“…This remuneration is typically paid to persons in charge of institutions or mosques. 67 The above conditions echo the result that Salafis development cannot be separated from the support of Middle Eastern institutions, donors, and foundations, such as Rabitah al-Alam Islami. 68 Moreover, the International Islamic Relief Organization (IIRO) has contributed.…”

The Salafi movement is a transnational Islamic group that uses mosques to mobilize its followers and promote its ideological framing. The differences in understanding and practicing religious rituals and worship between the Salafi and mainstream Islamic organizations, such as Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Nahdlatul Wathan (NW), have triggered tensions and social conflicts during the construction of new Salafi mosques. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze how Salafi strengthened its existence amid the conflicts by disseminating its ideological framing through the new mosque on the Island of Lombok, Indonesia. Based on the theory of social movement as the cognitive framework, this study also argued that although the ideological framing propagated by Salafi through its mosques fueled social conflicts, it became the strategy for bargaining position amid the mainstream Muslims in Lombok. The emergence of the conflicts was used as the reason for the Salafi group to build new mosques or seize control of pre-existing mosques. This condition did not undermine Salafi as a minority and a new emerging Islamic group. Instead, it empowers the bargaining position of the transnational Islamic group in its own right. For Salafi, owning and controlling the holy places is the opportunity to mobilize collective actions and its social proponents to disseminate the Manhaj Salaf ideology. In conclusion, this study contributed to explicating the dynamics of local Salafi in the discourses of the contemporary global Islamic movement.

“…These facts show that NU, a religious group whose understanding has taken root in society is slowly being challenged by the Salafi group. 53 Third, among all Salafi and NU channels, Yufid TV is the channel with the most videos and viewers. This shows the interrelated growth of production and consumption.…”

Abstract: This research spotlights YouTube’s utilization as a platform for intriguing Muslims and proselytizing Salafi and Nahdhatul 'Ulama's (NU) doctrines in the context of ideological contestation in Indonesia. This aim was motivated by the struggle for religious authority between NU and Salafis that has occurred in Indonesia since the beginning of the emergence of Salafis in the 1970s. The doctrine of Puritanism brought by Salafis is the key to the ideological battle with NU, which has the opposite doctrine. Thus, the contestation spread to the fight for the masses. One medium used as an object for spreading doctrine is YouTube. This use of YouTube is encouraged by their awareness that YouTube is an effective platform for proselytizing and arguing with each other. Therefore, this research explores the ideological contestation of the two groups from the aspect of the doctrine they spread and the ways they attract the masses by analyzing lecture videos from YouTube channels affiliated with each group. Based on the content and video quantity, this research argues that the massive method of being charged with Salafis is slowly becoming a strong challenge for the existence of NU. The method used is a theory by Heidi A. Campbell regarding online authority.Keywords: Ideological Contestation, Nahdhatul ‘Ulama, Religious Authority, Salafi, YouTube. Abstrak: Penelitian ini menyoroti penggunaan YouTube sebagai platform untuk membangkitkan minat umat Islam dan menyebarkan doktrin Salafi dan Nahdhatul 'Ulama (NU) dalam konteks kontestasi ideologi di Indonesia. Tujuan ini dilatarbelakangi oleh perebutan otoritas keagamaan antara NU dan Salafi yang terjadi di Indonesia sejak awal kemunculan Salafi pada tahun 1970-an. Doktrin puritanisme yang dibawa oleh Salafi menjadi kunci pertarungan ideologis dengan NU yang memiliki doktrin sebaliknya. Dengan demikian, kontestasi menyebar dalam konteks perebutan massa. Salah satu media yang digunakan sebagai sarana penyebaran doktrin adalah YouTube. Penggunaan YouTube ini didorong oleh kesadaran mereka bahwa YouTube adalah platform yang efektif untuk berdakwah dan saling berdebat. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi kontestasi ideologi kedua kelompok tersebut dari aspek doktrin yang mereka sebarkan dan bagaimana menarik massa dengan menganalisis video ceramah dari video YouTube yang berafiliasi dengan masing-masing kelompok. Berdasarkan kuantitas konten dan video, penelitian ini berargumen bahwa metode masif yang digunakan oleh Salafi perlahan menjadi tantangan kuat bagi eksistensi NU. Metode yang digunakan adalah teori Heidi A. Campbell mengenai otoritas online.Kata Kunci: Kontestasi Ideologi, Nahdhatul ‘Ulama, Otoritas Keagamaan, Salafi, YouTube
