ABSTRACT  
The COVID-19 pandemic, moral crises, and recurring natural disasters have significantly challenged  
traditional da’wah practices worldwide. Restrictions on physical gatherings and shifts in public communication  
behaviour have accelerated the adoption of digital and interactive platforms. As a result, the integration of  
Islamic preaching with information and communication technology (ICT) has become a crucial mechanism for  
ensuring the continuity and effectiveness of da’wah activities during times of crisis. This study employs a  
qualitative content analysis of 45 scholarly works published between 2020 and 2024, drawn from the Google  
Scholar database and supported by selected grey literature from institutional reports, NGO publications, and  
online sermons. Using the key terms “interactive,” “da’wah,” and “crisis,” the analysis examines emerging  
trends, implementation models, and the da’wah significance of digital media during critical periods such as the  
COVID-19 pandemic, moral decline, and flood disasters. The results demonstrate that interactive da’wah  
characterized by two-way communication, multimedia engagement, and accessibility has reshaped Islamic  
preaching into a participatory and resilient practice. Platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook  
Live, and Zoom have facilitated dynamic dissemination of religious messages, moral guidance, and  
psychological support. Case examples from Malaysia and Indonesia show that online mosque initiatives,  
digital humanitarian da’wah, and youth-oriented social media campaigns strengthened faith, social solidarity,  
and emotional resilience during crises. Interactive da’wah mediums, when guided by maqasid shariah and  
ethical communication principles, enhance inclusivity, adaptability, and spiritual sustainability. The study  
proposes that integrating ICT-driven approaches with traditional da’wah will enable Muslim communities and  
institutions to remain crisis-ready while fostering meaningful engagement in the digital age.

INTRODUCTION  
Humans are social creatures that progress concurrently with the passing of time. Generally, four substantial  
factors drive social change within a community: the innovation (renewal) process, the discovery of recent  
Page 8652  
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH AND INNOVATION IN SOCIAL SCIENCE (IJRISS)  
ISSN No. 2454-6186 | DOI: 10.47772/IJRISS | Volume IX Issue X October 2025  
advances in technology, cultural integration from other communities, and the adoption of the latest  
technologies (Amran, 2012). Rural locations endure slower social development, whereas urban regions  
undergo greater and more accelerated transitions. Thus, Islamic preachers should use both circumstances to  
successfully impart Islamic teachings to their intended audience over time. The da'wah status at present  
dictates that modern-day preachers ought to be more creative and innovative, leveraging their full array of  
skills and facilitated by technology, ensuring that their message is readily accepted, particularly by today's  
digital generation. This indicates that da'wah needs to extend beyond traditional methods involving institutions  
such as mosques and mushollas to expand via modern ICT media.  
Today's worldwide da’wah displays a variety of obstacles amidst crises, notably considering the COVID-19  
epidemic and massive flooding that are engulfing countries across the globe. These circumstances have had a  
tremendous impact on the Muslim community globally, as they led to the implementation of standard operating  
procedures (SOPs) that curtail religious engagement and limit the number of congregants authorized to engage  
in worship and da'wah. Nevertheless, these adjustments must be accepted and enacted thoroughly with the  
intent of safeguarding lives and health in accordance with the goals of maqasid shariah, which has emerged as  
the new norm. Sahid et al. (2020) state that Muslims are required to navigate the changes that arise from the  
COVID-19 outbreak by complying with new standards that are consistent with the fundamental sources of  
Islamic teachings, primarily the Qur'an and Sunnah. This approach promotes a secured, healthy, harmonious  
household, enabling the execution of obligations in Islam regardless of the catastrophes encountered.  
Additionally, mosques and mushollas, as primary hubs of Islamic da'wah, are now not considered youth  
friendly, as their programs are mostly geared toward the elderly and retirees. Ibrahim et al. (2020) proposed  
that administrators of mosque and mushollas be obliged to devise more creative and inventive means to entice  
adolescents into various religious and da'wah events, including congregational worship. Contemporary  
programs appropriate for young people should be increased as well as tailored to their age and needs, backed  
by ICT to progressively boost the momentum of mosque and mushollas engagement.  
