Pandemic COVID-19 has hit many countries in the world including Indonesia since the beginning of 2020. Since then, many activities have changed because there are several restrictions imposed by the government in order to minimize the spread of such virus. The Indonesian government has issued some regulations on how people should behave during this pandemic time; this includes regulations on the religious life. In addition, the Indonesian Ulama Council has produced several fatwa on how Moslem community should practice their prayer in the mosque and conduct Islamic teaching. Due to these matters, many face-to-face (offline) Islamic teachings have been postponed, and then some of them used online media to deliver Islamic teaching. Data were collected using interviews, observation, and analysis of online media content. This research was conducted in Yogyakarta Province at the end of 2020. Subjects of this research consist of two Islamic organizations namely Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah, majelis taklim (Islamic teaching assemblies), and individual preachers affiliated with the office of religious affairs. Findings of this study show that some of those institutions and individual preachers have used digital media for da’wah before the pandemic COVID-19 and continued it during the pandemic COVID-19. Meanwhile, several of them have not used digital media before, and the pandemic drives them to use it. Those people and institutions use social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp group, Google meet, and Zoom meeting. The use of these media platforms becomes a bridge to transmit Islamic message and to communicate between preachers and audiences. However, the use of this digital media has faced several challenges, such as the lack of skill in digital technology including the ability to produce and upload content on the social media platform, and the readiness of jamaah (audiences) to access Islamic teaching through digital platform.

摘要

Pandemic COVID-19 has hit many countries in the world including Indonesia since the beginning of 2020. Since then, many activities have changed because there are several restrictions imposed by the government in order to minimize the spread of such virus. The Indonesian government has issued some regulations on how people should behave during this pandemic time; this includes regulations on the religious life. In addition, the Indonesian Ulama Council has produced several fatwa on how Moslem community should practice their prayer in the mosque and conduct Islamic teaching. Due to these matters, many face-to-face (offline) Islamic teachings have been postponed, and then some of them used online media to deliver Islamic teaching. Data were collected using interviews, observation, and analysis of online media content. This research was conducted in Yogyakarta Province at the end of 2020. Subjects of this research consist of two Islamic organizations namely Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah, majelis taklim (Islamic teaching assemblies), and individual preachers affiliated with the office of religious affairs. Findings of this study show that some of those institutions and individual preachers have used digital media for da’wah before the pandemic COVID-19 and continued it during the pandemic COVID-19. Meanwhile, several of them have not used digital media before, and the pandemic drives them to use it. Those people and institutions use social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp group, Google meet, and Zoom meeting. The use of these media platforms becomes a bridge to transmit Islamic message and to communicate between preachers and audiences. However, the use of this digital media has faced several challenges, such as the lack of skill in digital technology including the ability to produce and upload content on the social media platform, and the readiness of jamaah (audiences) to access Islamic teaching through digital platform.
