Abstract:
In the dynamic landscape of the digital age, the convergence of faith and technology has become
an intriguing focal point, offering a unique lens through which to explore the multifaceted nature
of religious practices. As Information and Communications Technology (ICT) continues to shape
our global landscape, its impact on the understanding and practice of Islam is a fascinating
journey that unveils unique opportunities and challenges. As Internet access and smartphone
usage continue to expand globally, Muslim communities and organizations are leveraging ICTs
as powerful tools for religious education, outreach, and community-building. This paper shall
explore the digital dynamics within Islamic traditions, examining how technology can shape
religious experiences and amplify connectivity and understanding in the globalized world. The
research shall explore how social media platforms, mobile apps, online courses, and other digital
technologies can be utilized to share Islamic knowledge, facilitate religious observances, and
foster connections among Muslims worldwide.
