Abstract

The advancement of digital technology has significantly reshaped the dissemination of Islamic knowledge. Texts that were once confined to formal religious institutions are now widely accessible through global digital platforms. This study explores the dynamics of Islamic text circulation in the digital age and its implications for Islamic education, particularly in the field of Arabic language instruction. Employing a descriptive qualitative method through a literature review, the article examines the transformation of Islamic epistemology, the emergence of new meanings within digital texts, the politics of translation, and the fragmentation of religious authority in the era of new media. The findings reveal that digitization has expanded public engagement in the consumption and interpretation of Islamic texts yet also introduces challenges such as meaning simplification, ideological contestation, and the erosion of traditional religious authority. For Arabic language education, this shift presents both opportunities increased access to learning resources and demands, notably, the need to cultivate critical literacy and cultural competence to navigate the diverse representations of Islam online. This study underscores the necessity of interdisciplinary perspectives and adaptive pedagogical strategies to address the global transformations in Islamic text circulation effectively.
