Abstract

The Islamic Centre, also known as the Institutional Mosque among members of Higher Learning Institutions, serves the same role as a mosque—primarily as a place to perform prayers. However, beyond this, the Islamic Centre should also serve as a hub for the dissemination and delivery of dakwah (Islamic outreach) among the campus community and surrounding society. The study was conducted to identify the challenges and solutions closely related to ensuring that the dissemination of da’wah can be effectively implemented in a university. This study is to ensure that the role of Islamic Centers in the dissemination of dakwah is appropriate according to current conditions. Every program or activity organized should be tailored to suit the target audience or mad’u, so that the objectives of the dakwah can have a positive and meaningful impact. Furthermore, the method of delivering dakwah should be carefully considered to ensure that the knowledge shared resonates effectively with the public.. The use of modern technology in Islamic Centres can enhance the image of religious institutions so they are not left behind in the era of modernity digitalization and the current Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0). In addition, social media channels that are widely used and popular should be studied and utilized so that the Islamic message can reach its intended audience. Dakwah practitioners must learn and understand the use of modern technologies and social media platforms to align with current trends in continuing their dakwah efforts for ongoing development. The role of Islamic Centre administration is also crucial in ensuring that the goals and objectives of making the Islamic Centre the heartbeat of Islamic dakwah dissemination can be successfully realized. Therefore, such a study is suitable to be conducted using a qualitative method
