The transformation of information and communication technology has brought significant changes in various aspects of life, including Islamic da'wah. Muhammadiyah, as one of the largest Islamic organizations in Indonesia, faces the challenge of adapting to digital trends to ensure its da'wah messages remain relevant and effective in reaching a broader and more diverse audience. This study aims to identify the digital da'wah strategies used by Muhammadiyah, analyze the effectiveness of Muhammadiyah's digital da'wah approaches in conveying moderate messages, and evaluate the challenges faced in the digitalization process of da'wah and how Muhammadiyah addresses them.

This research uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology following the Prisma Guidelines to identify, disseminate, and analyze all relevant studies. The results show that Muhammadiyah's use of digital platforms, such as social media, podcasts, and official websites, has significantly increased engagement and interaction with the audience. This digital approach has also proven effective in strengthening the narrative of Islamic moderation and reducing the influence of radicalism. Challenges include technological adaptation, content quality and consistency, online interaction management, and the dissemination of accurate and moderate information.

The implications of this research indicate that by continuously innovating and adapting to the development of information technology, Muhammadiyah can ensure that its digital da'wah remains effective and relevant. This research offers new perspectives on the development of Muhammadiyah's da'wah in the digital era with a focus on responses to Islamic moderation, providing recommendations for improving da'wah strategies in the future. The novelty of this research lies in a holistic approach that combines strategic analysis and evaluation of digital da'wah effectiveness in the context of Islamic moderation and radicalism challenges.

This research analyzes the experience of providing character education for new students at UMM. The aim is to find a paradigm model for forming student characters with multicultural characteristics in an educational environment with a religious background. Two things were found in qualitative research on special programs. First, the construction of character education aims to form student personalities capable of leading at the initial level and have insight into Islamic values. For this purpose, an integrative curriculum consists of four components: personality formation, leadership, academic skills, and Islam. Islamic values are used here as the cultural and moral basis for building student character. Second, an experiential learning approach is used in the learning process. A learning process that emphasizes experience starts with experiencing, reflecting on experiences through meaning, forming abstract concepts, and then applying them to situations. This approach is further strengthened by several learning methods: lectures, simulations, discussions, role plays, self-assessments, case studies, and outbound.

Muhammadiyah was born by an intelligent and religious person; he was Muhammad Darwis, better known as Ahmad Dahlan, who initiated Muhammadiyah on November 18, 1912, as the first and most prominent Muslim organization with the agenda of renewing Muslim religious practices, establishing modern schools, preaching religion (tablig) as well as publishing magazines and newspapers. Besides being puritanical regarding religion, Muhammadiyah also laid the foundation for modern solid education and activities in contact with social and religious matters. Provide a positive image in the international world. Muhammadiyah has also placed itself in the middle (tawasuth) so that Muhammadiyah always holds a moderate view with the Koran and As-Sunnah as its foundation. Even Muhammadiyah does not want to be identified with any ideology or group. And not getting caught up in practical politics, Muhammadiyah upholds noble, populist political values that are fair to all human beings to be used as a role model in Islamic behaviour.
