“…Through Twitter and other social media applications, Ilhan gained access to broader religious conversations (Lövheim, 2013) about topics of personal importance (Lam and Smirnov, 2017). She engaged in debates about the hijab and potential reasons behind the “Muslim Ban” to dialog and exchange ideas with classmates and online actors including those who held different interpretations (Díez Bosch et al , 2017). In many instances, Ilhan engaged counter-storytelling to reframe negative media messages about Islam (Campbell and Evolvi, 2019; El-Haj and Bonet, 2011).…”

“…By accessing multiple perspectives, immigrant youth may speak back to marginalized discourses made about their religious identification (Deroo and Mohamud, 2022). Existing research has examined religion and social media for interreligious dialog (Díez Bosch et al , 2017; McClure, 2016) and investigated media literacies across race, languages and religion (Campbell and Evolvi, 2019); however, this work has been less advanced through a critical perspective with attention to intersecting identifications. Therefore, we turn to critical scholars in the field of literacy education centering the reading of both the word and the world (Freire and Macedo, 2005).…”

“…Specifically, through social media sites like Twitter, Ilhan was able to enact an identity connected to her beliefs and ideologies as she interacted with peers holding similar interests (Lövheim, 2013), and with those who shared opposing viewpoints. For example, scholarship has shown social media provides space for youth identity construction based on dialog with peers from different religious traditions or positions (Díez Bosch et al , 2017).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine how a transnational immigrant youth’s engagement on social media supported her identity formation and allowed space to advance more just framing of Islam across school and online communities. Design/methodology/approach This qualitative study draws on data collected across two years, including interviews, classroom observations and social media posts. Using digital religion and counterstorying as a constructive theoretical frame, the authors asked: What was the role of social media in supporting a transnational immigrant youth’s critical media literacy practices within and beyond school. How, if at all, did these practices shift over time? Findings Findings highlight how I. Mohamud used social media in support of her identity development as a female, Muslim youth in a political climate antithetical to such liberation and how through an online community she engaged in counter stories to negative framing of Islam. Originality/value Our collaborative writing answers Lam and Warriner’s (2012) call for research exploring how individuals from migrant backgrounds interact with “diverse media representations and mobilize different interpretive frames for understanding societal events and personal experiences” (p. 207). Moreover, this study further answers El-Haj and Bonet (2012) call for research investigating “ways that youth inhabit particular identities in specific contexts and interactions and across time” (p. 41).

“…First, consumer research can explore how age and gender are being negatively shaped by digital spiritual consumption. Younger generations that are more culturally embedded in the digital (Bosch et al, 2017) are witnessing alarming movements such as "jihadi brides" in Europe or "love jihad" in India, which is an Islamophobic conspiracy theory developed by Hindus, claiming Muslim men target Hindu women to convert them to Islam (Gupta, 2009). Therefore, how does the digital shape adolescents' spiritual beliefs?…”

“…They consistently educate the public to get closer to the values of religious teachings. The comparison of his subscribers on his YouTube channel until 2021 can be seen as follows: The statistical data above certainly provides the potential for a new transformation of new religious authority in the contemporary dimension based on individual public figures rather than institutions (Burhanudin, 2014;Díez Bosch et al, 2017;Possamai, 2012;Radde-Antweiler, 2018). The popular preachers who can attract the congregation in massive numbers are called da'i idols.…”

This study aims to track the phenomenon of da'i (Muslim Preachers) idols among the millennial generation and its impact on the dynamics of accepting contemporary fatwas and the constellation of leader elections in Indonesia. The da'wah transformation from traditional methods to digital media is increasingly adding to the dynamics of changing the youth's perspective in responding to life's problems, such as religious fatwas and political constellations. This study uses mixed methods research. The data collection technique used google Forms by taking 95 respondents, and semi-structured interviews with five informants using random sampling with the criteria enjoy listening to digital da'wah. Data analysis applies the theory of Miles and Huberman with the following steps: data collection, data display, data reduction, and conclusion. The research results show several essential points, including; 1) There is an urgency in the need for da'wah studies in filling the pressure of problems faced by the millennial generation, 2) Communication style and material substance are more important than the intellectuality of a preacher, 3) In the context of certain fatwas, the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) is preferred to be used as a reference from their da'i idol, 4) In the context of choosing a leader, they prefer individual ijtihad to a public figure or institutional ijtihad, 5) Digital da'wah contributes significantly to character strengthening, 6) Da'wah themes vary according to the needs of listeners, and 7) characteristics of da'i idol including polite, wise, humble, broad-minded, moderate, good communication, akhlakul karimah