Therefore, da'wah operations must be coordinated with present-world events to ensure that crises do not  
impede progress. This can be realized by adapting and integrating da'wah with new aspects such as ICT to  
correspond with the industry 4.0 to foster a morally upright society within the framework of science and  
technology. This method complies with the goals of the 5.0 Industrial Revolution (humanmachine  
collaboration), defined as 'human intelligence works' (Fukuyama, 2018).  
LITERATURE REVIEW  
The Significance of Da’wah Amidst Catastrophes  
Catastrophes are disasters, mishaps, or tragedies ordained by Allah SWT, either as a test, expiation of sins,  
reprisal, or as treatment given to mankind. This is affirmed by Zulfa and Afroni (2022), who claim that the  
calamities in the Quran can be taken as tests for the steadfast, warnings or reminders to all humanity,  
punishments for sinners, and manifestations of Allah's affection to believers. Based on Hamandia and Razzaq  
(2022), calamities are characterized as follows:  
1. Calamities Impacting Objects: These can affect people, belongings, and family members, with disasters  
affecting the soul, such as death, being the most devastating form.  
2. Calamities Induced by Human Action: These incorporate both secular and spiritual elements. Diseases, the  
passing of close relatives, and the loss of assets are instances of worldly disasters; however, religious  
calamities are related to people who have not lived virtuously and lack righteous deeds.  
3. Calamities with Specific Purposes: These embody disasters that Allah SWT has designated as trials for  
Muslims, general calamities that operate as warnings to mankind, calamities that serve as Allah SWT's  
retribution for transgressions, and calamities that reflect Allah SWT's compassion to the faithful.  
From an anthropological standpoint, catastrophes seen through the prism of crises, according to Jalal (2021),  
correspond to occasions in which people endure adversities in their lives and strive to cope by coming up with  
an assortment of rituals, also referred to as rites of passage, to address their crises. Disaster victims ought to  
seek solace and be made aware of Allah SWT's revelations, notably the Quran and the Sunnah, and should  
Page 8653  
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH AND INNOVATION IN SOCIAL SCIENCE (IJRISS)  
ISSN No. 2454-6186 | DOI: 10.47772/IJRISS | Volume IX Issue X October 2025  
steadfastly accept His decree while relentlessly striving for a deeper bond with Him. For those who concede  
Allah's will, engage in muhasabah (self-reflection regularly), and tawakal (utterly rely) upon the Creator, this is  
sunnatullah, a test and hidden mercy of Allah SWT (Mohd Zaini & Lubis, 2022). In accordance with Zunnabli  
et al. (2023), to improve the resilience of disaster victims, da'wah practitioners need to provide guidance,  
inspiration, and realistic action plans grounded in Islamic principles. Consequently, da'wah operates as a means  
of healing, transition, and advancement to a greater state through the effective realization of its goals related to  
the community's welfare. As indicated by Wihartati (2014), Islamic Irsyad (guidance) and Islamic Tathwir  
(motivation) can be utilized to assist disaster victims via techniques such as Mau'izah al-Hasanah (good  
advice), da'wah bil Mal (properties), da'wah bil Hal (actions), and collective efforts. Mohd Noor and Mohd  
Noor (2021) attest that these da'wah techniques adhere to the tenets of dharuriyat maqasid syariah, which  
encompass safeguarding religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property.  
Similarly, Mutmainnah (2014) claims that da'wah is essential for resolving today's contemporary social crises.  
Social issues can occur, as humans are social beings who are interconnected with other humans and life forms.  
Thus far, these societal difficulties can be remedied by complying with Islamic principles and ensuring a  
tranquil, harmonious, and secure society through Islamic teachings based on akidah (faith), syariah (Islamic  
law), and akhlaq (morality). Social disputes are frequently triggered by issues with women, the economy,  
politics, social dynamics, and culture. Human desire for power, ego, lack of integrity, and other mazmumah  
(detrimental qualities) that may prove destructive to society are the primary drivers of these disputes. Through  
its revelations, Islam offers solutions to social issues by emphasizing preventative measures based on moral  
and ethical precepts of the belief system, which operate as an all-encompassing guide for humanity.  
Catastrophes afflicting mankind may be classified as moral crises, especially in Islam, where the establishment  
of a just and civilized society is given prominence by nahi mungkar (the prohibition of wrongdoing) and amar  
ma'ruf (the encouragement of good deeds).  
