Peran Kalam Tv Dalam Pemahaman Keagamaan Usia Madya

This study examines the role of Kalam TV as an Islamic da'wah medium in supporting the religious understanding of middle-aged congregants at Majlis Ta'lim Samara, Bogor. It also explores how da'wah materials and delivery methods respond to the spiritual needs of this audience. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach with a case-study design. Data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion verification. Source triangulation involved congregants and a key informant from the majlis management, while theoretical interpretation drew on Uses and Gratifications, Islamic da'wah communication, and mass-media effects. The findings indicate that Kalam TV supports religious understanding across cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. Congregants described broader knowledge of Qur'anic interpretation, jurisprudence, family matters, and worship; stronger motivation for self-reflection, patience, and spiritual calm; and practical efforts such as improving Qur'an recitation, maintaining worship routines, giving charity, and sharing recorded lessons. The relevance of thematic content, accessible language, credible preachers, and on-demand YouTube access supported these outcomes. However, some participants noted that Qur'anic explanations should be delivered more slowly and systematically.
