Utilization of Information and Technology in the Development of Da’wah in the Era of Society ‎‎5.0‎

Abstract

The Society 5.0 era is the development of civilization in which humans can not only interact through one dimension of space and time, but humans interact between physical space and cyberspace (virtual) in dimensions of space and time that may be different. The development of technology and information in the Age of Society 5.0 can be utilized as a medium for developing da'wah through social media networks and the internet. On the other hand, this also supports the use of positive communication and cuts costs and time in connecting with a wider audience in conveying religious, educational, and human moral values. The da'wah strategy in the Era of Society 5.0 is very effective in reaching all elements of society, from the elderly to the millennial generation who make extensive use of technology and information. This research focuses on two problems, namely; 1) Is technology and information in the Era of Society 5.0 useful for the development of da’wah? 2) What is the strategy for utilizing Technology and Information in developing da'wah in the Society 5.0 Era?. This research is a type of qualitative library research, with a phenomenological and descriptive analysis approach to obtain answers to the use of technology and information in the development of da'wah in the Era of Society 5.0. The benefits of technology and information in the Age of Society 5.0 are useful in developing da'wah, especially in disseminating religious values and branding a preacher on the virtual world stage. The use of these media must of course also be balanced with digital skills, delivery methods, as well as reliable referrals or references, so that they can provide quality da'wah presentations.‎
