The religion of Islam, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, continues to evolve over time, with Indonesia being a Muslim-majority country with a population of approximately 229.62 million people (87.2% of the total population). With the world's Muslim population projected to reach 2.2 billion by 2030, Indonesia accounts for around 13.1% of the global Muslim population. This study aims to examine the role of social media as a means of da'wah, the challenges faced, and solutions to overcome these challenges. Through a survey involving 76 respondents, it was found that the utilization of social media for Islamic da'wah content is still relatively low; the majority of respondents only occasionally search for and rarely share da'wah content. Challenges in da'wah in the era of globalization include laziness to access content, diverse preferences for preachers and methods, and the existence of invalid content. The findings suggest the need for more effective strategies to increase public interest and participation in da'wah through social media

Communication is a very important activity in life, including in the context of education. This study aims to explore the level of communication between students and teachers and its impact on the learning atmosphere. In education, effective communication between teachers and students plays a key role in forming a smooth and conducive learning process. This study shows that a two-way relationship between teachers and students can improve students' understanding of the material and learning motivation. The results of the study convey that communication barriers, such as language disparities and an unsupported learning environment, can interfere with the learning process. Therefore, it is crucial to identify these barriers in order to apply effective tactics to overcome them and improve the quality of learning. A friendly, concise, and attentive teacher communication style has been shown to create a more enjoyable and productive learning experience. This study also emphasizes the importance of shared communication that can influence students' emotions and empathy, as a result of creating a conducive and effective learning atmosphere. Overall, this study is needed to contribute theory and practice to understanding the dynamics of communication in education, and as a basis for teachers to improve the quality of communication in the learning process.

Academic stress is a common challenge experienced by students due to the burden and pressure in higher education environments. This study conducted a systematic literature analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based psychological interventions and social support in addressing academic stress. By reviewing various empirical studies from leading journals, it was found that mindfulness—through techniques such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)—is beneficial in reducing stress, anxiety, and improving students' emotional regulation and learning focus. In addition, social support from family, friends, and the campus environment acts as a stress buffer by providing emotional support and a sense of connectedness. An approach that combines mindfulness and social support has shown more effective results in helping students manage academic stress. Therefore, it is recommended that higher education institutions develop programs that integrate these two interventions to improve students' mental well-being sustainably.
