Communication in the Perspective of the Quran: A Normative Approach to Community Moral Development

Weni Afni — 2025-04-28

The Quran is the primary source of Islamic teachings, which not only conveys principles of faith but also teaches good and ethical communication in social life. In a social context, communication is not merely a process of conveying messages but also a means of shaping character and noble morals. The Qur'an presents various prophetic communication models rich in moral values such as honesty, courtesy, empathy, and constructive firmness. This study aims to identify the principles of communication according to the Quran and analyse their contribution to the fostering of public morals. The methodology used is a qualitative approach with a library research method. Data sources are examined through thematic interpretations of Quranic verses related to interpersonal communication, da’wah communication, and communication ethics, then analysed using a normative-theological approach. The results of the study indicate that Qur’anic communication emphasises principles such as i) speaking truthfully (qawlan ṣadīdan), ii) speaking kindly (qawlan karīman), iii) speaking gently (qawlan layyinan), and iv) engaging in wise dialogue (mujādalah bi allati hiya aḥsan). The implications of this research indicate that the values of communication in the Quran can serve as a normative foundation for character education, Islamic da'wah, and social communication practices in the modern era. The integration of Quranic communication principles into various aspects of life can help form a society that is ethical, tolerant, and dignified.

Muhammad Ikhsan — 2025-04-28

Communication is an important aspect of social and religious life, especially in the context of Islamic preaching. The Prophet Muhammad SAW is known as a skilled communicator who was able to convey the teachings of Islam with wisdom, empathy, and effective strategies. Through the hadiths that record his communication practices, Islamic communication values can be found that touch not only spiritual aspects, but also social and psychological aspects. The Prophet's communication skills not only succeeded in building harmonious relationships with his followers but also laid the foundation for an inclusive and transformative da'wah. This study aims to examine the principles and strategies of the Prophet's communication as reflected in authentic hadiths and to explore their relevance in building social relationships and conveying da'wah in the contemporary era. The research methodology employs a qualitative approach using library research. Primary sources include hadith collections such as Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, and works by classical and contemporary scholars in the fields of Islamic communication and da'wah. The research findings indicate that the Prophet's communication art is based on values such as i) honesty, ii) firmness with kindness, iii) empathy, iv) the use of analogies (tamtsīl), v) strategic silence, and open dialogue. The implications of this research indicate that the principles of the Prophet's communication, as recorded in the hadith, remain highly relevant for application in contemporary contexts such as education, digital da'wah, leadership, and interpersonal relationships. The integration of these prophetic communication values can serve as a solution to the ethical communication crisis and social fragmentation occurring in the modern era.

Nurdianna Nurdianna — 2025-04-28

Communication in Islam is not only seen as an activity of conveying messages, but also as a form of worship that must be based on noble moral values. The hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad SAW contain various ethical principles of communication, such as speaking truthfully, speaking politely, avoiding gossip, and fostering empathy and open dialogue. This study aims to explore Islamic communication values based on hadith and examine how these principles are reflected in the daily lives of Muslims. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using library research methods. Data is analysed from major hadith collections such as Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, and Riyāḍuṣ Ṣāliḥīn, and is supplemented by contemporary Islamic communication literature. The focus of the study is directed towards identifying Islamic communication values and their application in social relations within the family, community, and public spaces. The results of the study reveal five main values: i) ṣidq (honesty) in speech; ii) ḥilm and rifq (courtesy and gentleness); iii) iḥtirām (respect and appreciation); iv) taʿāwun (cooperation in social dialogue); and v) tawāḍu‘ (humility in conveying the truth). These values contribute significantly to building dignified, harmonious communication rooted in Islamic spirituality. The implications of this research underscore the importance of Islamic communication education based on hadith in the fields of education, media, and da'wah, so that a society that is emotionally intelligent and noble in communication can be created.

The Role of Mass Media in the Dynamics of Law Enforcement in the Information Age

Irma Dani — 2025-04-28

The information age has brought significant changes to the relationship between the mass media and the law enforcement system. The media no longer merely serves as a channel for disseminating news but has evolved into a social actor capable of shaping public opinion, pressuring legal institutions, and influencing the course of judicial proceedings. This article aims to comprehensively examine the role of the mass media in the dynamics of law enforcement in the digital age, by analysing the positive and negative impacts of media involvement in legal processes. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach through literature review and content analysis of several high-profile legal cases that have received extensive coverage from online and print media. The results of the study show that the mass media has six main roles in this context, namely as i) a disseminator of legal information, ii) a tool for social control over the performance of legal institutions, iii) a shaper of public opinion, iv) a catalyst for public participation, a facilitator of advocacy processes, and as v) an actor with the potential to create public pressure through the phenomenon of trial by media. Therefore, the implications of this study emphasise the importance of strengthening journalistic ethics, regulating legal content in the media, and improving public legal literacy so that the mass media can truly become a constructive partner in supporting the rule of law in the global information era.

Berlianda Indah Putri — 2025-04-28

The digital information era has driven transformation in journalism and broadcasting practices, requiring synergy between media law and professional ethics. This study aims to analyse the influence of media law on the implementation of journalistic ethics and professionalism in broadcasting. Using a qualitative approach through literature review and regulatory document analysis, this study examines legal instruments such as Law No. 32 of 2002 on Broadcasting, KPI regulations, and the Press Council's Journalistic Code of Ethics. The research findings reveal five key findings: i) media law provides a normative framework that limits and guides broadcasting practices, ii) journalistic ethics strengthen the social responsibility of media professionals, iii) there is tension between the demands of press freedom and compliance with the law and moral values, iv) broadcasting professionalism can only be achieved through a balance between legal compliance and the internalisation of ethics and v) low legal and ethical literacy among media workers is a serious challenge. The implications of this study emphasise the importance of media ethics and law education in newsrooms and the need to strengthen regulations that favour the public interest. This is crucial to maintaining credible, ethical, and professional broadcasting quality amid the ever evolving global information flow.
