With the rapid development of the Internet and electronic payment, digital currencies with blockchain as the underlying technology have gradually entered people's horizons and have also received the attention of governments around the world. Due to the convenience and decentralization of digital currency transactions that are not limited by time and region, it has a significant impact on traditional commercial systems around the world, and its core block chain technology may trigger changes in many areas. At present, different countries have different views on the legal status of bitcoin digital currencies, but digital currencies circulate across borders and regions. Once problems arise, it is difficult to have a unified regulatory measure to deal with them.

The analysis of current changes in the modern information space allows us to trace the general tendencies: the new subject and object areas are formed; the number of subjects is expanded; the new formats of interaction within the system of communications of the organization and in society as a whole are created. That means that publishing house’s PR-communications are complicated by the emergence of new elements, such as active audience, social networks as communication channels, promotions on the Internet and others. PR communication in the Internet space is the most effective and inexpensive tool for interaction of publishers with active audiences. Thus, the activation of PR communication in the modern media space is associated with the emergence of the latest information technologies, online media as well as development of Internet. The use of online channels of Internet for communication with the target audience of publishing organizations has certain advantages over traditional media. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the information saturation of media space, which complicates the way of PR-messages of book publishers to the reader.

Seeing the increasingly fast and dangerous growth of the virus, the government urges to stay at home and not carry out daily activities as usual first, because avoiding associations and maintaining distance are one of the main ways to break the chain of the spread of Covid-19. However, limited access to activeness in various sectors is not the reason that the movement of the da'wah movement will stop, one of which is the preaching of the Al-Qur'an. The rapid development of technology, does not limit activities in the field, can still communicate, receive information via the internet, and various social media. So, the preaching of the Al-Qur'an can also be done using social media. There is no obstacle for a Muslim to memorize the Qur'an, so in the midst of a pandemic and busyness, Tahfidz online can become wasilah. Online Tahfidz is implemented by depositing memorization and muroja'ah via Whatsapp by sending voice notes, then it will be corrected by musyrifah who is the group admin. The method used in this research is qualitative by collecting data by observation, interviews, and questionnaires.</em></p><p class="16aJudulAbstrak"><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p class="16bIsiAbstrak">Pandemi Covid-19 sudah menyerang dunia sejak awal tahun 2020. Angka korban yang berjatuhan semakin bertambah termasuk di Indonesia. Melihat pertumbuhan virus yang semakin cepat dan berbahaya, maka pemerintah menghimbau untuk tetap di rumah dan jangan melaksanakan kegiatan sehari-hari seperti biasa dahulu, sebab menghindari perkumpulan dan menjaga jarak adalah salah satu cara utama memutus mata rantai penyebaran Covid-19. Namun terbatasnya akses keaktifan diberbagai sektor tidak menjadi alasan roda pergerakan dakwah pun akan berhenti, salah satunya adalah dakwah Al-Qur’an. Perkembangan teknologi yang semakin pesat, tidak membatasi aktifitas di lapangan, tetap bisa berkomunikasi, menerima informasi melalui internet, dan berbagai media sosial. Maka dakwah Al-Qur’an pun dapat dilakukan dengan media sosial. Tak ada halangan bagi seorang muslim untuk menghafal Al-Qur’an, maka ditengah pandemi dan kesibukan, Tahfidz online dapat menjadi wasilah.
