Abstract

The era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 has led people’s lives and cultures into the digital world. Sending messages has been done through various digital applications, including WhatsApp. This study aims to explain the literacy of prayer texts, especially those in the Sundanese regional language, through social media. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. The source of data is WhatsApp social media. Data was collected by documentation and interview techniques. Data processing using immediate constituent analysis techniques and hermeneutic techniques. The study results found that the prayer text in social media WhatsApp has a textual structure in the form of a schematic layout, a semantic design, and a tactical system. Schematic Structure organizes the texts of BME (Beginning, Middle, and End). Thematic Structure refers to CGD macro rules (construction, generalization, and deletion). Tactic Structure refers to S2LR elements (semantics, syntax, lexicon, and rhetoric). In addition, the prayer text on social media can increase the literacy of the addressee. This thing can be understood because, besides reading the prayer’s text, which can increase religious knowledge and faith in God Almighty, it must also be written in response to the answer to confirm or approve the prayer. The answer varies; some are in Sundanese, and some are in Arabic or Latin script.
