Unlike the times of the Wali Songo, in the digital era like today, technology can be used by scholars or preachers to spread Islamic teachings. A preacher can take advantage of technological advances, especially the Internet, as a strategy in delivering da’wah. Social media as a medium of da’wah is an opportunity and a challenge to spread Islamic teachings.
This is done so that da’wah is more widespread and is expected to be more effective and efficient. The people who are reached are broader, the impact is more comprehensive as well. For da’wah activities to run effectively and efficiently, they must use strategic methods in conveying Islamic teachings. In addition, the challenges of da’wah in the era of technology and communication must be faced and responsible for Islam’s progress.
With the advancement of digital technology, Muslims in Indonesia play an essential role as the successors of the Wali Songo and spearheads in the development of da’wah to convey Islamic teachings and invite goodness and instil goodness.
It is hoped that the public can understand and study that Islamic teachings bring peace and tranquillity. There is no compulsion to embrace Islam, but with the awareness that grows within, the teachings of Islam will shape personality characters with polite attitudes and behaviour both personally and socially.
