46 Islamic communication is comprehensive and ethical, which is based on the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah, applied during preaching, in education, and in the media industry as well (Ahmad Zulfiqar, 2025). Even though Islamic communication must keep pace with advances in communication methods, it’s crucial to adapt to digital media platforms to maintain the principles of Islamic communication, in which messages were traditionally delivered through face-to-face lectures, books, and religious places.
