Abstract

This study aims to analyse humanitarian da'wah messages on Instagram in the context of fundraising for the Aceh Tamiang disaster through the @salimafillah_official account. The increasing use of social media as a platform for humanitarian campaigns has expanded the function of da'wah beyond mobilising public donations to strengthening spiritual awareness and social solidarity. This study addresses three research questions concerning the variation of humanitarian da'wah messages, the consistency of message delivery, and the dominance of fundraising documentation compared with substantive da'wah messages. A descriptive qualitative approach employing content analysis was applied to 2 Instagram posts, including captions, images, and videos uploaded during the fundraising campaign. Data were collected through documentation of Instagram content and a literature review, and analysed using thematic content analysis. The findings reveal that humanitarian da'wah messages are consistently communicated through persuasive narratives integrating emotional, rational, and religious appeals. However, the variation of messages remains limited and tends to be repetitive. In addition, the content is predominantly focused on documenting fundraising activities rather than providing deeper spiritual guidance for disaster victims. Nevertheless, reflective narratives promoting empathy, compassion, and public participation remain evident throughout the campaign. The study concludes that Instagram-based humanitarian da'wah functions as an effective medium for moral communication and social mobilisation, although greater diversity and depth of da'wah messages are needed to optimise both humanitarian and spiritual objectives.

Abstract

This study examines the role of the kiai (Islamic boarding school leader) as an agent of community relations (hubungan masyarakat) in sustaining the institutional existence of Pondok Pesantren Burhanul Abrar, Besuki, Situbondo, East Java, Indonesia. Situated within the framework of Islamic community development and institutional communication, the study analyzes the strategies, patterns, and social dynamics through which the kiai builds and maintains relationships with surrounding communities, alumni networks, government actors, and the broader public. A qualitative research design with a case study approach was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with pesantren administrators, student guardians (wali santri), alumni, and community figures selected through purposive sampling, complemented by participatory observation of da'wah activities, social services, and community interactions, as well as institutional documentation. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña comprising data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, with validity ensured through source, method, and time triangulation. The findings reveal that the kiai occupies a strategically central position in the pesantren's community relations system, functioning simultaneously as a charismatic leader, moral communicator, social capital builder, and cultural da'wah actor. The kiai's community relations strategies encompass personal communication, cultural engagement through local Islamic traditions, moral exemplarity, external da'wah activities across multiple regions, and alumni network strengthening through the IKSABA organization. These strategies have yielded measurable outcomes, including a growth in student enrollment from 220 santri in 2023 to 255 in 2024 and 290 in 2025, reflecting increasing public trust and the deepening social legitimacy of the institution. The study concludes that the kiai's role as a cultural public relations agent is the most dominant factor in sustaining the pesantren's existence, and contributes a replicable model of community-based Islamic institutional communication applicable to other pesantren in contemporary Indonesia.
