Abstract

Digital platforms are increasingly reshaping the landscape of Islamic knowledge by embedding Qur’an and Hadith within subscription-based business ecosystems. This study examines how platform-based models transform sacred texts into monetized digital services, drawing on illustrative cases such as emerging platforms like Kitabpedia and AI-assisted tools such as KhutbahAI that offer paid access to curated Islamic content. Using a qualitative approach, the research employs digital observation and critical interpretive analysis to explore the structural, epistemological, and ethical dimensions of these platforms. The findings indicate that religious knowledge is increasingly reconfigured as personalized, scalable, and commodified digital content, while religious authority undergoes a significant shift from scholar-centered legitimacy toward platform-mediated and algorithmically structured authority. In this emerging configuration, the visibility and credibility of religious knowledge are increasingly shaped not only by ulama or institutional scholarship, but also by algorithmic ranking systems and user engagement metrics. At the same time, the integration of market logic into sacred domains generates tensions related to access inequality, authenticity, and the ethical limits of monetization within Islamic business principles. The study proposes the concept of a “Platformized Sacred Economy” to capture this transformation, offering a novel analytical lens that bridges digital religion, platform capitalism, and Islamic ethics, with implications for the governance of religious content in digital environments.

Abstract

This study aims to uncover the structure of the hadith network in Al-Munir magazine, with a particular focus on three main aspects: the distribution of hadith, the centralization of textual sources, and the works that function as authoritative references. This research employs a Social Network Analysis (SNA) approach by mapping 25 hadith citations from 54 issues of the magazine. The data were analyzed using degree centrality, betweenness centrality, eigenvector centrality, and 2-mode cohesion, utilizing UCINET 6.813, based on references to the Kutub al-Tis’ah. The findings indicate that 19 citations present hadith in their original Arabic form, while 1 hadith is a translation provided by the magazine’s authors; meanwhile, 35 sections do not cite any hadith at all. In terms of hadith authenticity, 54% are classified as ṣaḥīḥ with uninterrupted chains of transmission (sanad), 1% as ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ, and the remaining 45% as ḍaʿīf, primarily due to deficiencies in their chains of transmission. Sunan Abū Dāwūd emerges as the primary broker (betweenness = 20.000), functioning as a bridge among canonical texts. Musnad Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal appears as the most prominent source, with the highest out-degree (7.000) and eigenvector centrality (0.441), indicating its role as an open and inclusive repository. Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim is more active in disseminating references compared to Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, highlighting a distinction between active and passive forms of authority. The high level of transitivity (0.669) reveals a collective mechanism of legitimacy based on cross-textual confirmation. Based on these findings, the study concludes that the Kaum Mudo did not reject tradition; rather, they reconstructed religious authority based on principles of interconnectivity, contextual relevance, and social function. Print media functioned as a tool for redistributing authority, shifting the study of hadith from a hierarchical discipline toward a more open and responsive system of knowledge.
