TRANSFORMASI NILAI-NILAI DAKWAH WALI SONGO SEBAGAI MODEL PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DI ERA DIGITAL

Abstract

Islamic education in the digital era faces various challenges, including low digital literacy, moral degradation, and shifts in the learning patterns of the younger generation. These challenges highlight the need for an adaptive, humanistic, and contextual educational model. The Wali Songo are renowned for successfully spreading Islam throughout the Indonesian archipelago through peaceful educational and cultural approaches that accommodated local wisdom. This study aims to describe the da'wah strategies employed by the Wali Songo during the Islamization process in the archipelago, analyze the Islamic educational values embedded within these strategies, and examine their relevance as a model of Islamic education in the digital era. This study employs a library research method with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through documentation techniques and analyzed using content analysis. The findings reveal that the Wali Songo implemented da'wah strategies through education, culture and arts, exemplary conduct, social approaches, economic and trade activities, and the acculturation of local culture. These strategies embody the values of tolerance, religious moderation, humanism, exemplary behavior, persuasive communication, contextual learning, and character education. These values remain highly relevant in the digital era and can be implemented through interactive digital-based learning, Islamic educational content on social media, the strengthening of digital citizenship, project-based and collaborative learning, and the promotion of religious moderation as an effort to prevent digital radicalism.
