Abstract

Social media is a platform that allows religious narratives to be disseminated and accessed freely. Extremist groups can use this facility to trigger religious conflicts. It is undeniable that Z Generation will often encounter radical narratives on social media, considering that they are a generation that is very close to social media. The more active extremist movements on social media require balancing the domination of the wasathiyah doctrine by the teachings of the Al-Qur'an, especially towards Z Generation to create a wise generation in accepting differences and harmony in religious life. This article aims to find out how social media can be used to preach wasathiyah to Z Generation based on the perspective of the Al-Qur'an. This research is descriptive qualitative research using the library research method. The data is sourced from the Al-Qur'an, books, and relevant scientific articles. The data is read and analyzed using descriptive techniques. The analysis results are presented using a deductive method from a general theory to the findings of the research results. The results of the study say that social media is a platform that is very close to Z Generation so that it can be an opportunity to voice the wasathiyah concept by the Al-Qur'an: (1) Al-Adiyat: 5; (2) Al-Baqarah: 143; (3) Al-Qalam:28; and (4) Al-Baqarah: 238, more broadly on social media, a place where Z Generation seeks and shares information. Z Generation's characteristic behavior on social media requires Da'I to be more creative, innovative, to the point, relate, and up-to-date in showing wasathiyah da'wah content on social media. Thus, Wasathiyah da'wah will be distributed more widely to overcome the problems of differences in the digital space.