Malaysia has encountered catastrophes such as the COVID-19 epidemic and flooding over the preceding five  
years, in addition to societal challenges within the community. Both disasters brought about a halt in Islamic  
da'wah activities as an aftermath of preventive and control measures, which involves the closure of Islamic  
da'wah institutions that include mosques, prayer halls, and face-to-face religious classes, collectively referred  
to as conventional da'wah (Baidowi & Salehudin, 2021). As such, these impediments and restrictions to da'wah  
must be overcome to secure its continuation regardless of the face of crisis. Rohman and Faristiana (2021)  
contend that a feasible plan for da'wah amid the COVID-19 pandemic is to capitalize on digital technology and  
ICT, leveraging mass media and social media as new platforms for da'wah while establishing social networks  
across the community at large. This method is backed by Sainuddin (2020) and Huseng (2020), who  
acknowledge that digital or virtual data may further foster public understanding of Islamic teachings in the  
contemporary context of the COVID-19 outbreak. Zunnabli et al. (2023) also claim that flooding disasters  
necessitate practitioners to be more creative and innovative in varying da'wah techniques. This is crucial for  
making certain da'wah persist amid the flood, imparting Islamic guidance to the populace and overcoming  
social challenges.  
Interactive Da’wah Medium  
Da'wah medium, also known as wasilah, is a vital aspect of Islamic da'wah, acting as an outlet for relaying  
da'wah to the community. As indicated by Zakariya and Mohamad (2013), the roles of da'wah mediums entail  
circulating Islam and setting forth the truth to the public, defending against concerns related to Muslim life,  
utilizing wise strategies to accomplish efficient discourse, executing psychological warfare against Islam's  
adversaries, and countering foreign propaganda aimed at safeguarding Islam from fraudulent threats.  
Aminuddin (2018) divided da'wah media into two primary groups: mass media and non-mass media.  
Newspapers, radio, television, and films are instances of mass media that people use daily, whereas non-mass  
media includes letters, telephone, SMS, fax, CDs, emails, and other channels of communication. Furthermore,  
owing to their nature, da'wah media are classified into two categories: conventional da'wah media and modern  
or new da'wah media.  
Modern technology, backed by ICT, rapidly transformed the medium of da'wah to a more dynamic digital  
da'wah, distinguished by speed, effectiveness, and ease of access. Given the availability of the internet, da'wah  
Page 8654

ISSN No. 2454-6186 | DOI: 10.47772/IJRISS | Volume IX Issue X October 2025  
material is now readily available for its intended audience online, coinciding with the criteria of present-day  
digital society, whose existence is highly dependent on gadgets. According to Mardiana (2020), contemporary  
da'wah spans transcend traditional preaching; the millennial generation allows most digital media to convey  
more interactive, efficient, and potent delivery. Mad’u (audiences) are growing keen to listen to lectures and  
messages of da'wah both offline and online, notably via social media platforms such as YouTube, Instagram,  
Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp. The existing da'wah material that is in textual form, such as vlogs,  
infographics, videos, and posters, needs to be revised and enhanced on a regular basis by cutting-edge  
interactive technology. This ongoing enhancement is key to maintaining the mad’u's interest and leaving a  
greater impression than before.  
Contemporary da'wah practitioners play an integral role in ensuring that Islamic teachings are delivered  
through authentic sources, correspond with present trends, are contextually appropriate, and ultimately have a  
positive effect, either through face‒to-face interactions or social media platforms. Zafri et al. (2023a) state that  
an interactive approach is imperative for Sharia-compliant interactive platforms delivered via social media,  
which are susceptible to gaining public trust in obtaining religious knowledge. Nonetheless, this method  
should be applied appropriately, addressing blatant violations while not attempting to disclose or humiliate  
related individuals. Moreover, when presenting criticism, practitioners must ensure that their input is  
constructive, positive, and not libelous or berating, as this could give rise to societal conflicts. It is akin to the  
views of Efendi et al. (2024), who urge that da'wah practitioners exercise prudence while maximizing the  
implementation of interactive da'wah media to be certain that the material is suitable and well received by the  
public at large.  
