Sparked by Israeli strikes on Rafah refugee camps, this campaign leveraged striking visuals and celebrity endorsements to achieve widespread visibility. Through an analysis of viral social media content, the study identifies critical factors driving the campaign’s success, such as the emotional impact of imagery and the heightened credibility brought by influential public figures. The findings demonstrate that these elements not only shifted global perceptions but also inspired tangible actions, including financial contributions and advocacy efforts. While no single factor can fully account for the campaign’s effectiveness, the synergy between compelling visuals, celebrity advocacy, and rapid information sharing emerges as central to advancing humanitarian narratives. These insights contribute to the understanding of effective crisis communication strategies and offer new directions for examining the intersection of media, mobilization, and humanitarian outcomes.

Melalui delapan tahap, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi simbolisme visual, struktur narasi, dan pengembangan karakter yang memadukan horor psikologis dengan kritik sosial-agama. Wawancara dengan penonton menemukan bahwa kuburan dan ritual keagamaan tidak hanya memancing respons estetika, melainkan juga memunculkan diskusi reflektif tentang benturan antara doktrin religius dan kehidupan sehari-hari. Genre horor psikologis berperan memperkuat makna, mengungkap trauma individu dan konflik moral secara mendalam. Pergulatan batin protagonis, yang meragukan ajaran agama karena luka pribadi, menonjolkan relevansi iman dalam situasi modern. Dengan demikian, Siksa Kubur bukan sekadar tontonan, melainkan katalis diskursus mengenai cara agama merespons tantangan sosial. Studi ini menekankan potensi film sebagai mediator penting antara keyakinan religius dan dinamika masyarakat. Rekomendasi penelitian lanjutan difokuskan pada pendalaman penggunaan horor sebagai sarana kritik sosial yang lebih luas dan beragam konteks

The identified negative impacts include the delegitimization of religious teachings and the authority of religious figures. This research utilizes a literature review approach, collecting and analyzing data from various sources such as books, websites, articles, and newspapers related to the application of AI in da'wah. The findings indicate that state intervention is crucial in regulating AI use through three main mechanisms: first, regulation; second, strengthening the roles of relevant actors; and third, supervision. Without proper regulation, the use of AI in da'wah can become unmanageable, leading to disinformation and the erosion of authoritative references. Therefore, this study underscores the importance of state involvement in ensuring that AI is employed ethically and effectively to support da'wah activities in Indonesia. These findings affirm that the state must actively regulate AI to maintain the integrity of religious teachings and the authority of religious figures, as well as to fully harness the positive potential of AI in the context of da'wah.

With insights derived from a spectrum of interpretations and diverse affiliations, this eco-theology provides a foundation for varied understandings and reactions to environmental challenges. The study is designed to synthesize theory and hermeneutics within a critical-qualitative framework, exploring the interplay between theology and ecology. Ecological and theological behavioural theories are employed to elucidate the data. The findings reveal two main aspects: Firstly, the representation of eco-theology in Islam has undergone a metamorphosis, expanding from its role as a catalyst for uniform responses to environmental issues to a factor enriching the dynamics of understanding and response. Secondly, although the network of Islamic eco-theology influences the perspectives of the Muslim community, its capacity to reach a broader spectrum is still limited. The study underscores that Islamic eco-theology plays a pivotal role as a subsystem in navigating responses to environmental crises, particularly in responding to the climate crisis increasingly integrated within the framework of religious thought and practice in Indonesia.
