Abstract: Social media is an online media that enables its users to easily participate, share and create the content. The
most common forms of social media are blog, social network, and wikis. There are more than 140 million
Indonesians use internet, and they are so familiar with social media through smartphone or computer. This
study aims to examine types of social media students use, how the frequency of social media usage, and the
purpose of using social media. This research is an explorative descriptive study which is conducted on high
school students in Semarang. The results showed that the types of social media used by students are line,
whatsapp, and instagram.
1 INTRODUCTION
The survey conducted by APJII (Indonesian Internet
Service Provider Association) showed that in 2017
there were 143 million people of Indonesia used
internet. Of this number, 80% of them are active
social media users with an average access of 3 hours
per day. The majority of users are those aged 19-34
years, young people who grow up in digital age
(www.kompas.com, accessed on 25 July 2018).
Social media is an online media that enables its
users to easily participate, share and create the
content. The most common forms of social media
are blog, social network, and wikis. Social media
facilitates its users to communicate variously with
others, and it even becomes an interactive dialogue.
Social Media is a site where everyone may create a
personal web, which is then connected to friends to
communicate and share information quickly
(https://id.m.wikipedia.org, accessed on 25 July
2018).
Social Media like detik or okezone is faster than
printed media like newspaper or magazine in giving
information. Social Media also provides a lot of
news with search engine like google or yahoo just by
typing several words on it. Social Media also
provides video service as a means of entertainment
and information like youtube. Social media makes
friendship network more intense and massive, i.e.
facebook, twitter, line and whatsapp.
Technology is like a double-edged sword, not
only providing benefits, but also putting ones in
danger. Social media including social networking is
beneficial in the field of communication,
information and education. In educational field, it
can accelerate or assist the learning process
(https://id.m.wikipedia.org, accessed on 25 July
2018). On the other hand, it might be harmful when
used unwisely, i.e. the spread of pornographic
issues, addiction to playing games, violence among
students, and the spread of hoax news and radicalism
that might lead to terror acts.
The problem we face now is how to minimize
the negative impacts of technological progress and
optimize the positive ones. It is important for
teachers and parents to direct and help their children
use social media wisely, such as browsing the
content to learn, spreading or accessing positive
informative content, and limiting the duration of
using it. Parents or teachers can direct their children
in order to access the social media that can stimulate
their creative and innovative abilities, Islamic
materials to build character, some links to learn
reading Quran or to understand its contents well.
The scholars overcome the issues of radicalism by
presenting articles which contain good material,
building peace to create Islam which is rahmatan
lil'alamin, in accordance with the understanding of
Quran which is based on the rules of quranic
interpretation to count on.

Knowing the important role of understanding the
Quran as a basis for Islamic education, how to share
Islamic material with others, and the widespread use
of social media, the writer is interested in conducting
research entitled “The Role of Social Media in
Improving the Understanding of Quran and
Religious Proselytizing” (Study of High School
Students in Semarang). This research is to answer
the questions: 1. What types of social media do
students use? 2. What is the frequency of using
social media among students? 3. What are the
students’ goals of using social media?
This is an explorative descriptive research.
Descriptive research is a study that aims to describe
specific object and to relate phenomena with other
important aspects. Descriptive research aims to
make a systematic, factual and accurate description
about facts and their relation among phenomena
being investigated (Essential, Research
Method,Phsycology,file.upi.edu/direktori/FIP/JUR._
PSIKOLOGI, accessed on June 4 2018). In a
descriptive study, the data were collected using
interview and scheduled questionnaire/interview
guide (Goode & Hatt, 1952). The interviews were
conducted on 14 high school students in Semarang
using social media of whatsapp and line.
Technique of analyzing data used in this study is
inductive-descriptive method. Inductive analysis is
carried out by concluding the facts so that the
separated facts can be organized into a coherent
sequence. Descriptive analysis is conducted by
completely describing the results of the inductive
analysis through written language which is easy to
understand.
These results of study can be used as a reference
for technology practitioners, lecturers, Islamic
proselytizing activists, Islamic spirituality activists
(rohis) or campus proselytizing institute to make
innovations in terms of learning Quran and Islamic
proselytizing.
2 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
2.1 Quran and Motivation to Seek the
Knowledge
Quran is revealed by Allah to explain about
everything (tibyanan likulli syai '), as a guide,
blessing as well as good news for s. All instructions
and blessings contained in Al-Quran are expected to
lead humans to the path of goodness and avoid them
from destruction. To get guidance from the Qur'an,
humans must read and actualize it in order to
understand its contents. AL-Quran is the words of
Allah revealed to Prophet Muhammad, and reading
it is valued as worship (Qaththan, 1973). Thus,
reading Quran is the first door to get instruction and
guidance from it.
