Empowering Mosque Youth: Digital Da'wah Content Creation for Islamic Propagation During Ramadan

Abstract

Ramadan represents a strategic period for strengthening Islamic propagation through community-based activities; however, many mosque youth organizations still face limitations in producing creative and high-quality digital religious content. At Nurul Ikhlas Mosque, youth members frequently consume social media but lack the technical competencies required to transform digital platforms into effective tools for Islamic da'wah. This community service program aimed to empower mosque youth by developing their skills in digital da'wah content creation during Ramadan. The program was implemented using an Asset-Based Community Development approach through participatory workshops and mentoring sessions involving members of the Nurul Ikhlas Mosque youth organization. Training activities focused on digital copywriting, graphic design, video editing, and social media management for Islamic communication. The results demonstrated significant improvements in participants’ digital literacy and creative competencies, as reflected in the production of more than thirty digital da'wah contents distributed through social media platforms. In addition, the program strengthened youth participation in mosque activities and encouraged collaborative learning within the community. The initiative concluded with the establishment of a youth-led digital media team to sustain content production beyond the program period. Overall, the program contributed to strengthening community empowerment by enabling mosque youth to become active agents of moderate Islamic propagation in the digital era