Interactive da'wah platforms are gaining traction as the most popular way for the public to enhance their grasp  
of Islamic knowledge because they are creative, concise, engaging, and easily comprehensible da'wah  
materials (Mohamed Mokhtar and Hassan, 2021). Zafri et al. (2023b) also state that interactive approaches  
grounded in social media can pique the interest of adolescents in Islamic teachings by means of a variety of  
approaches, including interactive approaches, cultural approaches, psychological approaches, discussions and  
question-and-answer formats, together with guidance paired with positive personal traits. Moreover, interactive  
da'wah mediums operate in two ways, enabling da'is (practitioners) to interact directly with their mad'u via  
online platforms (Anas et al., 2023). The increasing prominence of interactive platforms includes traditional  
media such as radio and new media, primarily social media platforms consisting of YouTube, Twitter, live  
streaming, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, websites, and infographics. Hence, the concept of interactive da'wah  
media signifies the incorporation of new media, particularly da'wah via social media, which is in accordance  
with current trends and popular preferences. Regardless, conventional Da'wah outlets must not be overlooked  
since they still have an audience within particular age brackets. Additionally, contemporary da'wah  
practitioners must demonstrate both religious knowledge and ICT skills to increase the efficiency of da'wah  
mediums and draw a larger number of mad'u to the study of Islam.  
METHODS  
This study adopts a content analysis approach to examine scholarly materials from the Google Scholar  
database from 2020--2024, utilizing three central keywords: 'interactive', 'da'wah', and 'crisis'. Table 1 below  
organizes all these materials by year along with the author and includes additional details such as the study title  
and a summary of the findings. The study's findings strive to identify research gaps, laying the groundwork for  
future research by the author and other scholars keen on investigating interactive da'wah mediums amidst  
crises. The inclusion criterion for this study was scholarly materials published between 2020 and 2024, sourced  
specifically from the Google Scholar database. Each selected work had to feature at least two of the following  
keywords “interactive,” “da’wah,” and “crisis” within the title, abstract, or keywords section. To ensure  
relevance, the materials needed to address interactive or digital da’wah practices in the context of specific  
crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, moral or ethical dilemmas, or natural disasters such as floods, are  
needed. Only peer-reviewed journal articles, academic conference papers, or published theses written in  
English or Malay/Indonesia were considered. Conversely, the exclusion criteria eliminated nonacademic  
sources such as news articles, blogs, and opinion pieces, as well as studies unrelated to crises or digital  
dawahs. Articles focused solely on traditional da’wah methods or those lacking sufficient academic metadata

(e.g., author name, abstract) were also excluded. Additionally, duplicate studies were filtered out, with a  
preference given to the most complete and authoritative version.  
Grey literature is carefully interwoven with peer-reviewed sources from academia to strengthen the research's  
comprehensiveness and contextual significance. It refers to unpublished or independently published works  
pertaining to Islamic da'wah amid instances of turmoil, government reports, NGO publications, institutional  
regulations, press announcements, online sermons, and electronic archives. This integration enables the study  
to capitalize on real-world applications, novel advances, and policy-level solutions that tend to be absent from  
scholarly databases. Selective extraction from official websites and institutional repositories, such as the  
Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM), State Islamic Religious Departments (JAIS, JAINJ,  
JAHEAIK), the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA), and reputable Islamic NGOs like Islamic  
Relief Malaysia, Yayasan Ikhlas, and Mercy Malaysia, forms a component of the search approach to obtain  
grey literature. Meanwhile, interactive da'wah programs, livestreams, and online sermons carried out  
throughout pressing catastrophes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and flood disasters from 2020 to 2024, are  
tracked through an analysis of digital content sites (including YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok). To track  
organizational positions on digital da'wah governance, related policy reports and think-tank publications (such  
as those from IKIM, IRF, and IIUM Policy Brief Series) are explored as well.  
FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION  
A search in the Google Scholar database generated 2,394 scholarly materials. Nevertheless, examination  
revealed that only 45 resources were relevant to the research scope, comprising 38 journal/proceedings articles,  
5 master's theses, and 2 books. The publication allocation by year is as follows: 3 (2024), 11 (2023), 11 (2022),  
16 (2021) and 4 (2020). Many academic publications were released between 2021 and 2022, with an emphasis  
on da'wah during crises or the COVID-19 epidemic, followed by research into moral crises and flooding.

