The Role of Social Media in Increasing the Effectiveness of Islamic Communication Among Millennials
This study aims to explore the forms and characteristics of Islamic communication among the millennial generation, especially in the context of social media use and the dynamics of communication patterns that emerge in the digital era. The millennial generation, who grew and developed along with the advancement of information technology, has a different communication style compared to the previous generation. They tend to prioritize communication that is visual, interactive, and involves active participation. In the realm of Islamic preaching, this condition is a challenge as well as an opportunity for preachers to adjust their message delivery methods. This study uses a qualitative approach based on literature studies by reviewing relevant literature related to Islamic communication, generation theory, and the use of social media in preaching. The findings of this study reveal that the success of Islamic communication to the millennial generation is highly dependent on the preacher's ability to convey messages contextually, use inclusive language, and maximize the use of digital media as the main medium. In addition, an approach that touches the emotional side and encourages active audience involvement is an important element in establishing effective communication. Therefore, an Islamic communication strategy that is adaptive to the development of the times, responsive to technological advances, and sensitive to the social character of the millennial generation plays a major role in strengthening Islamic preaching in the modern era.

Assessing Risk before Departure: Risk Perception and Decision-Making of Prospective Indonesian Migrant Workers
This study aims to analyze the influence of risk perception on the decision-making of prospective Indonesian migrant workers (CPMI) in the pre-departure phase. The growing public interest in working abroad is often not accompanied by an adequate understanding of the potential risks. This study offers novelty by empirically integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Risk-as-Feelings Framework within the specific pre-departure migration context, demonstrating that risk perception functions as a significant cognitive–affective predictor of rational decision-making among prospective Indonesian migrant workers.This study uses a quantitative, correlational design. Participants were 150 prospective migrant workers who attended training at five Job Training Institutions (LPK) in Indonesia. The research instrument consisted of the Perceived Risk Factors for Pre-departure Migrant Workers Scale (PD-RFPS) and the Quality of Decision-Making Orientation Scheme (QoDoS), both of which demonstrated high reliability (α = 0.913 and α = 0.950, respectively). Data analysis was performed using simple linear regression in SPSS. The results showed that risk perception significantly affected the decision-making of prospective migrant workers (R² = 0.446; p < 0.05). The higher an individual's perception of risk, the more rational and careful their decision-making process is. These findings strengthen the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Risk-as-Feelings Framework by emphasizing the role of interactions between cognitive and affective processes in the context of work migration. In practice, this study's results highlight the importance of risk perception education and strengthening psychological literacy in pre-departure training for migrant workers to improve mental readiness and work safety abroad.
The Crisis of Meaning in the Age of Meaning: A Literature Review of Semantic Disorders in Social Media
The digital era has fundamentally changed the pattern of human communication. One of the significant impacts of this change is the occurrence of a crisis of meaning in online interactions, triggered by the semantic bending in the use of language on social media. Phenomena such as memes, irony, and remix culture also accelerate the process of shift and ambiguity of meaning. This article aims to examine the literature on meaning disorders that occur in the digital space, especially on social media. With the literature study method, the author examines theories of meaning, digital language, and the phenomenon of memes as a form of bending meaning. The results of the study show that social media contributes to semantic crises through the production of meanings that are contextual, fragmented, and often ironic. This article also highlights the urgency of semantic literacy and digital communication ethics as a response to the crisis of meaning in the post-truth era.

