2024-07-24T04:24:42+07:00

This article discusses the impact of new media on the dissemination of religious ideology, particularly in Indonesia, where the process of spreading Islam has traditionally been carried out through face-to-face meetings between students and teachers. With the rise of the internet, however, the transfer of religious knowledge has shifted to digital spaces such as websites, social media, and other online platforms. This has led to a proliferation of religious content and a blurring of the religious expert authorities, some of which may hold extremist and intolerant views. The objective of the study is to examine the major role of the pesantren educational tradition as the basis for strengthening religious moderation in the post-truth era. In the post-truth era, there are shifting models of Islamic da’wah which was originally at the practical level to the media level, as well as the rise of phenomenon where the objective facts do not influence public opinion. The researcher used a qualitative approach to identify the role and implications of the sanad tradition on the high index of potential for radicalism by internet users. Qualitative work steps such as observation, documentation, and literature study techniques were used by the author in this research. The researchers identified that Islamic boarding schools in their history are closely related to the scientific sanad tradition which can be a counter to extremist religious content in social media. The scientific sanad tradition in Islamic boarding schools has argumentatively not easily believed in religious doctrines without going through direct contact with spiritual teachers. The principle of continuous scientific sanad tradition between teachers and students, as well as direct scientific transformation, is important amid the acceptance of religious narratives circulating on social media regardless of their source and legitimacy.

The social construction of scabies among Islamic boarding school students (santri) is a critical yet underexplored issue. Previous studies have not fully addressed how scabies is perceived and constructed within this community. This study focuses on understanding the meanings and social interactions surrounding scabies among santri. Using a qualitative exploratory descriptive approach, data were collected through participant observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Analysis involved data interpretation, display, and conclusion withdrawal, guided by Berger and Luckmann's theory of social construction, which includes externalization, objectivation, and internalization. The findings reveal diverse meanings attached to scabies among santri, including "santri stamp," "legitimate," "grace and favors," "blessing entrance," "routine disease," and "the value of togetherness." These meanings stem from social prestige and collective subjectivity shaped by the roles and statuses within the boarding school environment.

This study highlights the importance of understanding health conditions' social meanings within specific cultural contexts, significantly impacting community responses and management strategies.