To learn reciting Quran well, one may hear from
ones’ recording uploaded on youtube. To learn its
translation and interpretation, one can download it
on laptop or smartphone. Interpretation books are
also available in pdf format which is downloadable
for free. These all are convenient ways that can be
enjoyed by Quran learners in the digital era.
Learning is a command of Quran. The first
revelation is surah al-alaq which begins with the
word iqra ', which means "read", or "recite".
According to Assad, the right one is the first
meaning, “read”. Reading means catching the point
consciously for the purpose of understanding an idea
received from a particular source (Assad, 2017). The
word Iqra ' means not only "read", but also "learn".
The first revelation indicates the importance of
reading to study the verses of Allah both qauliyah
and kauniyah.
2.2 Religiosity
2.2.1 The Notion of Religiosity
The word “religiosity” is an English word that
functions as noun. It is shaped from adjective
“religious” which means “pious” (Echols & Shadily,
1995). The word religiosity is a term used to
describe those who adhere certain religion.
According to Bloodgood et al., religiosity is
described as an understanding, commitment, and
following the teachings of principles and doctrines
of certain religion (Blodgood et al., 2007).
Woodbine et al. state that nearly all religion and
belief system have rules for the adherents in order to
behave appropriately in all aspect of life including
business aspect (Woodbine et al., 2009).
Religiosity can also mean “piety” or “the
statement of being religious. The term religiosity is
used interchangeably, and it is often defined as an
individual’s devotion, conviction, and veneration
towards a divinity. However, in its most
comprehensive use, religiosity can include all
dimensions of religion, yet the concept of religiosity
can also be used in a narrow perspective to show an
extreme view and over dedication to religious
tradition and ritual. This rigid form of religiosity is
often viewed as a negative side of the religious
experience, it can be symbolized by an over
involvement in religious practices which are
The Role of Social Media in Improving the Understanding of Quran and Religious Proselytizing: A Study of High School Students in
Semarang
1993
regarded to be beyond the social norms of one’s
faith (Gallagher S., Tierney W
, 2013).
Religiosity is a term used by moslem and non-
muslim to refer to religious activities. In other word,
religiosity is a devotion all kinds of activity related
to religion. Thus, being religious people means
performing Islamic teaching entirely. Allah the
almighty said in Al-Qur’an Surah Al-Baqarah verse
208 which means “O ye who believe! Enter into
Islam whole-heartedly; and follow not the footsteps
of the evil one; for he is to you an avowed enemy.”
Based on the elaboration above, it can be
concluded that somebody who performs the teaching
of religion is called religious people. In other word,
religious person is the one who conducts religious
teaching entirely.
2.2.2 Dimension of Religiosity
There are several dimensions of religiosity as
promoted by some researchers. According to Charles
and Rodney there are five dimensions of religiosity,
namely dimension of belief, dimension of ritual,
dimension of devotion, dimension of experience and
dimension of knowledge (Glock & Stark, 1965).
Dimension of Belief. Dimension of belief is the
basis of religiosity. Its content is the expectations of
religious people to count on strong doctrine of a
certain religion. Every religion has their own
teaching that should be obeyed by the adherents. The
contents and scope of belief are varied from those of
other religions. Islam has its own dimension of
belief. Ruthven stated the primary contents of
religious belief in Islam are the belief in the
existence of Allah, the belief in words of Allah, the
belief in the existence of angels, jinn, and other
creatures contained in the Quran (Ruthven, 2000).
Dimension of Ritual. Dimension of ritual measures
the level of obedience, how far people perform their
obligation. In Islam the main religious rituals are
described by the five pillars of Islam (rukun Islam),
namely bearing witness that there is no god but
Allah (Syahadat), performing five daily prayers
(salat), giving zakat, fasting during the month of
Ramadhan and pilgrimage to Mecca for those who
are able to perform it once in a lifetime
(Waadenburg, 2002). From this dimension can be
known that religious people conduct the five pillars
of Islam as their obligation.
Dimension of Devotion. Having had a strong belief
and performing all religious activities, muslim must
have devotion to their god. Dimension of devotion
has indicators to measure the practices of religious
devotion. In this case, people can be known whether
they devote to Allah or not. Devoted muslim usually
recite basmala before doing every beneficial tasks in
their everyday life even though god doesn’t see
them.
Dimension of Experience. Dimension of experience
is the feelings and experiences ever gotten by
people. This dimension can be viewed like other
common life experiences like activities that shape
individual’s world view. Religious people will
experience a religious emotion one day. Thus,
people who have felt the presence of Allah may be
more likely to show higher levels of behaviour,
belief and religious feeling. Religious people who
have these experiences will feel like they are close to
Allah, afraid of committing sins, feeling like their
prayers are granted, etc.
