The Role of Politics in Preserving Islamic Culture in the Modern Era

Use of Media and Technology

In the use of media and technology, the role of politics and government can make policies to develop digital infrastructure by developing digital applications and platforms. The government can invest in technological infrastructure and encourage the development of digital applications and platforms that provide Islamic educational content such as digital Qur'an, hadith, religious lessons, and Islamic history and the government can use social media platforms to disseminate information and education about Islamic culture. Governments can work with influencers and religious leaders to spread positive and educative messages.

Thus, the development of media and technology is an example of the implementation of governments' policies in the field of media and technology, such as the Digital Qur'an: by creating a digital Qur'an, it makes it easier for Muslims and many countries have developed digital versions of the Qur'an equipped with translations, tafsir, and audio recitations that make it easier for people to learn and practice Islamic teachings and governments also create Islamic Education Platforms, platforms such as Bayyinah and SeekersHub provide online courses on various aspects of Islamic teachings and culture, which can be accessed from anywhere in the world.

Conduct Diplomacy and International Relations to other Muslim countries

Governments can also work together by collaborating internationally, working with global partnerships, working with international organizations such as UNESCO to maintain and preserve Islamic cultural heritage sites. 

This can include restoring historical buildings, excavating archaeological sites, and preserving ancient manuscripts that have historical value to Islamic culture and building partnerships with other Islamic countries to develop technological projects that support the preservation of Islamic culture and conducting student and academic exchanges and international internship programs to enable the younger generation to learn and understand Islamic culture more deeply For example, sending Muslim students abroad or receiving foreign students in Muslim countries to learn about Islamic culture and traditions.

Preserving Islamic culture can be done by promoting Islamic culture through international activities such as Muslim-majority countries can organize cultural festivals, art exhibitions, and international conferences featuring Islamic art, music, literature, and traditions. These events not only attract international attention but also increase understanding and appreciation of Islamic culture.

Law Enforcement

The role of politics and government in preserving Islamic culture must also implement law enforcement policies to protect human rights, Strong enforcement of laws against violence against Muslim communities is key to creating a safe environment for the preservation of Islamic culture. 

Enforcing the law can be done by providing support to Islamic creative industries such as creating a joint project to digitize the collections of major Islamic libraries or creating an international Islamic education platform. The government must also enforce laws to provide protection for copyright and Islamic cultural artworks and Islamic politics must be able to maintain a balance between religion and state. This requires the integration of Islamic principles with the principles of democracy, religious freedom, and human rights.

Thus, through these measures the government can play a key role in maintaining and preserving Islamic culture in the Modern Era. The role of politics in preserving Islamic culture in the modern era is vast and covers many aspects of life.
