Abstract

In the social sphere, the development of religion requires "explanation" which has credibility to explain and convey religious messages. In reality, however, religious authority is not static, but dynamic. In its development, religion requires an explanation to reach its adherents. In Islam, the authorities interpret the Qur'anic verses, issue laws and give religious fatwas given to people who have met certain criteria, whether those relating to the integrity of personality, as well as those related to the mastery of the knowledge used to extract from the source of Islam. This paper describes descriptively the phenomenon of the so-called "new media" era that has implications for religious authority, so that there has been a shift in the religious authority from the concept of conventional authority to this new media authority. In this paper also presented the effect of change of this authority in Islamic society both from the methodology aspects of the field of religious sciences and its effects on the practice of Islamic teachings.