Dimension of Knowledge. Some knowledge of
religious contents is expected to be held by believers
in all religions (Glock, 1962). According to him it is
hard to decide which religious contents that matter
in every single of religion. This dimension is related
with one’s knowledge and understanding towards
their religious teachings. Those who have religion
are necessary to know the primary knowledge about
the basis of belief, rituals, holy books and traditions.
In Islam Quran is the source of knowledge as well as
the life reference.
2.2.3 Factors Affecting Religiosity
There are some factors that might affect one’s
religiosity as promoted by Thouless and Jalaluddun.
According to Thouless factor of religiosity is divided
into four; social factor, natural factor, needy factor
and intellectual factor (Thouless, 2000).
Social Factor. Social factor of religiosity includes
all social influences such as education, parents’
teaching, traditions and social pressures. Social
factor in religion consists of various effects on both
religious beliefs and behaviours.
Natural Factor. Natural factor of religiosity is that
religious people realize that everything in this world
is due to Allah SWT, for example people admire the
beauty of the sea, the forest. Natural factor includes
the moral in the form of good experiences of a
nature, such as moral conflict and emotional
experience.
ICRI 2018 - International Conference Recent Innovation
1994
Needy Factor. Needy factor of religiosity emerges
because people need guidance in all aspects of life.
This factor is very important for human being
because they are aware that in living the life they
need some right ways according to their religion.
Intellectual Factor. Intellectual factor of
religiosity is related to the process of verbal thought,
especially in the formation of beliefs about religion.
This factor is so important that it will develop a
positive religious attitude.
Jalaluddin divided the factor of religiosity into two
types, namely internal factor and external factor
(Jalaluddin, 2008).
a. Internal Factor
Like other psychological aspects, the religious
psychologists put forward various theories based on
their respective approaches. Internal factor of
religiosity is categorized into four as follows:
1. Heredity
Religious souls are not directly as innate factors
inherited from generation to generation, but are
formed from various other psychological elements
which include cognitive, affective and psychomotor.
2. Age level
Some religious psychological studies explained
about a relationship between the age level and
religious awareness. Age level is not the only
determining factor in one's religious awareness. This
factor can be known from the differences in
understanding of religion at different ages.
3. Personality
Personality is one of internal factors of
religiosity. Many of us have different personality
that indicates distinguish understanding of religion.
Under normal conditions, indeed individuals have
differences in personality. This difference affects
psychological aspects including religious awareness.
4. Psychiatric conditions
There are many unnatural psychiatric conditions
such as schizophrenia, paranoia, maniac, and
infantile autism. The important thing we need to
highlight is its relation to the psychological
development of religion. Someone who has
schizophrenia will isolate himself from social life
and his perception of religion will be influenced by
hallucinations.
b. External Factors
External factors are considered influential in
religiosity. They can be known from the
environment where they live. Generally the
environment is divided into three parts, they are:
1. Family environment
Family is the simplest social unit in human life. It is
the first social environment that is known by each
individual. Thus, family life is the initial phase of
socialization for the formation of religious souls on
each individual.
2. Institutional environment
Through the curriculum, which contains teaching
material, the attitudes and exemplary behaviour of
teachers as educators and associations among friends
at schools are considered to have an important role
in instilling good habits. Good habituation is part of
moral formation that is closely related to the
development of one's religious life.
3. Societal environment
The societal environment is not an environment
that contains elements of responsibility; it solely
contains the element of influence. Norm and value
have a greater influence on the development of
religious souls, both in positive and negative forms.
2.3 Responsibility for Da’wah
Etymologically, the word “da'wah” derives from
Arabic language da'a-yad'u da'watan, which means
calling, uttering or inviting (Hans, 1980).
Terminologically, da'wah is a conscious and planned
effort to invite others verbally or with deed to realize
and behave according to Islamic teachings
(Jumantoro, 2001). Thus, we commonly know the
term da'wah bil lisan and da'wah bil hal. Da'wah
can be done not only by lecture, but also by concrete
actions, such as donating money to orphan, donating
money to build public facilities.
Da'wah is an obligation of individual s
addressed to anyone to do good things and prevent
the immorality (amar ma'ruf nahi munkar), in
accordance with Quran surah Ali Imran: 104. The
best predicate of ummah (khaira ummat) is given by
Allah to those who actively preach, namely doing
good deed and preventing the bad ones (Assad,
2017). In order to be successful in da’wah, it is
The Role of Social Media in Improving the Understanding of Quran and Religious Proselytizing: A Study of High School Students in
Semarang
1995
necessary to apply the right method. Da'wah should
be applied with wisdom and good instruction, and
discussion which is the best (Q. Surah al-Nahl: 125)
(
Religious Ministry of RI, Thematic Quranic
Interpretation, jilid 3, Jakarta: Lajnah Pentashihan
Mushaf Quran). According to Assad, this verse
emphasizes on goodness, wisdom, and the use of
logical reason in religious discussion, not coercion
(
Religious Ministry of RI, Thematic Quranic
Interpretation, jilid 1, Jakarta: Lajnah Pentashihan
Mushaf Quran). Da'wah is different from coercion.
