<description>Former K-Pop Fandom, Instagram, and Digital Dakwah Communication: A Content Analysis of the @xkwavers Account
Ilham, Alifya Aisya; Afifi, Subhan
This study employs a comprehensive content analysis to examine the dynamics of&#13;
digital da’wah communication through the Instagram account @xkwavers, which is focused&#13;
on delivering Islamic teachings to former K-Pop enthusiasts. The research investigates how @&#13;
xkwavers strategically blends Islamic messages with entertainment to engage a predominantly&#13;
adolescent audience. By utilizing Instagram’s interactive features, the account addresses potential&#13;
conflicts between K-Pop culture and Islamic values, particularly within the Indonesian context.&#13;
A substantial portion of the analyzed content is centered on educational programs designed&#13;
to enhance followers’ understanding of Islamic principles. The analysis covers multiple units&#13;
of analysis, including post formats, types of Instagram content, likes, comments, video views,&#13;
content categories, educational programs, and entertainment elements. This study positions&#13;
@xkwavers as a pioneering model of digital da’wah, specifically targeting teenagers influenced&#13;
by K-Pop culture. By integrating entertainment with spiritual guidance, @xkwavers effectively&#13;
navigates the challenges and opportunities of contemporary digital da’wah communication.&#13;
The research contributes to the broader academic discourse by highlighting the pivotal role&#13;
social media plays in engaging younger generations in da’wah efforts.

Zakat, one of the five pillars of Islam, mandates charitable giving for community&#13;
welfare. Islamic media plays a crucial role in promoting Zakat awareness and encouraging&#13;
its practice. This study examines audience perceptions of Islamic media’s effectiveness in&#13;
promoting Zakat in India and Indonesia. Through surveys of 100 respondents in each country,&#13;
representing Malerkotla, Yogyakarta, Jakarta, and Surabaya, the research explores how Islamic&#13;
media influences Zakat knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Findings from this comparative&#13;
analysis will contribute to understanding the impact of Islamic media on Zakat promotion and&#13;
provide insights for enhancing its effectiveness.

<description>Role of Social Entrepreneur Companions at the Early Days of Muhammad Prophethood
Yuda Utama, Radikal
This research explores the role of social entrepreneur companions (SEC) in supporting&#13;
the mission of Muhammad and establishing the early Muslim community. The term SEC refers to&#13;
the early companions who had backgrounds in entrepreneurship, trade, or business, for instance&#13;
Khadijah, Abu Bakr, Uthman, Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf, and Talhah Ibn Ubaydullah. Additionally,&#13;
this study identifies the key principles adopted by these SECs in allocating and distributing their&#13;
resources. The research also examines the long-term impact of the social investments made&#13;
by these companions up to the present day. To address these research questions, a literature&#13;
review methodology was employed. The study finds that the SECs provided two major forms&#13;
of support to Muhammad: financial and psychological. Five key principles guided the SECs in&#13;
managing their resources: (1) prioritizing the establishment of the early Muslim community, (2)&#13;
innovation and adaptability, (3) sustainability and long-term vision, (4) social value creation,&#13;
and (5) ethical leadership and role modeling.
