The Problems of Digital Da’wah during the Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

. Currently the world is in crisis due to the emergence of Covid-19 and it has an impact on the lives of all sectors of people's lives. Da’wah is an urgent problem because it involves the human need for life motivation to increase individual religiosity as religious beings in the midst of life difficulties due to the impact of Covid-19. Da’wah always has opportunities and challenges in its implementation to determine plans and strategies. Da’wah is a need of everyone, especially Muslims, so that the preachers use various ways to convey the message of da’wah. In real life, the implementation of da’wah using online or digital media has been going on for a long time, but over time in Covid-19 the amount of use of digital media has become very dominant. Research on digital da’wah problems in the Covid-19 era, researchers used qualitative descriptive methods to collect problems in the application of digital da’wah in the Covid-19 period. The problem of digital da’wah includes several things, including the capacity and capability of preachers, the physical and social environment, the level of education, da’wah strategies, community responses, and da’wah media. Through this research, an important solution was found to solve the problem of digital da’wah in the Covid19 pandemic, namely digital training for preaching, preaching motivation, the use of multi-purpose da’wah, awareness of parents and educators to play a role in Islamic da’wah.
