Role of Social Media in Da'wah and Teaching Activities at Insan Mulia Boarding School Pringsewu
In the contemporary era, marked by rapid technological advancements and digital disruption, educational institutions such as Islamic boarding schools (pondok pesantren) face unique challenges and opportunities. Social media has emerged as a highly influential platform for disseminating da’wah messages, building religious communities, and enhancing educational activities. This study identifies several challenges associated with the use of social media in da’wah and teaching activities at pondok pesantren. This research is a field study, employing a descriptive approach through qualitative methods, focusing on data derived from observations and interviews. The data sources include the leadership of the pondok pesantren, teachers (ustadz), and students. The study aims to provide a clear depiction of the field situation and analyze it. The findings reveal that social media serves as a crucial medium for expanding the reach of da’wah activities, allowing for broader audience engagement and more interactive religious discussions. In the educational domain, social media facilitates innovative teaching methods, supports remote learning, and promotes a collaborative learning environment. As a result, pondok pesantren can disseminate information about religious activities, such as sermons, religious studies, and other events. While social media offers significant opportunities to enhance da’wah and teaching activities, careful implementation is necessary to maximize its benefits and mitigate potential drawbacks
Transformation Of Gender Equality Preaching in the Digital Era
Da’wah is a strategic way to improve the condition of a society. Today, da’wah is not only done conservatively and classically such as through lectures in an assembly, but can also be done anywhere and anytime through social media. Mubdalah.id uses the website as a means of da’wah to convey the message of gender equality. Given that women’s issues always receive attention from various media, various perspectives are used to study gender equality, one of which is the perspective of religion, especially Islam. This is a literature research with a qualitative approach. The data collection technique used is the documentation method, while the data analysis technique used is descriptive. The results of this study indicate that da’wah delivered through the mubadalah.id website is an innovation that follows the times. The goal is that the da’wah delivered is more easily accepted by the audience and remains relevant. This study concludes that da’wah through the mubadalah.id website is an adaptation that is relevant to the times, in line with the concept of da’wah transformation in the digital era. The topics delivered are also relevant to the needs of the community, which helps maintain the existence of the website among other platforms that carry the theme of gender equality
Use of TikTok and its Effect on the Religious Behavior of Muslim Adolescents
This research aims to analyze the effect of the use of TikTok on religious behavior of Islamic youth in Gunung Tiga Village, Ulubelu sub district, Tanggamus district. The use of TikTok applications can have an impact whether it is the positive or negative impact. Because content is found in the application other than useful entertainment content.

Because usually a TikTok user entertains himself by making a video that’s dancing and then uploads to its account and is seen by various TikTok users. Of course this shows a moral decline in religion. If the content is witnessed and imitated by teenagers then it will bring a negative influence to the teenager

Review of E-government Policy as the Foundation for Smart City Transformation in Indonesia: Opportunities and Challenges
Since the issuance of Presidential Instruction No. 3 of 2003 on the National Policy and Strategy for E-Government Development, Indonesia has progressively integrated information technology into its governance structures. This study aims to identify the challenges that hinder this transformation and to propose strategies that can enhance public service delivery, promote transparency, and support economic growth, thereby strengthening national competitiveness. The adoption of e-government and the smart city concept are critical technological instruments for improving public service delivery, necessitating adequate regulation. This study reviews the current state of e-government in Indonesia, identifies challenges to its implementation, and proposes strategies for transforming traditional governance into digital governance as part of the smart city transformation. Key challenges include the slow adoption of technological changes, the digital divide, a lack of data integration, inadequate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) competence, and regulatory gaps. By addressing these challenges, through enhancing public service delivery, promoting transparency, facilitating economic growth, supporting smart city development, and strengthening national competitiveness, Indonesia can improve the effectiveness of e-government and implement a digitally empowered government. The findings provide insights for policymakers and contribute to strategies for optimizing e-government to support smart city initiatives in Indonesia

Optimising the Role of Villages as Pillars of Empowerment and Protection for Women Migrant Workers
This research aims to find out how the village’s role in the protection of women migrant workers through collaborative efforts that have been carried out so far. This research is a qualitative study through a systematic literature review approach. The results of this study show that the non-optimal involvement of villages, especially in the governance of safe migration, has resulted in the increasing threat of women workers. The inability of the village to help provide socialization related to safe migration, and the absence of village regulations governing the protection of women workers makes it more difficult for victims’ families to make complaints. The weakness of village databases related to data on migrant workers originating from their area also results in the absence of accurate data related to migrant workers. A Migrant Worker Protection Task Force involving former migrant workers needs to be created as an active step in protecting women migrant workers. This research recommends the massive involvement of villages, especially in socialization, protection and the preparation of migrant worker databases in their respective villages
Exploring the Moderating Role of Religiosity in Shaping Non-Muslims' Attitudes Toward Halal-certified Food in Indonesia
Over the past five years, the Indonesian government has implemented various halal initiatives, including halal certification for food products, aimed at meeting the needs of Muslim consumers. However, the acceptance and attitudes of non-Muslims toward halal-certified food remain unclear. This study seeks to examine the influence of halal knowledge, interaction with Muslims, and religiosity on non-Muslims’ attitudes toward halal-certified food. Additionally, it evaluates the moderating role of religiosity in the proposed model. The study employs Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) to test the hypotheses empirically. The results reveal that both halal knowledge and interaction with Muslims have a significant and positive impact on non-Muslims’ attitudes toward halal-certified food in Indonesia. Conversely, religiosity does not play a significant role, either as a direct predictor or as a moderating variable. In other words, religiosity does not influence non-Muslims’ attitudes toward halal-certified food in Indonesian context. These findings suggest that businesses need not fear losing non-Muslim customers when labeling their products with halal certification, as non-Muslims in Indonesia generally hold a relatively positive attitude toward such products
