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

In this paper, we argue that, as a powerful artificial intelligence (AI) language model, ChatGPT can be used to provide sufficient responses to questions regarding controversial Arab–Islamic terms. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the responses generated by ChatGPT regarding these terms, which are often debated by the community. By relying on a combination of content and sentiment analysis, we analyzed ChatGPT's response through the specific prompts submitted. The result shows that ChatGPT can provide sufficient and promising explanations regarding two concepts that are still considered debatable today, Jihad and Bid'ah in particular. Furthermore, the explanations generated from this AI language model are relatively balanced and moderate because they present multiperspective answers. In its conclusion part of each response, ChatGPT always warns that these terms described are labeled "complex" and "controversial" meaning there is no sentiment in favor of one particular view. This research implies that ChatGPT can be used to help us answer various questions or at least provide an understanding at the conceptual level, even though it is related to debatable matters.

Abstract

This article explores the social movement paradigm in the millennial Muslim generation in the digital era through social media platforms. This research uses the concept of social movement as one of the collective behaviours, making the millennial generation’s social movement a new phenomenon in the Islamic movement in Indonesia. This research uses the Interpretative Phenomenology Analysis (IPA) approach (Roller, 2015; Smith et al., 2009) to understand, analyse, and explore the phenomenon. The socio-religious movement for the millennial Muslim generation through Islamic studies on social media was examined using a qualitative approach. The research findings reflect that the social movement occurs communally, giving birth to a socio-religious movement. The millennial Muslim movement has built a new identity as a religious community that obeys Islamic rules. The social movement intends to make young people close to the Qu’ran, pray on time, actively seek religious knowledge, and spread the message of Islam through social media platforms.

Abstract

Muktamar is the highest consultative forum in Muhammadiyah, held every five years to discuss and formulate various decisions on responding to the ummah and nationality issues. At the 48th Muktamar in 2022 in Surakarta, Muhammadiyah discussed six strategic issues, one of which was digital piety. This is very interesting because apart from Muhammadiyah, no Islamic organization in Indonesia has officially made the issue of digital piety a strategic issue to be discussed at its Muktamar. Therefore this study aims to analyze the construction of the idea of digital piety by Muhammadiyah. This study is qualitative research with a literature study approach. The data was obtained by collecting print and digital literature related to the idea of digital piety by Muhammadiyah. The data obtained were then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive qualitative analysis model. This analysis model has three stages: data reduction, presentation, and conclusion. Analysis of the data obtained leads to two findings in this study. First, digital piety is interpreted by Muhammadiyah as behaving and doing activities in the digital space accompanied by morality and ethics based on Islamic values. At this level, digital piety will lead to more civilized interactions and activities in the digital space. Second, three dimensions build the construction of Muhammadiyah’s digital piety ideas, namely the ideological dimension, the normative dimension, and the internalization dimension. The three dimensions are related to one another to create a civilized digital culture.

Abstract

This study examines the massive use of social media, its role, and its influence on splitting religious authority among internal Muslims in contemporary Indonesia. There are two research questions raised in this study: how is the existence and reality of the popularity of Indonesian Muslims amid the rapid development of social media? How does religious authority within Indonesian Muslims experience fragmentation and the massive use of social media? This study is a netnographic research based on qualitative research. Two types and sources of data are used: primary data in the form of text, visual videos, and images obtained from several social media, especially Instagram and YouTube. In addition, there is also secondary data in the form of statistical data and literature. After analysing field data based on the perspective of Max Weber’s authority theory, this study found that the massive use of social media among Indonesian Muslims today has triggered the birth of various new religious realities, one of which is the division of religious authority. In Indonesia, this fragmentation is marked by the weakening of the existence and influence of earlier Islamic clergy groups and, simultaneously, the emergence of contemporary clergy members with stronger allure and influence. The latter are popular as millennial ustadz, have a populist style, and are known to be quite active in campaigning for religious activities on online-based social media channels.

