Abstract

In the digital era, social media has become a tool with many advantages in supporting da'wah activities. These include the ability to reach a wide audience, direct interaction, and the speed of message dissemination. However, there are also obstacles to overcome, such as the rapid flow of content uploaded at any given time, the potential for the spread of false or misleading information, and differences in perception and interpretation of da'wah messages among diverse da'wah partners. Many cases arise from the communication style of some preachers on social media, which can sometimes be rude, offensive, or display excessive lifestyles. The main focus of this article is to formulate da'wah strategies that are appropriate to the dynamics of the digital era. The findings indicate that contemporary da'wah strategies utilize various digital tools such as social media, podcasts, YouTube, blogs, da'wah apps, and cross-platform strategies. The process involves a series of structured steps including audience analysis, platform selection, content production, message distribution, and regular evaluation to ensure message delivery remains relevant, broad, and sustainable. The implementation of da'wah needs to use a creative and interactive approach so that it can reach a wider target to all audiences, especially the millennial generation Z group. Short visual-based content, supported by technology, has proven effective in attracting attention and strengthening religious messages.

Abstract

Regional legislative bodies (DPRD) play a strategic yet underexamined role in ensuring welfare-oriented policies genuinely benefit the public. This study analyzes the representation of Bengkulu Provincial DPRD members in supporting the "Bantu Rakyat" policy, addressing a gap in existing literature that examines DPRD functions generically without linking them to specific pro-people programs at the provincial level. Employing Hanna Pitkin's (1967) Theory of Representation encompassing formalistic, descriptive, symbolic, and substantive dimensions as its analytical framework, this study uses a qualitative library research method supplemented by purposive in-depth interviews with members of Commission I of the Bengkulu Provincial DPRD. Findings reveal that all four representational dimensions are present, though with varying effectiveness. Formalistic representation is evident in active APBD deliberation and policy approval; descriptive representation emerges through members' diverse socioeconomic backgrounds enabling articulation of constituents' needs; symbolic representation appears in public communications that strengthen public trust. Most critically, substantive representation the highest indicator of representational quality is reflected in supervisory activities including field visits, evaluation sessions, and recommendations to improve benefit distribution transparency, though constrained by limited inter-agency coordination and institutional capacity. This study contributes theoretically by applying Pitkin's framework to a provincial legislative context in Indonesia, and practically by providing a diagnostic basis for strengthening the DPRD's substantive role in welfare policy delivery.

Abstract

This study explores the role of communication media within the prophetic paradigm as a sociological model for Public Relations (PR) in addressing contemporary social communication problems. Departing from the premise that media is not merely a channel of message delivery but an institution that shapes social realities, this research analyzes how mediatization, commercialization, and sensational framing contribute to the fragmentation of social cohesion. The paper employs a sociological communication framework combined with prophetic values humanization, liberation, and transcendence as formulated by Kuntowijoyo, to offer an ethical corrective to media distortion and distrust. Drawing on Qur’anic principles such as al-Hamāsah, ad-Da’wu Bih, and tabayyun, the study argues that prophetic communication provides a moral and operational model capable of restoring social harmony. The research reveals that media and PR practices rooted in empathy, ethical verification, anti-sensational framing, and public-oriented narratives can reduce polarization, strengthen social trust, and protect communities from digital misinformation. This work proposes the Prophetic Public Relations Model as an alternative framework for reclaiming social harmony by positioning media as a moral mediator, cultural integrator, and guardian of public ethics. Ultimately, this study highlights the transformative potential of prophetic communication in shaping a more ethical, inclusive, and socially cohesive media environment.

Abstract

Strengthening entrepreneurship education is an important response to global economic disruption and the challenges of the demographic bonus. In the context of Islamic boarding schools, various studies have examined managerial strategies and business unit development, but there are still limited studies that conceptually and empirically explain how the leadership of Kyai shapes the entrepreneurial identity of students, especially in free Islamic boarding schools with limited financial resources. This study aims to analyze the concept, process, and impact of the paternalistic-technocratic leadership of Kyai in developing the entrepreneurial spirit of students at the Al-Amin People's Islamic Boarding School in Sumberpucung, Malang. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, then analyzed using an interactive model through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions with triangulation techniques to ensure credibility. The results show that the leadership of Kyai at the Al-Amin People's Islamic Boarding School is integrative between spiritual values, paternalistic relationships, and technocratic capabilities in managing the Islamic boarding school's economic system. The process of fostering entrepreneurship takes place through role models, active participation, experiential learning, and delegation of responsibilities. The impact is the formation of the entrepreneurial character of students which includes independence, creativity, and work ethic, as well as the creation of economic independence of Islamic boarding schools. This research produces a conceptual model of the SIPEA Leadership (Spiritual-Integrative, Participatory, and Entrepreneurial Adaptive Leadership) model, a model of Kyai leadership that integrates spiritual values, paternalistic role models, participatory empowerment, and the development of entrepreneurial character in students within a free Islamic boarding school system. These findings contribute to the development of Islamic educational leadership theory and the practice of Islamic boarding school-based economic empowerment.