Multidisiplin  
Pandemic COVID 19 Mengembalikan The COVID-19 epidemic has forced a shift to  
Pendidikan dalam Keluarga  
online education, particularly in the field of  
Islamic instruction.  
Based on Table 1, the researcher divides earlier studies on interactions amidst catastrophes into three main  
scopes: the COVID-19 pandemic, moral problems, and flood disasters. In general, digital digital innovations  
are seen as efficient instruments for dealing with national dilemmas, such as economic struggles and other  
crises (Bakharudin, 2024). In accordance with Sukayat (2023), social media-based da'wah demands an  
awareness of the audience's (mad'u) states of affairs, whether they happen to be in a position of comfort or  
distress, to successfully convey integral information to the wider community. Furthermore, da'wah websites  
endowed with the core values of Islamic teachings, such as aqeedah (faith), sharia (Islamic law), and akhlaq  
(morality), can serve as key reminders in times of illness, calamity, or another affliction that Allah SWT  
opposes (Najikh, 2022). Wibowo and Syaifullo (2021) further noted that syair gulung serves as a delicate  
means of communication in da'wah, minimizing the likelihood of offense regardless of whether the message  
contains criticism or protest, which renders it especially suitable in crises.  
The initial scope of discussion focused on the means utilized for da'wah during the COVID-19 outbreak. Anas  
et al. (2023) highlighted that interactive da'wah mediums tend to be two-way, necessitating an exchange  
between the da'i (preacher) and mad'u (audience). These channels, such as infographics and videographics,  
turn static information into dynamic visual formats that are especially suitable in instances of distress. This is  
supported by Ahmad Fauzi et al. (2022), who discovered that 91.3% of respondents regarded infographics as a  
successful platform for interactivity to sustain Islamic outreach amid the COVID-19 crisis. Hamouda et al.  
(2023) indicate that Islamic preachers' discourse, which focuses on the Quran and Hadith, continues to have  
considerable ideological influence. Throughout the outbreak, numerous preachers propagated the notion that it  
was divine wrath from Allah SWT, a message that was widely circulated on social media. Religious leaders  
successfully employed social media to disseminate Islamic da'wah during the COVID-19 epidemic (Azizah &  
Armoyu, 2021). A case study in Indonesia revealed that two prevalent religious groups (Nahdatul Ulama and  
Muhammadiyah) executed online as well as offline da'wah models in the wake of the pandemic, in line with  
the shifting requirements of millennial audiences (Rahdatul et al., 2023), a strategy known as a contemporary  
da'wah model (Rahmiati, 2022). During the COVID-19 outbreak, the da'wah model prioritized urging people  
to engage in good deeds that complied with Islamic teachings (Asti, 2021; Sarnoto, 2021). It arose as a feasible  
option because of the halt of religious activities in mosques throughout the pandemic, which was intended to  
prevent the virus from being transmitted within communities (Septoyadi, 2021; Fitria et al., 2020). This  
method corresponds with the maqasid shariah principles of life preservation (Tarshany et al., 2021) and  
encourages the continual advancement of human civilization by ensuring healthy physical, mental, emotional,  
and spiritual well-being (Zahrin et al., 2021).  
In addition, those affected by the COVID-19 epidemic participated in worship practices to strengthen their  
beliefs and devotion toward Allah SWT (Rosyidah & Pengestuti, 2023; Ikhsan, 2022). Similarly, the pandemic  
hastened the emergence of various religious values, such as akidah, akhlaq, da’wah, and muamalat (Susilo et  
al., 2022; Kandung et al., 2020; Pasaribu, 2020). The implementation of traditional and social media during the  
pandemic fostered a communal life marked by musyawarah, health, and optimism through integrated  
communication (Saragih et al., 2023). This view has been supported by Zainuddin et al. (2023), who  
emphasized that during the COVID-19 crisis, clear communication and knowledge were key to preserving  
well-being and survival. Efficient crisis management relies on the complete functionality and efficacy of  
communication. Ladyanna and Grem's (2022) case study in Korea revealed a surge in both the quantity and  
quality of Islamic teachings among Indonesian Muslim children, which they pointed to home-based learning  
policies and social distancing measures executed throughout the COVID-19 epidemic. The switch to online  
religious education reflected the larger shift to online learning during the worldwide epidemic, demonstrating  
Page 8661  
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH AND INNOVATION IN SOCIAL SCIENCE (IJRISS)  
ISSN No. 2454-6186 | DOI: 10.47772/IJRISS | Volume IX Issue X October 2025  
the constraints of paradigms and authorities of traditional education, all while revealing new grounds for  
digital religious education through times of crisis (Maemonah et al., 2022). Additionally, Nur Hidayah et al.  