Abstract

A unique phenomenon occurred during the World Cup event in Qatar in 2022. Within a week of the Qatar World Cup, there were already 558 people who converted to Islam. Many soccer fans who specifically watched the World Cup were interested in deepening Islam and then converting to the religion. From the perspective of da’wa communication, the da’wa media through digital media carried out by Qatar using the Quick Response (QR) Code was a real effort to show the tolerant face of Islam to the world. The main purpose of this research is to explain the role of the Quick Response (QR) Code as a part of digital da’wa media in organising the World Cup in Qatar. This research is a type of qualitative research with a descriptive analysis. The article shows that the da’wa carried out by Qatar during the World Cup using digital media QR Code was part of the da’wa strategy by inviting people outside of Islam bil hikmat wal mauidhah al-hasanah and this method was very appropriate to describe a friendly and peaceful Islamic religion to the world. In general, the theoretical significance of this research is to contribute to the development of Islamic da’wa communication through digital media.

Abstract

In this research, I attempt to investigate the new media as an alternative for acquiring ilmu Shari’i. The decline of the conventional way for many reasons, in addition to the revolutionary development of technology, has encouraged many people to follow up in a different way to acknowledge Islam and Islamic knowledge. I also argue that these online platforms help Muslim youth confirm their identity through their attraction to social media. I consider the case of Ahmed Al Sayed and his influence on Muslim youth in the Arab world. In this research, I analyze social media interaction among Muslim youth by using the qualitative research method. This study contributes to understanding the impact of the age of transformation in technology on youth seeking Islamic knowledge.

Abstract

The discourse of interfaith dialogue between Islam and other religions will always be an interesting issue, especially in the context of multicultural Indonesia. In the digital era, along with the growth of digital preachers who utilise social media, the discourse of interfaith dialogue is also increasingly accessible. As of Ramadan 1444 H, Deddy Corbuzier, an Indonesian podcaster with a large following on YouTube (20.4 million followers), facilitated an interfaith dialogue between interfaith youths named "Login" through his YouTube channel. This paper investigates how this program utilised social media, such as a YouTube podcast, to spread interfaith discourses. Based on online research and digital observation, this paper argues that using YouTube podcasts creatively and innovatively significantly impacts the acceptance of interfaith discourses in a broader context. The Login Program was decorated by humorising sensitive issues, propagating posts with clickbait titles, using hashtags, and maximising thumbnails. In short, by taking the case of the Login program, this article illustrates how interfaith podcasts have achieved great acceptability and become a medium for cultivating religious inclusiveness in Indonesia.

Abstract

This paper aims to discuss plagiarism according to Indonesian and Islamic laws and develop applicable solutions for detecting similarity index plagiarism. Plagiarism is the act of taking someone else’s work and claiming it as theirs without giving recognition or credit to the original owner. This practice is against positive and Islamic laws. The method used in this paper is RAD (Rapid Application Development), one of the software development methods that emphasises the speed and flexibility of the results of the trials. We found that this application could detect the similarity index of a text composed by an AI tool like ChatGPT. This application can be implemented in education but still has limitations. This application cannot detect plagiarism from sources unlisted in the database. Therefore, further research must address this problem.

Abstract

This investigation delves into the profound impact of technology and social media by examining jihad narratives within the millennial demographic. The millennial generation, employing an innovative strategy of self-directed learning, has moulded propositions, paradigms, dual meanings, and religious narratives, resulting in the emergence of two pivotal terms: self-radicalization and self-recruits. Utilising Teun A Van Dijk’s critical discourse analysis, we scrutinise a news item, unraveling discourses and multiple meanings. Our findings intricately expound upon the contextualisation of millennials, technology, the Internet, social media, YouTube, radicalism, jihad, and religious narratives—a trilogy that introduces a groundbreaking terminology: Critical discourse analysis of self-religious narratives, with a specific focus on self-radicalization and self-recruitment. This study propels our comprehension of how millennials navigate and influence religious discourses in the era of digital communication.
