                  Moslem people must use Cyberspace as a space for

               Allah  and  just  for  Allah  SWT.  There  is  a  good
               example about moslem communities using Internet for
               spreading Islamic  values. A channel whose intention
               is to be a means of support through useful content for
               Muslims who believe with Allah through the guidance
               given through the Qur’an and only the Qur’an (10:37,
               17:46),  named  is  “Muslims  for  Allah”  in  Youtube.
               Internet users could subscribe “Muslims For Allah” in
               Youtube        channel      by      clicking     this     link
               https://www.youtube.com/channel.
                  Comparing  about  that  channel,  there  is  also  a
               channel that has purpose for Islamic  dakwah, named
               Peace TV, maintained by Dr. Zakir Naik, but based on
               some  academic  researchs,  this  figure  is  still  a
               controversial one. In Islam, there is no grey area, there
               is  only  heaven  and  hell,  white  and  black,  halal  or
               haram.  This  paper  can  not  judge  Peace  TV  channel,
               but  we  can  only  aware  about  islamic  programs,
               whether  they  are  spreading  Islamic  dakwah  which
               contains  peace  values,  or  just  making  provocations
               and saying those provocations in the name of Islam.
               Moslem people must think like Abduh: “In line with
               modernity,  but  being  aware  about  the  misuse  of
               modernity itself”.
                  Promoting  Islam  in  Cyberspace  is  not  easy  for
               every  moslem  majority  countries.  In  the  context  of
               Indonesia, there are many challenges, such as:
