DINAMIKA ISLAM DALAM BINGKAI KEBUDAYAAN POPULER: STUDI CYBER CULTURE DI INDONESIA DAN MALAYSIA

Abstract

Islam is a religion based on the revelation of God's word in the Al-Qur'an, the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad, and the laws (shariah) which guide the behavior of its adherents. In its development, Islam was framed in various forms of ritual behavior to entertainment. This phenomenon is an inevitability that occurs during the modernization era. Islamic soap operas, influencers wearing hijabs, special magazines containing Islamic content, social media pages, special Ramadan edition food offerings in various fast food places, as well as content containing Islamic quotes fill the media landscape of Muslim countries in Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia and Malaysia. Ideas, sounds, images and meanings about Islam abound in contemporary popular culture including film, music, television, radio, comics, fashion, magazines and cyber culture. Mass-mediated, commercialized, fun-filled, humorous, and representative of large segments of society or communities, popular forms and practices are at the heart of the definition and meaning of contemporary Islam. These forms and accompanying practices of Islamic production, circulation, marketing and interpretation are part of everyday Islamic life in Southeast Asia today