The Challenges of Islamic Communication in Facing the Normalization of Romantic Behavior of Teenagers in Banda Aceh City
This study aims to analyze the challenges of da’wah communication in responding to the normalization of romantic behavior among adolescents in Banda Aceh. The research focuses on identifying the forms of romantic behavior, the responses of da’wah actors, and the barriers that arise in delivering moral messages within the youth digital culture. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews and social observation. The research informants consist of five individuals, including one young da’i and four adolescents from diverse social backgrounds. The findings reveal that romantic behaviors such as riding in pairs, spending time together privately at cafés, and displaying intimacy on social media are increasingly perceived as socially acceptable. This normalization is driven by digital media influence, popular cultural trends, the weakening of parental supervision, and adolescents’ psychological need for social recognition. Adolescents do not reject religion itself, but rather resist forms of da’wah that are judgmental, rigid, and lacking communicative sensitivity. Instead, they prefer da’wah that is persuasive, conversational, uses contemporary youth language, and is disseminated through social media and direct engagement in their social environment. The analysis employs the Uses and Gratifications Theory, which explains that adolescents actively select and consume media content based on their psychological and social needs. Consequently, romantic content becomes more attractive than conventional religious communication. The study concludes that the effectiveness of da’wah in the digital era depends on the ability of preachers to adapt their communication strategies, optimize the use of social media, and provide alternative gratifications that align with Islamic values.
Strategies of Darul Muttaqin Mosque Management in Addressing The Misuse of Mosque Facilities as a Sleeping Area
The Darul Muttaqin Mosque has encountered a phenomenon that has become a concern, namely the misuse of mosque facilities, particularly the use of the mosque as a sleeping area by some students. Although the mosque's primary purpose is for worship and religious activities, the phenomenon of students sleeping in the mosque has been occurring more frequently. This study aims to explore in depth the strategies employed by the management of the Darul Muttaqin Mosque to address the misuse of mosque facilities, specifically regarding the issue of sleeping in the mosque. The research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, involving in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The theoretical framework used is Henry Mintzberg’s (1939) Strategic Management Theory. The findings indicate that mosque management faces challenges in maintaining the sanctity and primary function of the mosque as a place of worship. The misuse of mosque facilities, particularly the use of the mosque as a sleeping area, often occurs due to a lack of ethical awareness and discipline among visitors. Although the mosque management has made efforts to reprimand visitors sleeping in inappropriate areas, these efforts often fail to yield consistent results. Therefore, a more systematic and participatory approach is needed to address this issue.

Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that Palembang arts and culture have a positive and significant effect on improving students’ digital literacy and communication creativity. Students actively involved in local cultural activities demonstrate greater abilities in utilizing digital media creatively, ethically, and contextually. Cultural values such as cooperation, originality, and aesthetics encourage the creation of innovative digital content rooted in local identity. Qualitative findings further reveal that social media serves as a strategic space for students to express cultural identity and expand positive communication networks.

The Transformation of Abu Bakar Ba'asyir's Rhetoric: A Discourse Analysis of the Narrative of Qoul Qodim to Qoul Jadid
This research examines the transformation of Abu Bakar Ba'asyir's da'wah rhetoric from the qoul qodim narrative that rejects Pancasila to the qoul jadid that accepts and internalizes the country's core values. This topic was chosen because the paradigm shift in the da'wah of a figure who has been stigmatized as radical, even by the international community, reflects the dynamics of religious communication in the context of Islam Nusantara and the challenges of integrating religious values with national identity. The research was conducted using a descriptive-analytical qualitative method, employing a corpus of lectures, video recordings, and in-depth interviews with Ba'asyir and his family as primary data, supported by symbolic observation at the Al-Mukmin Ngruki Islamic boarding school. Critical discourse analysis and thematic analysis were applied to identify shifts in ethos, pathos, and logos strategies, as well as contemporary ijtihad processes that recontextualize religious argumentation. The research findings indicate that the legitimacy of da'wah is shifting from exclusive theological authority to historical-cultural authority, emotional language is moving from moral threats to collective empathy narratives, and rational arguments are being recontextualized thru references to the historical background of the nation's founding scholars. The combination of these three aspects strengthens the effectiveness of da'wah communication in a pluralistic society. In conclusion, Ba'asyir's rhetorical transformation demonstrates the importance of contextualizing and inculturating religious messages to bridge monotheism and Pancasila values without losing theological substance. Research recommendations include developing adaptive da'wah communication training for scholars and da'is, integrating the study of ulama history into the da'wah curriculum, and utilizing local symbols and digital media to strengthen the legitimacy and appeal of da'wah messages within the local cultural context.
Representation of Islamic Communication in Multicultural Spaces: A Semiotic Analysis of the Film 99 Cahaya di Langit Eropa
This study aims to analyze the representation of Islamic communication within multicultural spaces through the film 99 Cahaya di Langit Eropa. The focus is directed toward visual symbols such as mosques and the hijab, verbal signs in the form of dialogues about Qur’anic recitation and greetings of peace, as well as the narrative of the main character’s religious experiences that portray interactions between Muslims and European society.

Data were obtained through documentation by repeatedly viewing the film and supported by academic literature related to Islamic communication, the mediatization of religion, and semiotics. The findings reveal that the film represents Islamic communication in a persuasive, inclusive, and adaptive manner, functioning as a medium of intercultural and interreligious interaction. At the denotative level, Islamic symbols appear as religious identity, while at the connotative level, they affirm values of tolerance, harmony, and solidarity. At the mythic level, the film constructs an ideological narrative that Islam is a universal religion capable of engaging in dialogue with diversity. This study highlights the significant role of popular media in constructing discourses of Islamic communication within multicultural spaces.
