Social media is not only used as a means of communication and information, but also as a means of da'wah.
Da'wah through social media is not just a trend.

In this digital era, da'wah is no longer limited to traditional methods such as lectures in mosques or religious study forums, but has also penetrated various digital platforms, enabling a wider audience reach across geographies and This shows that da'wah in the digital era is becoming increasingly relevant and strategic for effectively and efficiently spreading Islamic teachings.
The urgency of da'wah communication in the digital era is increasingly evident as people's information consumption patterns shift.
Most people now rely on the internet and social media to obtain information, including religious information.
this context, da'wah in the digital era is not only an opportunity but also a necessity for maintaining the continuity of delivering Islamic values relevant to the times.
Preachers in this era are required to have good digital literacy to be able to utilize digital media optimally without reducing the essence of the da'wah message itself, which is 11Aesthetic and educational.
In the Islamic tradition, da'wah kitabah has strong roots.
Previous scholars such as Imam Al-Ghazali.
Ibn Khaldun, and Ibn Taymiyah disseminated knowledge and da'wah through written works that are still referenced digitally in the Islamic world.
The digital era is an effort to eliminate barriers and distances between nations and cultures.
This allows everyone to become closer to global culture and the global market.
Digital Literacy Digital technology has spread to all levels of society, but most people are still unable to use it effectively.
Inappropriate use of digital technology can have detrimental effects on individual and social Well-being.
Therefore, digital literacy should be expanded to foster national character.
Historical and cultural context, sharing and creation, information and data, tools and systems are all dimensions of digital literacy.
Understanding these dimensions allows for expanded content and procedures for digital literacy learning, both inside and outside of school.

Social Media content in captions, infographics, and short-form writing also includes contemporary forms of book preaching that are effective at attracting the interest of the younger generation, namely Gen Z.
Values and Ethics in Da'wah Kitabah Good preaching writing must be based on sincerity, truth, and wisdom.
Ethics in preaching the Bible includes:
The truth of the content, namely ensuring that every writing is based on the evidence of the Qur'an, hadith, and valid scientific sources.

In the digital era, kitabah da'wah has transformed from print to online media.
Writing is no longer limited to books and magazines.
it has evolved into blog posts, e-books, and content on digital platforms.
Kitabah da'wah now competes with the flow of fast, visual, and concise information.
Therefore, writers of Islamic propagation need to master digital literacy so that their messages can compete and be well-received by modern society.

proclaimed wisely and sustainably.
Writings born from a sincere heart will penetrate the hearts of readers, even after the author has passed away.
In the context of digitalization, the da'wah of the kitabah must continue to be developed as part of a sustainable da'wah ecosystem, where the pen, screen, and word become the means to spread the blessings of Islam to all humanity.
The challenge of da'wah at the fingertips or bilkitabah in the digital era is the transformation of da'wah media and methods.
Research shows that da'wah media has shifted from conventional pulpits to interactive digital media.
Platforms such as YouTube.
Instagram.
TikTok, and podcasts have become new spaces for da'wah .
to convey Islamic messages.
Da'wah is no longer one-way but is now more participatory, communicative, and dialogue-based.
Gen Z generation as preachers Gen Z acts as a da'i using a visual communication approach and a light narrative that suits the characteristics of a young audience.
Da'wah content is presented in the form of short videos, infographics, quotes of wisdom, and live streaming of religious studies.
This phenomenon shows that Islamic da'wah has transformed into cross-platform communication, where religious messages are packaged creatively to remain attractive without compromising sharia values.
Gen Z is required to have digital literacy as a Da'wah Competency.
Another important finding shows that the success of digital da'wah is primarily determined by the level of digital literacy of the Gen Z generation as servants of Allah SWT, and realizing that the ability to understand communication ethics, social media algorithms, and content management is an important part of a modern da'wah strategy.
Gen Z preachers with high digital literacy can distinguish between authentic information and hoaxes, use polite language, and build a positive image of Islam Meanwhile, congregants with strong digital literacy are also more critical in Iskandar.

Thus, digital literacy serves as a moral and intellectual filter, keeping da'wah within the bounds of truth and wisdom.
Da'wah in the digital age is not only about spreading messages, but also about educating the public to be media-savvy and ethical in Islamic ways.
Opportunities and Challenges for Da'wah in the Digital Space.
The digital space offers vast opportunities for expanding the reach of da'wah.
The message of Islam can now reach audiences across regions and even countries.
This opens up opportunities for Islam to emerge as a religion of peace, openness, and relevance to the times.
However, on the other hand, the study also found several weaknesses as The rise of shallow and provocative religious content.
Lack of source verification.
Competition for popularity between digital preachers, as well as The challenge of maintaining manners and sincerity in preaching in virtual public spaces.
This phenomenon demonstrates that digital da'wah requires an ethical and targeted communication approach to prevent the Islamic message from being reduced to mere social media trends.
Therefore, increasing digital literacy must be accompanied by strengthening spirituality, social responsibility, and moral integrity among da'wah practitioners.

The transformation of da'wah into the digital space requires da'wah practitioners and the community to possess comprehensive digital literacy skills, encompassing technical, critical, ethical, and spiritual skills.
