For instance, even during the COVID-19 pandemic, da’wah can continue by leveraging advancements in information technology. We can produce engaging da’wah content using these technologies—through newspapers, magazines, social media, film, television, radio, and journals dedicated to religious topics.
Various electronic devices, such as smartphones, also offer a range of apps that can facilitate da’wah. Da’wah material can be created in diverse formats and shared across various media platforms, reaching a broader audience.
Why is adapting our da’wah methods so crucial? On one hand, technological progress has made dissemination of information easier than ever. On the other, it has influenced societal values and behaviors, as scientific and technological advancements gradually reshape cultural norms—sometimes leading to the abandonment of older traditions.
Modern communication technology has accelerated the globalization of information. Consequently, we must be prepared to engage with a constant flow of information across all fields. This information—whether through print or electronic media—now transcends limitations of distance, space, and time.
Given the broad impact of mass media, it becomes clear that we should harness it thoughtfully. Media content should ultimately reflect and support the needs of a society that shares common social values.
