Khazanah Journal of Religion and Technology
The Khazanah Journal of Religion and Technology is dedicated to advancing the understanding of the complex relationship between religion and technology. The journal aims to serve as a platform for publishing original research that explores the intersection of these two domains, focusing on recent and contemporary media and technology. The journal welcomes empirical research that investigates how religious ideas and practices are communicated, studied, represented, enforced, and countered through various technological means. This includes but is not limited to the examination of religion in films, social media, games, websites, applications, and television. We invite researchers to contribute studies that shed light on the diverse aspects of the interaction between religion and technology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to The role of technology in religious communication, Exploring how religious communities and individuals utilize technology to disseminate religious messages, engage with believers, and foster virtual religious experiences. Digital religious practices and rituals, Investigating the emergence and impact of online religious practices, virtual religious communities, and digital rituals. Religion and social media, Examining the influence of social media platforms on religious discourse, religious identity formation, and religious movements. Religious representation in media and popular culture: Analyzing the portrayal of religion, religious figures, and religious narratives in films, television shows, video games, and other forms of media. Ethical implications of religious technology, Addressing ethical considerations and challenges arising from the integration of technology into religious practices, such as data privacy, digital surveillance, and the preservation of religious authenticity. Technological innovations in religious institutions, Investigating how religious institutions adopt and adapt to new technologies, including the development of religious websites, applications, virtual reality experiences, and interactive installations. While the journal encourages research from diverse religious traditions, literary genres, and geographic areas, the emphasis remains on contemporary and recent phenomena in the realm of religion and technology. Theological writings, however, fall outside the scope of the journal and are not typically accepted for publication. The Khazanah Journal of Religion and Technology seeks to foster interdisciplinary scholarship, encouraging contributions from researchers in fields such as religious studies, media studies, communication studies, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and computer science. The journal aims to contribute to the social-scientific conversation and promote a nuanced understanding of the dynamic relationship between religion and technology in todays digital age.

<![CDATA[Many academic works examine religious media institutions and media content producers operating in European countries, including Hungary, but most of them do so in an isolated way, mostly focusing on a particular content producer. The present study aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the operation of religious content producers in Hungary in a broader context, which considers the overall media system from a legal and economic point of view. First, we give a short retrospective overview about the history of Hungarian church press. Afterwards we examine the current legal framework for audiovisual regulation in Hungary. The conclusions are based on data obtained using three different methodologies. We have analyzed the freely accessible records of the Hungarian media authority (NMHH) and legislation, conducted a total of 6 in-depth interviews and an analysis of the content produced by each media outlet. The results of our research showed that in Hungary there is a disconnect between the concepts of church and religious media and that churches have hardly any comprehensive strategy to exploit the potential of digitalization. It can be concluded that church-owned media with religious content cannot be included in the present legal and economic framework without problems. Finally, an important question is whether and how church media are adapting to the changed environment. Our case studies show that the picture is mixed in this respect, because there is a lack of a coherent strategy among the actors on how service providers can adapt as effectively as possible to the new technological consumption patterns.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper presents a sociological exploration of the digital worship practices of the Salvation Ministries in Port Harcourt. It investigates the impact of technology on the members’ and how it engages their relationship with the Divine. Utilizing qualitative research, including interviews with members and analysis of online reviews, the study examines the role of digital worship in fostering relationships between members and the divine. It employs the Media and Technological Determinism theories to examine this relationship in depth. The paper also examines the implications of the emergence of the “God from Machine” in worship services, arguing that worshippers are constructing a new type of connection that transforms their religious experiences. The findings demonstrate that digital worship has significantly expanded the reach of Salvation Ministries beyond its physical boundaries. Virtual sermons and prayer sessions have strengthened the sense of community among members, facilitating easier connections with leaders and fellow worshippers. However, caution is advised regarding the potential risks of excessive reliance on technology, diminished personal interaction, and substituting genuine spiritual experiences. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the importance of balancing embracing technology and preserving the authenticity and sincerity of spiritual practices.]]>

<![CDATA[Skin disease is a common health problem in Islamic boarding school environments. This disease can spread quickly among students due to close contact and sharing the same facilities. Preventing the spread of skin diseases is a top priority in efforts to maintain the health and welfare of students in Islamic boarding schools. In this research, we propose the use of machine learning techniques to predict skin diseases in Islamic boarding school students. The main goal of this research is to develop a predictive model that can help identify skin diseases quickly and accurately. It is hoped that this will enable the prevention of the spread of skin diseases in the Islamic boarding school environment. The method used in this research involves the following steps: skin disease image data collection, data processing and cleaning, feature extraction from patient data, and machine learning model training and evaluation. We will use a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) machine learning algorithm to build a predictive model. The dataset used in this research consists of images of melanoma, acne and acne skin diseases. In addition, validation will be carried out using data that has never been seen before to test the performance of the predictive model. It is hoped that the results of this research can make a significant contribution in preventing the spread of skin diseases in the Islamic boarding school environment. With accurate predictive models, health workers in Islamic boarding schools can take appropriate preventive measures to control skin diseases effectively. Apart from that, this research can also be a basis for developing a health information system that supports preventive measures for skin diseases in Islamic boarding schools more widely.]]>

<![CDATA[This research aims to make it easier to memorize the Koran without having to need other people. Memorizers of the Koran (hafiz) often need other people to memorize them to find out if there are errors in their reading. Therefore, this research utilizes machine learning technology to make it easier to read and memorize the Al-Qur'an using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm. CNN was chosen because it is very good at classifying images and audio and can learn and extract features from raw data, such as image and audio data automatically. As a result, the model created succeeded in distinguishing one verse from another very well. The validation results show that the model can correctly detect 57 verses from 64 recorded data, which means it has an accuracy rate of 89.06%. With this verse classification model, it can then be implemented into an application to help memorize the Al-Qur'an even without using the internet.]]>

<![CDATA[Community welfare is a benchmark of various conditions that can represent a quality community life. It is undeniable that welfare in a comprehensive sense can be realized if certain economic conditions can be achieved, one of which is prosperity. Economic freedom is a framework in which principles compatible with the ideals of prosperity are implemented in economic institutions and processes. Important components in economic freedom such as size of government, legal system and property rights, sound money, freedom to trade internationally, and regulation have a significant influence on the welfare of the people of a country. This study aims to examine the effect of economic freedom on the welfare of the people in several countries with the Muslim majority population. By using unsupervised learning methods and decision tree algorithms in the classification, the experiment result found that 35% of countries with a majority Muslim population in the world were classified as Moderately Free.]]>

<![CDATA[Currently, transformative education is oriented towards students' independence in solving a problem they face. In other words, transformative education has its own influence on the soft skills of students. This research was conducted with the aim of providing predictions regarding the effect of transformative education on the soft skills possessed by students. The subjects in this study were students of Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 2 Bandung, ranging from grade 10 to grade 12. The research method used was the Naïve Bayes and K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm by taking datasets from an independent survey that had been carried out previously. The Naïve Bayes and K-Nearest Neighbor algorithms themself are included in supervised learning and can be used to predict with a high degree of accuracy. Supervised learning is one of the existing methods in machine learning by means of labeling the data trained by the machine. Testing the data using the Naïve Bayes and K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm obtains predictions that transformative education affects students' soft skills and produces a very high level of accuracy for the Naïve Bayes algorithm, namely 98% of the 100 existing datasets and accuracy of the K-Nearest Neighbor is 76,67%.]]>