Abstract

This research, using empirical data from Bengkulu Province, revisits the implementation of deradicalization policies in Indonesia by creating an integrated governance model based on the dynamics of reintegration of former terrorist convicts. This study discusses the ongoing fragmentation in deradicalization programs, where socio-economic reintegration, psychosocial rehabilitation, and ideological disengagement are still poorly coordinated across various institutions. Data were collected from 30 informants representing government agencies, academics, civil society, media, corporate actors, and former terrorist convicts using a qualitative descriptive design and an interactive analytical approach from Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014). The findings demonstrate that the effectiveness of deradicalization is shaped by three interdependent dimensions: (1) cognitive transformation through educational interventions, (2) psychosocial recovery through rehabilitation processes, and (3) structural reintegration through social inclusion and economic empowerment. However, significant implementation gaps persist, particularly in inter-agency coordination, sustainability of economic support, and the persistence of social stigma toward former offenders. The results of this study offer the Integrated Penta-helix Deradicalization Governance Model (IPDGM), a unique theoretical framework that combines social identity theory, collaborative governance theory, and policy implementation theory. By shifting the focus of analysis from state-centered methods to multi-actor governance, this model improves the literature and provides policymakers in Indonesia with a more flexible and comprehensive framework for implementing deradicalization policies.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the digital communication competence of foster children at the Child Social Welfare Institution (LKSA) Kasih Ibu, Bengkulu City, through the framework of the Four Pillars of Digital Literacy. Amid the rapid expansion of digital transformation, foster children living in alternative care institutions face unique challenges related to media supervision and communication risks within cyberspace. Methods: This study employed a quantitative descriptive statistical design using a census technique involving the entire population of foster children (N = 17). Data were collected through a structured questionnaire developed based on the Indonesian National Digital Literacy Framework established by the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kominfo). The data were analyzed using percentage-based descriptive techniques. Results: The findings revealed an asymmetrical pattern of digital communication competence. Most respondents were adolescents aged 12–15 years and were enrolled in junior secondary education (53.30%). Specifically, the dimensions of Digital Ethics (54%) and Digital Skills (46.15%) were categorized as high, indicating polite communication behaviour and adequate technical proficiency in Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC). In contrast, Digital Safety was classified as low (46.15%), while Digital Culture was categorized as moderate (34.46%). Conclusion: The results indicate a gap between ethical communication practices and awareness of digital privacy protection. Although foster children demonstrate prosocial communication behaviours, they remain highly vulnerable to cybersecurity risks due to inadequate privacy management practices. This study recommends the implementation of caregiving policies and educational interventions focused on digital risk mitigation to protect marginalized children from potential threats and exploitation in digital public spaces.

This qualitative study uses a content analysis approach. Primary data using documents from the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) Fatwa Number 86 of 2023 on the Law of Global Climate Change Control, and various correlative scientific literature as secondary data. Harold Lasswell’s theory of mass communication as the foundation of the perspective. Documentation techniques were used in data collection, and data analysis techniques included reduction, presentation, and verification stages. This study concludes that there are three functions of mass communication in the literacy of MUI's fatwa on the Law of Global Climate Change Control, including the function of environmental monitoring related to the rampant phenomenon of natural disasters as a result of global climate change. Then, the function of social correlation related to the importance of cooperation between MUI with all elements of society and government agencies in the implementation of the fatwa on controlling global climate change. Furthermore, the function of social transmission is related to MUI's duty in instilling guidelines for Muslims in facing the problem of global climate change. This study highlights the importance of establishing a holistic approach to mass communication in disseminating fatwa-based literacy regarding environmental and socio-religious issues

Abstract

The development of digital media has driven a shift towards fast-paced, efficient journalistic practices, resulting in a proliferation of digital coverage that prioritizes speed and controversy, particularly regarding pesantren (Indonesian Islamic boarding schools). Through literary journalism, Kediripedia.com serves as an alternative media platform that presents information about pesantren from a different perspective, drawing on lived experience. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the implementation of literary journalism in reporting on pesantren on the online media platform Kediripedia.com, using a qualitative approach based on Teun A. van Dijk’s critical discourse analysis model. The data collection techniques employed were interviews with the Managing Editor and Journalists of Kediripedia.com, as well as a documentary study of four news articles on the theme of pesantren, selected via purposive sampling based on the characteristics of literary journalism. The analysis was conducted across three textual dimensions: text structure (macro, superstructure, and micro), social cognition, and social context. The results of this study indicate that Kediripedia.com employs literary journalism through metaphors, emotive vocabulary, third-person pronouns, and dramatic narrative flow. Consequently, the texts are dominated by a narrative writing style. In terms of social cognition, the journalists’ position utilizes a schema comprising events, the self, persons, and roles. In the social context, Kediripedia.com’s news reinforces the local identity of pesantren amidst negative coverage by employing a narrative, emotional, and dramatic writing style.

Abstract

This study examines the role of tazkiyatun nafs (spiritual purification of the soul) in enhancing Muslim family resilience in the digital era. Rapid technological advancement, excessive social media use, and digital dependency have created challenges for family communication, emotional stability, and moral cohesion. This research employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following PRISMA guidelines and analyzed 25 peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025 from Scopus, ScienceDirect, DOAJ, and Google Scholar. The findings indicate that tazkiyatun nafs, through the stages of takhalli, tahalli, and tajalli, strengthens family resilience at three interconnected levels: intrapersonal, interpersonal, and transpersonal. The process promotes emotional regulation, self-control, empathetic communication, constructive conflict resolution, and shared spiritual meaning within family relationships. The study further demonstrates that spiritual purification complements psychological resilience mechanisms by providing an internal moral and spiritual foundation that helps families cope with technoference, social comparison, and digital overexposure. These findings highlight the relevance of integrating Islamic spiritual principles with contemporary psychological approaches to foster resilient Muslim families in the digital era. The study offers practical implications for Islamic family counseling, digital literacy programs, and spirituality-based family resilience interventions.
