Abstract

This study is a systematic review of the literature related to the integration of da'wah values ​​in Surah An-Naḥl verse 125 with a modern management framework. Using the PRISMA method, 50 selected studies from 2014–2024 were analyzed thematically to identify patterns of interpretation, application, challenges, and directions for scientific development. The results indicate that the three principles of the Qur'an al-ḥknowledge, knowledgeẓAh Al-ḥasanah, and al-mujādalah bi-allatī hiya aḥThe principles of Islamic da'wah have been recontextualized and integrated with the POAC (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, Controlling) management function, thus giving rise to the Value-Based Islamic Management approach. These studies demonstrate the application of Qur'anic principles in various contemporary da'wah contexts, particularly digital da'wah, Islamic education, community empowerment, and organizational management. However, existing research is still dominated by conceptual studies with limited empirical evidence, evaluation instruments, and minimal focus on marginalized groups such as people with disabilities. This study offers an integrative conceptual framework to strengthen the formulation of values-based da'wah management theory and encourage more rigorous empirical research. These findings are expected to enrich da'wah management theory, strengthen institutional practices, and be considered in the development of inclusive and adaptive da'wah policies.

Abstract

The development of social media has significantly changed the landscape of da'wah, particularly through the presence of the Twitter platform, which has become a fast, interactive, and algorithmic public discourse space. This study aims to analyze how cyber da'wah management is implemented by da'wah accounts on the Twitter platform and how their communication strategies contribute to the formation of public opinion. Using a qualitative approach with a multiple case study design, this study examined three da'wah accounts selected purposively based on their level of activity, influence, and audience engagement. Data were collected through passive netnography over three months, analysis of digital documents, visual artifacts, and supporting literature studies. Analysis was conducted using Miles and Huberman's interactive model through data reduction, data presentation, and cross-case verification. The results show that effective cyber da'wah combines moment-based content planning, digital identity organization, utilization of platform features such as hashtags, threads, and trending topics, and evaluation based on interaction metrics. The communication strategies used include framing messages according to the social context, building credibility as micro-influencers, and strengthening communality through two-way interactions. Public opinion formation occurs through a combination of persuasive framing, the presence of credible influencers, and audience participation in digital dialogue. The study also identified supporting factors such as an intuitive understanding of platform algorithms and audience spiritual needs, as well as a number of challenges such as discourse polarization, competition for attention (attention economy), and the risk of misinformation. This study offers an integrative model of cyber da'wah management that combines classical management principles, digital communication strategies, and platform logic. These findings provide theoretical contributions to the study of digital da'wah and practical recommendations for da'wah managers to design effective, data-driven, and adaptive content strategies to the dynamics of the digital space.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the components of da'wah management relevant to Generation Z (Gen Z) through a literature review of various recent studies on digital da'wah, communication strategies, and media behavior of the younger generation. Gen Z is a group that is very familiar with technology, has a preference for visual, interactive content, and informal communication, thus requiring an updated da'wah strategy that differs from conventional approaches. The results of the study indicate that the effectiveness of da'wah for Gen Z is largely determined by the integration of digital media such as TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and podcasts, which serve as their primary information consumption spaces. In addition, branding of da'wah institutions plays a significant role in building the image, credibility, and emotional engagement of young audiences. Informal da'wah approaches through community spaces, cafes, and creative events have also proven more resonant for Gen Z because they support participation and psychological closeness. However, digital da'wah faces challenges such as competition with entertainment content, the risk of message simplification, and low digital literacy in some da'wah institutions. This study concludes that preaching to Gen Z requires an innovative, participatory, and branding-based multi-channel approach, accompanied by strengthening digital capacity to ensure the sustainability of preaching in the modern era.

Abstract

Digital transformation has shifted the paradigm of da'wah from a traditional, linear approach to a participatory, network-based, and experience-oriented model. This article presents a narrative systematic review of the current literature (2020–2025) to analyze da'wah media management in the context of digital dynamics. The research findings reveal that the effectiveness of digital da'wah depends not only on technology adoption, but on the synergistic integration of three main pillars: (1) systematic management principles that combine data-driven planning with authentic Islamic values; (2) innovative content and platform strategies that are creative, interactive, and in line with the preferences of the younger generation (millennials and Gen Z); and (3) strengthening two-way interactions and digital branding to build sustainable online communities. This study also identifies the potential of immersive technologies (AR/VR) and the importance of media production competencies. As a synthesis, a three-layer integrative model (value-strategy foundation, content-technology execution, and relationship-branding) is proposed that can serve as a guide for academics and practitioners. Practical implications emphasize investing in team capacity, audience-centric content strategies, judicious exploration of technology, and a focus on relationship building. Thus, this article offers a conceptual and operational framework for optimizing digital da'wah media to remain relevant, effective, and transformative in the 21st century.

Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has driven significant transformations in da'wah management. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the innovations, opportunities, ethical challenges, and regulatory implications of AI integration in modern da'wah strategies. Using a systematic literature review method on 28 articles selected from a total of 1,022 publications, this study identified four main focuses: (1) AI innovations in da'wah such as congregational behavior analysis, message personalization, and service automation; (2) strategic opportunities in the form of expanding the reach of da'wah, strengthening moderate Islamic narratives, and increasing two-way interactions through digital technology; (3) ethical challenges and risks including the erosion of religious authority, algorithmic bias, misinformation, data privacy, and the potential for extremist manipulation; and (4) the urgency of regulation and collaboration between ulama, technologists, academics, and the government to ensure AI implementation is in accordance with Islamic values. The results of the study confirm that AI has great potential to revolutionize da'wah, but its implementation must be carried out ethically, directed, and inclusively to avoid digital inequality and the distortion of religious meaning. This research provides a theoretical framework and practical recommendations for the development of AI-based da'wah in the future.

Abstract

This research examines the process of spreading Islam through Sekaten and the orientation of Javanese cultural values embedded in Yogyakarta. The process of Islamization in this context is closely linked to the role of the Walisongo, who facilitated the inclusive integration of Islam through traditions and culture, allowing it to endure to this day. Sekati, or gamelan music, was used as a medium for Islamization. This tradition later evolved into what is now known as Sekaten, which remains a preserved cultural heritage. The term Sekaten is derived from Syahadatain, meaning the two Islamic declarations of faith. However, Sekaten has evolved beyond a tool for Islamization and has become a means of entertainment and a source of economic support for the community. The research adopts a descriptive method with description, interpretation, heuristics, and critical reflection from a philosophical, qualitative perspective. It draws on sources such as journals, books, news articles, and other literature. The positive impacts of Sekaten on the relationship between God, the universe, and society, as analyzed through the relevant theories, include an inclusive renewal of the Islamization process, the preservation of culture, and the fostering of moral values in society.

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric review of research on Islamic education published between 2000 and 2024, aiming to map its intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and collaboration patterns over time. Using bibliometric techniques, data were extracted from the Scopus database and analyzed through performance indicators and science-mapping methods, including keyword co-occurrence, co-authorship, institutional affiliation, and country collaboration analyses. The results reveal that Islamic education research has been historically grounded, with strong emphasis on longitudinal and historical perspectives that form the core intellectual foundation of the field. Over time, the thematic focus has gradually shifted toward more interdisciplinary and applied concerns, particularly cultural contexts and contemporary educational practices. Collaboration analyses further show a dense but uneven global research network, dominated by Western institutions and countries, with emerging connections to Asia mediated through key bridging nations. The findings demonstrate that Islamic education research has evolved into a dynamic and diversified field, offering significant opportunities for future studies that emphasize cross-cultural perspectives, educational innovation, and broader global participation.

Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric review of Islamic economics research published between 2000 and 2024, with the aim of mapping growth patterns, thematic evolution, intellectual structure, and collaboration networks within the field. Using bibliometric techniques and network visualization tools, the study analyzes publication trends, keyword co-occurrence, citation structures, and author, institutional, and country-level collaborations based on data retrieved from the Scopus database. The findings reveal a significant expansion of scholarly output over the past two decades, accompanied by a clear shift from normative and doctrinal discussions toward applied, empirical, and interdisciplinary research. Core themes have evolved from religion, Islamic law, and historical perspectives to finance-led and development-oriented topics such as Islamic finance, waqf, fintech, poverty alleviation, sustainability, and economic growth. Network analyses indicate that while Islamic economics research is increasingly internationalized, collaboration remains concentrated among a limited number of authors, institutions, and countries, with Malaysia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia serving as key bridging hubs. Overall, the study highlights the intellectual maturation of Islamic economics as a field and underscores its growing relevance in addressing contemporary challenges related to inclusive growth, ethical finance, and sustainable development.
