The presence of Wali Songo in Javanese society by bringing Islamic teachings was not readily accepted by the community. Thus, Wali Songo is faced with an organisation with traditions, culture, and instructions that they have long adhered to.
Therefore, the strategy taken by Wali Songo is through da’wah appropriately and wisely, namely by combining elements of Islamic religious teachings and local culture without eliminating aspects of culture, instructions, and socio-economic conditions of the community.
The communication pattern of Wali Songo’s da’wah was finally able to bear fruit with the acceptance of Islam as a new religion for indigenous people, especially Java, even Islam became the majority religion and developed until now.
Previously, da’wah was more concerned with worshipping Allah and was based on the intention and motivation to hope for the pleasure of Allah alone. However, along with the development of technology, preaching has developed. Therefore, the da’wah method carried out by Wali Songo can be applied by following the times.
Social media has become a necessity of life and provides a challenge and an excellent opportunity to convey Islamic teachings, especially for preachers. Preachers are required to be able to use social media as a means of preaching.