(2022) reported that personal da'wah was carried out throughout the COVID-19 epidemic while complying  
with health guidelines and steering clear large gatherings.  
Digital learning resources have been substantially adapted to accessible, shareable, and publicly available  
materials that support the promotion of da'wah practices (Wijayati, 2022), alongside the use of radio to  
broadcast messages of da'wah throughout the COVID-19 outbreak (Armia & Herlina, 2021). Furthermore,  
Tarigan (2022) discovered interactive media based on 3D animation as an effective means for circulating  
da'wah through the pandemic in conjunction with platforms such as Instagram (Febrina et al., 2021), TikTok,  
YouTube, Google Meet, Zoom Meeting, and WhatsApp (Hamzah & Islam, 2021; Purwaniti et al., 2021;  
Salsabila et al., 2021; Santosa & Darodjatun, 2021). Although interactive da'wah media are used extensively  
following the calamity, preachers must have digital training to increase their efficiency (Ermayani et al., 2021).  
Meanwhile, messages of da'wah should be filtered to steer clear communal controversy and misguided  
behavior (Munir et al., 2020). Consequently, the incorporation of interactive da'wah media has proven to be  
very important during previous crises as well as the COVID-19 epidemic.  
The following section addresses the integration of interactive media into moral quandaries. According to Salim  
and Othman (2024), mass media and social media are potent instruments for countering the issue of  
Islamophobia via Islamic da'wah, both in Malaysia and globally. A case study in the Philippines underscored  
education in Islamic values as a remedy for the ethical dilemma that plagues contemporary Islamic  
communities, most notably the Bangsamoro community in Mindanao, a conflict-ridden region of the  
Philippines. This approach encompasses Islamic values, including ta’lim, tarbiyyah, and ta’dib (Lantong et al.,  
2023). Lundeto et al. (2023) stressed that da'wah stakeholders should employ social media as a promotional  
tool and a means of spreading da’wah in a bid to inspire the younger generation to enrich their religious  
knowledge, thus combating the moral crisis. Moral crises compel preachers to leverage technology in the 4.0  
digital era. The digital da'wah on multiple platforms, such as YouTube, has had a positive impact across all  
facets of the community by offering vital counsel and religious inspiration (Wahdah, 2023).  
Moreover, the inappropriate utilization of social media has culminated in a decline in Islamic moral values in  
young people, notably in Sabah. Research suggests that social media leads youths to develop negative ideals  
that are contrary to cultural and religious values. To fortify themselves from these adverse consequences,  
young people should have a firm base in religion (Rahman et al., 2022). This moral crisis must start in early  
childhood education alongside the development of moral and religious values that relate to their immediate  
surroundings. Findings from studies indicate that films that integrate religious and ethical education contribute  
to building children's religious character (Septiani & Hafidz, 2021).  
The final scope examines the implementation of interactive media during flood disasters. As indicated by  
Pratama and Harahap (2024), flood victims must embrace God's decree wholeheartedly and elevate their faith  
through placidity and submission. This will allow strength and self-confidence to develop in the future.  
Zunnabli et al. (2023) similarly asserts that the online da'wah paradigm, which makes use of new media,  
provides an alternate means for religious experts to sustain their da'wah agendas online. Consequently, flood  
disasters, which are common in China, compel preachers' use of available ICT to ensure the continuance of  
da'wah during floods. This approach soothes flood victims and compels them to yield to Allah SWT's will,  
especially in places such as Selangor, Johor, and Kedah, which have recently undergone severe and abrupt  
floods.  
