Paper Title: Mapping Islamic Digital Da’wah in Society 5.0: A VOSviewer Bibliometric Analysis
Questions:
Q1) Dr. Khalid Hussain → How can da‘wah practitioners use your mapping to avoid redundancy and instead focus on neglected but critical themes like mental health, AI ethics, or digital spirituality?
Q2) Amna Nazar → Thank you, Mr. Oskar! for the insightful analysis. My question is: Does the bibliometric data suggest that Ethics and Privacy are becoming a central theme in Digital Da wah research, or is the focus still primarily on 'Reach and Engagement?
Q3) Abdulrahman Akanbi Abdulganiyu → Perhaps due to the time factor, I would like to know specifically how these research findings can be beneficial to the local Da'wah practitioners in Indonesia for effective usage.

Presenter: Djubaedi Yunus
Paper Title: Progressive Humanistic Integration: Current Moderate Islamic Education in Indonesia
Question:
Q1) MALAYSIA_Mamdukh Budiman → Dear Mr Hadi, My Name is Mamdukh Budiman PhD, UNIV MUH MALAYSIA, UMAM my Research About Islamic Progressivism Muhammadiyah, I would like to ask you, How can the epistemological legitimacy of al-‘urf (custom and tradition) in usul al-fiqh be reconciled with the manhaj tarjih, which tends to emphasize a textual-bayānī approach? Does the incorporation of al-‘urf in tarjih renewal potentially deviate from Muhammadiyah’s normative methodology? If tarjih renewal accommodates local customs as a legal consideration, what methodological boundaries must be established to prevent legal relativism in Islamic law? Within the framework of Progressive Islam (Islam Berkemajuan), does the integration of al-‘urf into the methodology of tarjih represent a legitimate contextual ijtihad, or does it indicate inconsistency with the principle of returning to the Qur’an and Sunnah?
