Abstract

This sociological study delves into the impact of digital media on Muslim religious communities within the diverse religious landscape of Lombok. Utilizing qualitative research methods, such as interviews, participant observation, and content analysis, the research reveals how digital media influences various aspects of religious life. Key findings indicate that digital media facilitates virtual worship, religious education, and community formation, transcending physical barriers and enhancing inclusivity. The influence on religious beliefs and practices varies, with exposure to diverse perspectives challenging existing beliefs for some, while reinforcing them for others. Additionally, generational differences in online religious engagement are observed, highlighting varying levels of participation and interaction with digital platforms across age groups. The research also uncovers concerns related to the authenticity of online religious experiences and the spread of misinformation, but it identifies valuable opportunities for religious outreach and global connection. Furthermore, the cultural context of Lombok significantly influences the integration of digital media into religious practices, underscoring the importance of considering local nuances. This study provides essential insights for academic research on the interplay between technology and religion and offers practical implications for religious leaders and policymakers seeking to navigate the evolving landscape of faith in the digital era. Understanding these dynamics is crucial in an era where technology continues to redefine the contours of religious life and practice.
