan akhlak mulia. Di tengah kehidupan masyarakat modern yang cenderung materialistik dan individualistik, tasawuf memiliki potensi besar sebagai sarana komunikasi persuasif dalam membangun kesadaran spiritual dan moral. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji konsep tasawuf dari perspektif komunikasi persuasif serta relevansinya dalam membentuk perilaku religius masyarakat. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kepustakaan dengan menganalisis sumber-sumber primer dan sekunder berupa kitab tasawuf klasik, buku komunikasi, serta artikel ilmiah yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ajaran tasawuf mengandung unsur-unsur komunikasi persuasif yang kuat, seperti keteladanan (uswah), pendekatan emosional (qalbiyah), simbolisme bahasa, dan internalisasi nilai secara gradual. Tasawuf tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai praktik spiritual individual, tetapi juga sebagai strategi komunikasi yang efektif dalam membentuk kesadaran etis dan spiritual masyarakat secara berkelanjutan.