In this modern era, religious proselytizers have a
chance to proselytize in various ways by considering
the audience. How proselytizing becomes interesting
without forcing. How preaching is delivered in such
away. Therefore, da'wah can use various media.
Social media can be an effective means of preaching
(Sumadi, 2016).

The table above describes that all informants
have used many types of social media in their daily
life. The data above shows the students use many
types of social media. Those who use line and
instagram are (14), ask fm (11), snap chat (8), BBM
(8), facebook (6), Twitter (2), we chat (1).
The students always use social media in their
daily activities; they cannot even be away from
them. The ones who use social media for
approximately 2 hours a day to chat with friends or
family or to browse through google or yahoo are 12
people, those who spend 3 hours are 1 person, 3-5
hours 1 person, 4 hours 1 person, 4-5 hours 2 people,
5 hours 1 person, 7 hours 1 person and flexible 1
person.
Most students in Semarang use social media as a
means to communicate with friends and to complete
school assignments, they communicate among
members of the organization (i.e. osis, rohis,
paskibar, and English club). As teenagers they want
to show their existence to others, one student used
social media to show self-existence (informant XII).
There is a student who used social media to expose
himself in order to be famous (informant XIV).
From the data described above, it is known that
social media plays a role for high school students in
improving their understanding on Quran and Islamic
knowledge. 16 informants stated that social media is
important to improve the understanding of Quran
and Islam. There are only 4 informants who could
not feel it; he used social media merely to send
photos for the purpose of becoming famous. There
are some interesting expressions we need to
consider, i.e. social media can be a teacher in
improving the understanding of Quran and Islam
(informant I). This expression means a lot for some
religious proselytizers, Islamic education teachers,
Islamic spirituality activists (rohis) in order to
provide qualified blogs to meet the informants’
need. In addition to all social media mentioned
above, they must also utilize social media to provide
content or to share material related to Quran. For
example, Rohis with its official line, it is routinely
sending its members about interesting themes of
Quran to hear and discuss among students.
On whatsapp or line group, each member can
play a role as proselytizer, as said by Prophet
Muhammad “ballighu annni walau ayatan”, which
means to convey from me even though it’s only one
verse. The awareness of preaching from each
member of a social networking group will have a
positive impact on improving the Islamic knowledge
of members. This is exactly the same as experienced
by informants VIII and XIII. One student stated that
learning to read Quran needs a teacher.
Using technology is an appropriate and effective
method to support learning Quran and religious
proselytizing because in Indonesia the internet users
in 2017 had reached 140 million (80% of them use
social media). Globalization era is an opportunity to
proselytize globally in order to convey Islamic
messages and teachings quickly based on target. In
general, the students may obtain many kinds of
materials about Quran and Islam from social media,
The Role of Social Media in Improving the Understanding of Quran and Religious Proselytizing: A Study of High School Students in
Semarang
1997
starting from simple things such as how to read
Quran well, ritual ablution, worship, wearing veil,
ethics of mingling with others, reading tutorial of
classical book, even the discussion of modern
Islamic law. It shows that through social media one
can find positive benefits to improve the quality of
their understanding of Quran and Islam.
4 CLOSURE
4.1 Conclusion
From the elaboration above, it can be concluded that
all informants use social media, the average use of
social media is 2 hours a day, they use many types
of social media such as line, whatsapp, Instagram,
ask fm, snap chat, BBM, facebook, twitter, and we
chat. They use social media to communicate with
friends and family, complete the school assignments,
communicate and coordinate among members of
organization, chat and refresh, and some others use
social media to show their existence in order to be
famous.
To improve the understanding of Quran and
Islamic materials from social media, they use
websites and blogs by Google, Yahoo and YouTube.
Through the social media mentioned above, they can
improve their understanding of Quran, they used it
learn about history, worship, wearing veil, the ethics
of mingling with others, even about modern Islamic
law such as bank interest. Thus, the roles of social
media in improving the understanding of Quran are:
as a teacher that is able to answer Islamic issues,
social media facilitates them to answer the problems
they face, social media provides reading tutorial of
classical book without having to stay in Islamic
Boarding School, as a means of learning and
religious proselytizing.
4.2 Suggestions
The writer would like to give some suggestions.
First, for students and all social media users, let's
use social media wisely, to communicate, learn and
proselytize. Second, for the religious proselytizers,
Islamic education teachers, Islamic spirituality
activists, we should be able to use social media as a
means to learn about Islam, to convey Islamic
messages which are easy and fun, and to share the
verse of Quran even though it’s only one verse.
