Abstract

Israel's attack on the Gaza area has become a major human rights issue that has attracted public attention. The genocide, which began on October 7, 2023, has claimed thousands of innocent lives. All Muslims in the world sympathize with the disaster that occurred in Palestine. However, this sympathy is vulnerable to being infiltrated by religious radicalism movements, especially those related to opinions spread on social media. Therefore, this research focuses on looking at these potentials. This research is empirical research using netnographic data collection by the hashtag #khilafah on Instagram. Based on this search, an account was found with the name @bultendakwahkaffah, which is an Instagram account for online bulletins spreading propaganda for the Khilafah Islamiyah movement. The propaganda spread by this account revolves around the implementation of an Islamic caliphate, which can guarantee the implementation of Palestinian independence. The form of Khilafah Islamyah as a representation of the unity of the Muslim ummah will liberate Palestine from Israeli colonialism, relying on the unity of all Muslims in the world and the implementation of Islamic law. The author also found that the account in question was affiliated with the ideologies of the Hizbut Tahrir organization, which was disbanded by the government in 2017. The Palestinian issue, which is full of humanity, really attracts the sympathy of the wider community. By hiding behind humanitarian issues, it is feared that the Islamic caliphate movement, which has long been a problem, will attract sympathy from many people on social media.

Abstract

This study spotlights women's religious authority in the Ummul Mukminin Mosque at Universitas Islam Bandung (Unisba). It seeks to investigate how female initiative negotiates with and coexists with existing (and generally male-dominated) religion, as well as the role of women in its re-emergence. In the early twentieth century, a new wave of women's revivalist groups promoted the role of women in public spaces such as mosques and madrasas, spreading new or reinvented forms of religious practice, attire, and interpretation among Muslim women. Furthermore, women with formal education gained access to employment prospects traditionally exclusive to men. Nonetheless, the growth of female religious roles presents both possibilities and barriers. Women's presence and involvement in the mosque are demarcated by general perceptions of women's prayer at home, gender stereotypes, and leadership restrictions on women. Therefore, this paper concerns the struggles of women in the academic community of Unisba to sustain their existence in a male-dominated public environment. According to the findings of this study, women's agency at Unisba elevates its religious authority through building the mosque and organizing the numerous religious events geared primarily at women's empowerment. The qualitative technique employed includes in-depth observation, interviews, and pertinent social media sources.

Abstract

This research investigates the impact of innovation, entrepreneurship, and business development on the economic independence of Muslims in Indonesia through a quantitative analysis. A sample of 120 respondents representing diverse demographic backgrounds was surveyed, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS) was employed to analyze the data. The measurement model assessment confirmed the reliability and validity of the constructs, while the structural model estimation revealed significant positive relationships between innovation, entrepreneurship, business development, and economic independence. Hypothesis testing further validated these relationships, indicating that all three factors—innovation, entrepreneurship, and business development—have a significant positive effect on economic independence among Muslims in Indonesia. The findings underscore the importance of fostering innovation ecosystems, nurturing entrepreneurial talent, and creating conducive business environments to promote economic autonomy within the Muslim community. These insights have implications for policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders seeking to design targeted interventions for inclusive economic development and sustainable growth in Indonesia.

Abstract

This qualitative study explores the role of YouTube in revitalizing Da'wah (Islamic propagation) and its implications for promoting digital literacy in Indonesia. Drawing on in-depth interviews with religious scholars, Da'wah practitioners, YouTube content creators, and active viewers, as well as content analysis of Da'wah videos on YouTube and participant observation of online Da'wah activities, the research investigates the strategies, reception, and impact of digital Da'wah efforts. The findings reveal that YouTube serves as a dynamic platform for religious communication, enabling practitioners to reach diverse audiences and convey religious messages in engaging formats. While YouTube-based Da'wah has the potential to promote digital literacy by providing access to diverse perspectives and fostering critical thinking skills, challenges such as misinformation and algorithmic bias underscore the need for media literacy education among viewers. Overall, this study contributes to understanding the intersection of digital media, religious communication, and digital literacy in Indonesia's diverse socio-cultural context.
