Abstract

The transformation of Islamic studies in the digital era has brought significant impacts on research methodologies, accessibility to knowledge sources, and challenges related to scholarly authority. The digitization of Islamic literature has enabled broader access to Islamic sources, but it has also raised challenges concerning the validity and authority of these sources. Technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence (AI) have opened new opportunities for Islamic studies to become more empirical. However, the use of these methods also faces potential biases and data manipulation. Additionally, the phenomenon of "digital preachers" emerging on social media has introduced challenges related to scholarly authority, as not all narratives circulating online are academically accountable. This article analyzes the opportunities and challenges faced by Islamic studies in the digital era, emphasizing the need for strengthening digital literacy and academically grounded research methodologies to maintain the credibility of Islamic scholarship. Thus, while digitization offers numerous opportunities, careful management is required to preserve the integrity and authority of Islamic knowledge in the digital space.

Abstract

This qualitative case study examines how the integration of Islamic financial literacy and socio-scientific literacy transforms zakat-paying behaviour among parents of elementary school students and positions zakat as a sustainable financing tool for environmental education. Situated within the SDIT Adzkia educational ecosystem in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia, the study draws on semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving school principals, zakat institution managers, committee members, and parents across three consecutive Ramadhan periods. Findings reveal that prior to structured literacy interventions, institutional zakat collection remained marginal at 0.72 per cent of potential. Following the systematic deployment of integrated literacy programmes combining Islamic financial education with socio-scientific framing of environmental stewardship, collection surged to 5.33 per cent, representing a 7.4-fold increase. The study demonstrates that bridging these two literacy domains creates a synergistic motivational framework in which zakat transcends conventional poverty alleviation to function as a community-driven instrument funding eco-literacy programmes and student-led green initiatives. These findings contribute to the intersection of Islamic philanthropy, science education, and environmental sustainability, offering an evidence-based model for aligning zakat resources with Education for Sustainable Development at the elementary level.
