Abstract

Backround: Generation Z, born and raised in the digital era, maintains a strong connection with technology particularly social media—as a primary source of information, including in the domain of Islamic understanding. Objective: This article examines how social media influences the Islamic understanding of Generation Z, encompassing both its benefits and challenges. Social media provides rapid and accessible pathways to diverse Islamic resources, offering interactive platforms such as digital lectures, online discussions, and supportive virtual communities that facilitate religious identity exploration. Method: This study employs a qualitative method with a case study approach to analyze the influence of social media on the Islamic understanding of Generation Z. Findings and Implications: The findings indicate that social media provides a broad range of resources that aid in religious education, including digital lectures and interactive online communities. However, challenges such as misinformation, distorted teachings, and short-form content that lacks depth are prevalent. These factors contribute to a fragmented understanding of Islam among Generation Z. The study also highlights the need for strategic approaches to foster digital literacy and collaborate with scholars and content creators to ensure that Islamic content is accurate and contextually grounded. Conclusion: While social media has the potential to enhance Islamic understanding among Generation Z, it also poses risks related to the spread of misinformation and radical ideologies. To address these issues, it is crucial to cultivate digital literacy, ensure the production of credible Islamic content, and encourage collaboration between scholars and digital platforms.

Abstract

Karachi Port is a critical gateway for Pakistan’s international trade; however, its inventory management remains constrained by fragmented information systems, manual documentation, limited real-time cargo visibility, and weak coordination among stakeholders. These challenges hinder operational efficiency, delay cargo movement, and restrict the scalability of inventory operations. This study aims to examine the scalability of inventory management at Karachi Port and evaluate the contributions of real-time inventory systems, dynamic capabilities, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) adoption, and data-driven efficiency to operational performance. A quantitative cross-sectional survey design was employed involving 32 stakeholders directly engaged in inventory and supply chain operations at Karachi Port. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling combined with snowball sampling. Data were collected through a structured 15-item Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, reliability analysis, and multiple linear regression with SPSS. The findings indicate that IoT/RFID integration achieved the highest descriptive mean, followed by dynamic capabilities and CRM adoption. Correlation analysis revealed significant positive associations between scalability and IoT/RFID integration, dynamic capabilities, and CRM adoption. However, regression analysis demonstrated that CRM adoption was the only significant independent predictor of inventory management scalability. These findings imply that strengthening stakeholder coordination through a centralized CRM-based Port Community System should be prioritized before expanding IoT/RFID implementation, thereby providing a practical roadmap for improving operational efficiency, cargo visibility, and sustainable scalability at Karachi Port.
