Abstract

The emergence of the internet has transformed the dynamics of Muslim engagement with religious authority and knowledge, creating a vibrant space where Islam intersects with the digital realm. Despite the wealth of surveys and existing studies, the qualitative exploration of Muslim youthâs access to online and offline Islamic religious and legal information in the digital era is under-studied, particularly from their own perspectives. Drawing from a comprehensive analysis of 64 semi-structured interviews with young Muslims in Melbourne and Geelong, this chapter examines how young Muslims juggle traditional and digital Islamic religious and legal sources, shedding light on the complexities of navigating Islamic authority offline and online. The chapter confirms earlier research that despite the wealth of online resources, concerns about misinformation are in the minds of many young Muslims while they navigate cyberspace for Islamic knowledge. Based on the participantsâ detailed responses sharing their motivations and reasoning, the chapter also shows why their personal connections with family, friends, and teachers remain foundational in accessing religious knowledge, despite their awareness that digital platforms broaden their access to Islamic knowledge. Also, many participantsâ use of the internet for Islamic knowledge is limited to accessing the foundational texts such as the QurÊ¾an and Hadith. Finally, despite the proliferation of online resources, a third of the participants have continued to seek guidance from imams and religious scholars offline. However, the chapter also shows that gender disparities persist in accessing offline religious authorities, underscoring the need for inclusive religious spaces.