Practical Examples and Case Studies of Interactive Da’wah Implementation During Crises  
Interactive da'wah platforms have grown into essential tools for spiritual resilience, dissemination of  
knowledge, and community togetherness in times of turmoil, as demonstrated by real-world examples from  
Malaysia and adjacent areas. These showcase the ways Islamic communication can adapt to modern  
technological settings while preserving religious participation regardless of social constraints.

Case 1: Online Mosque Engagement During the COVID-19 Pandemic (Malaysia)  
A great deal of mosques and musollah in Malaysia, including Federal Territory Mosque and Al-Azim Mosque  
in Melaka, initiated online da'wah initiatives utilizing Facebook Live and YouTube broadcasting throughout  
the Movement Control Order (MCO) from 2020 to 2021. Real-time tazkirah, Quran recitations, and virtual  
Friday sermons were held by religious officials and enlisted da'i. Live chat and comment options ensured two-  
way communication. Despite the lockdowns, this immersive method permits viewers to pose questions in real  
time while also foster an aspect of communal worship. These programmes indicated the way digital da'wah  
broadened public coverage, attracting engagement from Malaysians living abroad, whilst retaining religious  
consistency (Qayyum et al., 2023).  
Case 2: Digital Humanitarian Da’wah During Flood Disasters (East Coast Malaysia, 2021–2022)  
Islamic non-governmental organizations (NGOs) notably Islamic Relief Malaysia and Yayasan Ikhlas  
embedded da'wah components into their humanitarian relief operations (Sutrisno et al., 2022). Activists  
employed online platforms and WhatsApp groups to convey inspirational tazkirah while extending required  
aid, stressing sabr (patience) and tawakkal (faith in Allah) amidst adversity. In an attempt to reassure those  
affected by floods and bolster their mental and spiritual fortitude, brief videos and infographics created in  
partnership with young asatizah were shared online. These programs featured interactive communication in  
conjunction with da'wah bil-hal, or preaching via action.  
Case 3: Social Media Influencers and Youth Da’wah Engagement  
Contemporary da'i practitioners such as Ustaz Wadi Anuar and Ustaz Ebit Lew have effectively used  
Instagram, Reels and TikTok to communicate succinct, aesthetically pleasing, and compassionate messages  
regarding moral dilemmas and psychological strain in periods of turmoil. By means of live broadcasts, Q&A  
sessions, and comment responses, their engaged involvement shifted viewers from passive observers to active  
contributors in spiritual exchanges. This model revealed that micro-content da'wah could facilitate young  
people develop ethical deliberation and spiritual endurance (Roslan et al., 2025)  
Case 4: Hybrid Da’wah by Religious Organizations (Indonesia)  
Over the outbreak, prominent Islamic movements in Indonesia, such as Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama  
(NU), devised blended da'wah techniques which merged live and online preaching. Participants in such events  
could interact directly with scholars across Zoom and Google Meet. A viable strategy of technological  
advancement in Islamic education that is adaptable in post-crisis circumstances becomes apparent in such  
hybridization (Rahmi et al., 2023)  
When viewed as entirely, these case studies reveal that interactive da'wah is not restricted to technology  
instead constitutes a holistic paradigm encompassing spiritual care, emotional intelligence, and digital  
proficiency. Upcoming da'wah approaches may grow more inclusive, adaptable, and crisis-resistant by  
implementing such procedures through cooperation involving mosque administrators, religious divisions, and  
digital content contributors.  
CONCLUSION  
Based on the preceding review of the three scopes of catastrophes, interactive da'wah platforms that deploy  
existing ICT together with traditional da'wah media, including radio and television, are exceedingly paramount  
for preachers to leverage during instances of calamities. The latest trend in interactive da'wah media has  
morphed from static to the utilization of videography and infographics, which are straightforward, succinct,  
and clear. During disasters, those impacted seek swift, simple and concise information, especially crucial  
information and religious instruction, such as worship. In addition, da'wah lessons geared toward aqeedah  
(faith) and akhlaq (morality) are imperative to establishing a sharia-compliant environment in crises, assuring

adherence to Islamic conduct and compliance with Allah SWT's commands all while eschewing all that is  
prohibited.
