Abstract

This article examines the involvement of faith-based organizations, especially Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) Tasikmalaya, in the political process in Indonesia. Through a religious communication approach, this research focuses on how the religious messages conveyed by the organization affect people's political views and behaviors. In addition, this article analyzes various forms of political involvement of NU Tasikmalaya, such as campaigns, advocacy, and voter mobilization, as well as the social impact of such involvement. In the digital era, the role of social media in spreading political messages is also discussed, given the increasing influence of technology in religious communication. This study contributes to a broader understanding of the role of faith-based organizations in Indonesia's political landscape and the social impact it has caused.
