Digital Muslim Review
ISSN : -     EISSN : 30263514     DOI : https://doi.org/10.32678/dmr
Digital Muslim Review focuses on a landscape view of Islam and Muslim societies in a digital world, paying attention to how its various approaces embody new ways of analysis and critical thinking. The journal discusses ongoing debates in digital Islam within the Muslim world, such as defining the terms of digital Islam, the question of whether digital Islam has (or needs) theoretical grounding, controversies over new models of peer review for digital scholarship, themes related to wider issues in digital projects, and problematic questions surrounding research involving “big data”. A number of the main concerns are to explore a broad spectrum of perspectives on digital Islam; to engage with a variety of digital Islam tools in order to apply the most appropriate technology to facilitate different works in different circumstances; to develop familiarity with a range of digital Islam projects, as well as the ability to evaluate the tools and methods used in those projects; and to become more critical and capable users of digital tools, technologies, and spaces by understanding that all contemporary technologies in the Muslim world are complex, human-driven, and influencing Muslim societies socially, culturally, economically, and politically.

Abstract

This study explores the challenges and opportunities faced by The Idrisiyyah Order, a prominent Sufi order in Indonesia, in adapting to the digital era. Key challenges include preserving traditional values amidst digital influences, managing data privacy and security, and providing digital education to members with limited technological skills. The research highlights how The Idrisiyyah Order leverages digital technologies such as mobile applications and e-commerce platforms to enhance its social and economic initiatives. Using a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design focused on The Idrisiyyah Order in Tasikmalaya, the study examines how these innovations enable the order to market local products globally, empower small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and integrate digital strategies into economic and spiritual development. Findings indicate that the order's digital initiatives promote economic empowerment, social cohesion, and spiritual education. The effective use of media for da'wah, strategic management of digital content, and adoption of crowdfunding platforms for humanitarian projects illustrate the potential of technology to enhance both material and spiritual dimensions of life. The study concludes that The Idrisiyyah Order’s approach fosters a harmonious integration of traditional practices and modern advancements, contributing to community welfare and spiritual growth.

Abstract

Technological advances have transformed the presentation of tafsir (Qur’an commentary) across various media, from oral traditions to manuscripts, printed books, and now digital platforms. This study explores whether these platforms merely serve as vessels or actively influence a mufassir’s (Qur’an interpreter’s) approach. Focusing on Tafsir al-Qur’an Aktual, published on Bangsaonline.com, it examines how the medium affects interpretative processes. Written by Ahmad Musta’in Syafi’i, a prominent pesantren leader in East Java, this tafsir has appeared in Harian Bangsa newspaper since March 2000, marking the first Indonesian tahlīli tafsir in a newspaper. Employing Howard Giles’ Communication Accommodation Theory, the study reveals that the newspaper medium shaped Musta’in’s interpretations to accommodate lay readers. This influence is reflected in his language style, word choice, and the inclusion of Javanese terms. He also links verses to everyday events to ensure relevance for his audience. However, the study identifies instances of “overaccommodation,” where Musta’in connects verses to contemporary sociopolitical issues, occasionally deviating from their original meanings. This phenomenon, termed “obsessiveactualization,” underscores the media’s role in shaping a mufassir’s interpretative process.

Abstract

This study investigates the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) within the Muslim community in Denmark, focusing on digital engagement and its impact on religious and community activities. The study aims to understand how perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, self-efficacy, attitude, and behavioural intention influence the acceptance of digital platforms among Muslim users. Using a structured questionnaire and analysing responses with Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) using AMOS, the study identifies significant predictors of technology acceptance and their interrelationships in the context of digital Islam. The results demonstrate that all hypotheses are supported, indicating a strong influence of perceived ease of use and self-efficacy on both attitude towards technology and its perceived usefulness. This study contributes to the broader discourse on digital Islam, offering insights into how digital tools can enhance religious and social interactions within Muslim communities. The findings provide practical implications for designing culturally sensitive digital solutions tailored to the needs of the Muslim community in Denmark, with a unique unit analysis that provides readers with new knowledge in this field.

Abstract

Halal food is a crucial concern for Muslim students in countries with a minority Muslim population, such as South Korea, where less than 35,000 Muslims reside among a predominantly non-religious population. To address halal food accessibility, various applications have been developed. This study identifies the most commonly used halal food applications by Muslim students in South Korea and evaluates their acceptance levels using a mixed-methods approach. Data were collected through interviews and questionnaires based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Findings indicate that Mufko (Halal Food Korea) and Mobpay (Halal Food Korea) are the most frequently used applications, both scoring in the “excellent” category for user acceptance. These applications are highlyeffective and strongly recommended for addressing the halal food needs of Muslim students in South Korea.

