Abstract
This research is the study of SMS Tauhiid phenomena as a religious practice in the context of media culture. SMS Tauhiid service enables its customer to access religious messages through SMS which is in particular contexts could potentially bring new patterns of religious practice. This article uses the mediatization concept dealing with media studies and political economy as well. I argue that tausiah as (Islamic) religious communication practice have transformed into a new pattern that caused by the accomodative actions that has taken by the religious leaders and actors against media logics. On the one hand, this phenomenon has opened a new phase in disseminating religious messages, however on the other hand mediatization of religion has potential in causing a shift in the role of religious leaders as the religious authorities.
