Abstract

One of the obstacles faced in the transfer of knowledge during the pandemic is digital literacy problems. This is also experienced by the du^at (Islamic preachers) of Persis Jabar, an Islamic Union in West Java area. They cannot hold recitations offline like the regular days before pandemic but they still have to convey the religious knowledge to their congregation online. However, the use of digital media to preach and carry out other Islamic activities is still not optimal, especially for young adult people as digital natives. This study aims to provide an overview of digital literacy of Persis Jabar^s muslim millennials using descriptive quantitative method. The population and the sample are all Millennial Muslim Digital Literacy training participants. The results show that they own various abilities in digital literacy, namely information and data literacy, communication and collaboration, digital content production, safety, and problem solving. The result, in other hand, shows that their digital literacy skills are not always applied when using digital media.