Abstract

This study critically examines the depiction of women’s inequality in digital films, focusing on gender disparity rooted in patriarchal culture, which endures despite Islam’s emphasis on justice and equality. The shifting behaviour of audiences in accessing information, education, and entertainment situates digital films as a powerful medium for advancing gender equality, harnessing the influence of mass media to reshape religious and cultural values. This research analyses three significant films: Yuni, Photocopier, and Before, Now and Then, chosen for their emphasis on gender equality, wide audience appeal, and recognition through national and international awards. Employing Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis, the study explores textual, discursive, and socio-cultural dimensions. The findings reveal that, textually, the films highlight women’s struggles with injustice, discrimination, and violence. The discursive dimension emphasises the need for women to assert their rights and the propagation of Islamic teachings that promote gender equality and universal compassion. From a socio-cultural perspective, the study underlines that systemic injustice will persist unless concerted efforts are made to challenge patriarchal dominance and societal authority over women through the medium of film.

Abstract

This article examines the phenomenon of cancel culture among Muslims in Indonesia, focusing on its manifestation on social media and its impact on divisions and perceptions of Islam. The study highlights prominent cases, including Ahok and Tuan Guru Mizan, which demonstrate how cancel culture fosters polarisation among conservative, moderate, and liberal Muslim groups, while reinforcing negative stereotypes of Islam as intolerant. Using qualitative methods and digital ethnography, I observe and documents the practice of cancel culture through the Trending Topic X and Google Trend features. It explores the dynamics of cancel culture, its implications for freedom of expression, and advocates for a dialogical approach rooted in Islamic values to address these challenges. This study aims to contribute to academic discourse on Digital Humanities within Islamic Studies and underscores the importance of fostering unity within Indonesia’s Muslim society.

Abstract

This paper examines how Facebook is transforming religious authority and amplifying sectarian discussions through digital sermons (waʿẓ) delivered by three prominent preach-ers in Bangladesh: Shaykh Dr. Muzaffar b. Mohsin, Muftī Rezaul Karim Abrar, and Muftī Gias Uddin Tahery. Using a netnographic approach, we analyse the discourses promoted in their sermon videos on Facebook. We demonstrate how Facebook incentivises religious leaders to intensify sectarianism in order to increase online engagement and reinforce their authority. Thus, although the Internet—specifically Facebook—is often assumed to have the potential to connect the Muslim umma, it simultaneously exacerbates sectarian divi-sions, with significant implications for both religious and social dynamics in Bangladesh.

Abstract

This paper examines the presence of female scholars in digital spaces, with a focus on their roles, contributions, and the challenges they face. Employing a qualitative method- ology, the study utilises data collection techniques such as a literature review of scholarly articles and relevant online sources. The digital data examined in this research comprises scholarly articles and pertinent online resources. The data analysis employs thematic anal- ysis to identify patterns and key themes, providing a deeper understanding of the phe- nomenon under investigation. The findings reveal that female scholars, such as Ustadzah Halimah Alaydrus, Ning Imaz Fatimatuz Zahra, and Umi Lailatul Rahma Adi, play a piv- otal role in shaping religious discourse in the digital realm. However, they face numerous challenges, including online harassment and gender discrimination. The implications of this study emphasise the necessity of fostering inclusive digital environments that support the full participation of women on various online platforms. Additionally, the research ad- vocates for continued investigation and dialogue to advance gender equality within Islamic scholarship and to promote inclusive approaches to Islamic thought in the digital age.

Abstract

The digitalisation of da’wah refers to the utilisation of online platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter to disseminate Islamic teachings. This transition from traditional to digital da’wah is being embraced by three online Islamic communities: NU Garis Lucu, AISNU, and Pondok Sanad. The primary question this study addresses is: How do these online da’wah communities employ digital platforms to propagate Islamic teachings, and how do consumers of digital da’wah respond to these methods? The study aims to analyse the da’wah methods employed by these communities and to explore how consumers of digital da’wah engage with them, including their preferences and the platforms they favour. A mixed-methods approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative research, is employed. Qualitative data is gathered through interviews with community members and consumers of digital da’wah, alongside direct observations of the activities of the three communities. For the quantitative component, a survey of 100 respondents examines their reactions to digital da’wah. The findings reveal that NU Garis Lucu, AISNU, and Pondok Sanad adopt gentle, non-violent methods (Al-mauizah hasanah) and tailor their approaches to different contexts (Al-hikmah). The methods employed by these communities were generally well received by the respondents.

Abstract

The digital era has revolutionised daily life by integrating work, education, communication, entertainment, and commerce. This shift profoundly affects communities with strong cultural and religious identities, such as Muslims in Indonesia. This study explores the opportunities and challenges faced by Indonesian Muslims in adapting to digital transformation. Key challenges include limited technology access, ethical concerns in digital content, and potential threats to religious and cultural identity. Employing a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis, the study finds that digital technology improves educational access, fosters economic growth through e-commerce, and strengthens Islamic da’wah. However, digital inequality, moral dilemmas, and cultural erosion remain pressing issues. To address these, strategic recommendations include enhancing digital literacy, creating relevant Islamic content, leveraging social media for da’wah, and promoting innovation in Islamic business. These findings aim to help Indonesian Muslims navigate the digital era while preserving their religious and cultural values.
