- Abstract
Students born during the digitalisation era, which is characterised by rapid advancements in information technology, are influenced by the news revolution, which encourages them to be highly engaged with information via social media and inexpensive internet access. As a result of the emergence of this de-digitalization, a popular Islamic movement emerged, prompting clergy to desire a return to Islamic teachings in their original form, but in a modern context. This type of Islam aspires to project an image that is moderate and modern. This movement is characterised by the emergence of a fashion trend among Muslim students. This movement has also permeated the world of hijrah, a recently emerging student trend. The strategy of the hijrah movement is intriguing because it is neither strict nor monotonous. Activists frequently adopt the strategy of utilising pop culture to attract the attention of millennials. They employ memes, photos, and video content wrapped in the language of young people across all social media platforms. To speed the creation of the Hijrah concept, its activists also publish books with appealing covers and motivational and aesthetically pleasing content. This movement’s activists are adept in adapting religion by offering cutting-edge products with an Islamic image, such as key chain trinkets and t-shirts with Islamic themes, which allows them to attract the attention of young people. The most important aspect of hijab accessories is that they appear syar’i, although varying in style and colour. Thus, it would be interesting to do scientific research with a psychiatric viewpoint on religion psychology strategy on the phenomenon of the students hijrah spread, seeking to reveal the motivations and psychological dynamics among them as well as the extent to which religion influences their religious and social lives, including how they perceive people or Islamic groups who are different from them. This study aimed to determine what prompted students to follow the hijrah trend and the religious psychological processes they encountered. This investigation falls within the genre of qualitative research. This study included participation from students from Itera, Polynela, and IIB Darmajaya. In this study, interviews, documentation, and observation were used as instruments for collecting data. The data were subjected to technical analysis; initially, the data were reduced by choosing, categorising, and sorting. Second, data exploration was carried out to clarify and expand the obtained data. Thirdly, data verification was performed to demonstrate the correctness of current data by cross-referencing it with additional data. The fourth stage was data contextualization, which consisted of combining data from the field with data from library research. As part of a comparative study, the processed data were compared using predetermined criteria.
