description Digital transformation has changed the landscape of Islamic da'wah in Indonesia, including in the production and dissemination of exclusive religious discourse by Salafi groups. This study analyzes the Instagram account @ittiba_salaf which consistently frames religious pluralism as a deviation from Islamic creed, by referring to verses of the Qur'an and hadith. This study uses Robert M. Entman's Framing Analysis approach which includes four main elements—problem definition, cause diagnosis, moral evaluation, and solution recommendation—combined with  Ma‘ānī al-H{adīth analysis to reveal the ideological instruments of the use of hadith. The findings show that this account constructs pluralism as a theological and ideological threat, associated with Western liberalism and categorized as a form of kufr. This narrative represents theological reductionism that ignores the complexity of pluralistic Indonesian society. This study emphasizes that digital da'wah not only conveys religious messages, but also becomes an arena for contestation of the meaning and authority of Islam, which requires a moderate hermeneutical approach to bridge theological commitments with the reality of societal diversity.
