The purpose of this paper is to analyze the digitalization of Islamic knowledge with respect to advantages and limitations with particular reference to the computerization of religious texts and education. Moving from manuscripts to the e-formats has reinvented the way Muslims and Muslim scholars use, preserve and practice, sacred texts including the Qur’an, the Hadith and Fiqh / Islamic law, governance. However, while this was an encouraging trend that made Islamic scholarship more approachable and protect the youth, it also poses some ethical issues. The introduction of Islamic education for a fee such as Islamic Studies and the use of subscription-based platforms has brought the question of whether religious information is still sacred or if it can be put willing in a monetary exchange system. This paper concentrates on the issues of censorship highlighting the desire of the audience to develop such content while there are concerns of its moderation. Moreover, the emergence of new digital channels brings up important concerns regarding safety and confidentiality. The paper explores the danger of breaching privacy and the abuse of personal data pointing to the necessity and effectiveness of a policy against such issues. The role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) towards improving efficiency of translations or automated validation of Hadiths is also discussed. There is no doubt that all these innovations can contribute immensely to the development of knowledge and research in the area of Islam. However, there is a need to use them in just or right manner to avoid trustworthiness, correctness and purity of Islam. At the end of the day, being exposed to globalization influences should not incite alteration in the fundamentals and values of Islamic principles and practices. The longstanding concerns with regard to ethical issues and the use of technology do not mean that the digitization of Islamic knowledge cannot protect the vast intellectual and spiritual heritage of Islam for the coming generations, making it genuine and relevant in a fast developing digital society.

The Ahadith, narrations attributed to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and his divine successors, serve as vital pillars of practice, shaping the faith and guiding the lives of millions worldwide. This exploration delves into the universe of Shia Ahadith, uncovering the significance of both timeless treasures and ever-evolving interpretations. The four historical Ahadith sources, such as Kitab al-Kafi, Man la Yaḥḍuruhual-Faqih, al-Tahdhib, and al-Istibṣarserve as foundational frameworks for legal rulings, ethical principles, and ritualistic practices. However, the journey does not end in the annals of the past; it also takes us into the vibrant present, where contemporary scholars engage in a dynamic manner with Ahadith, reinterpreting its wisdom and applying it to modern contexts. This exploration reveals the rich tapestry of Shia Islam, woven from threads of tradition and evolution, and underscores the crucial role Ahadith plays in providing timeless wisdom and a flexible framework for navigating the uncertainties of the present.

This paper argues that Al-Ghazali and Hume arrived at similar conclusion rejecting natural causality as a logical necessity; however, they provide very different premises for this conclusion. Moreover, Hume’s rejection of the natural causal necessity leads him to religious skepticism; whereas, Al-Ghazali’s rejection of natural causal necessity leads him to have a strong faith in God and Miracles. The paper discusses the problem of causation in their philosophies focusing on the issues such as: causation as habit; uniformity in the natural order; causation is a mere a sequence of observed things; whether causal relation is ontological or epistemological; issue of miracles and diverse possibilities. Furthermore, the paper also focuses on the issue of Occasionalism and free will with special reference to Al-Ghazali and Hume.

Nowadays many effective methods are being used for teaching English as a Foreign language (TEFL) but none of them is without some weaknesses. Therefore, an eclectic approach is preferred. This research undertook pedagogic discourse analysis of the Qur’ān with a view to detect the methods and techniques of teaching given in the Holy Qur’ān and analyze their effectiveness with respect to TEFL. As Qur’ān is believed to be from the all-knowing Creator, the researcher foresaw a possibility of their extension to the teaching of a foreign language. The methods and techniques of teaching adopted by the Holy Qur’ān centuries ago were found to be in accordance with the modern and popular methods of general pedagogy. The research was carried forward with the purpose of judging the compatibility of these pedagogic principles and techniques with the teaching of English as a foreign language. It transpired that the pedagogic principles and techniques, derived from the Holy Qur’ān, are in perfect consonance with the recommended principles, techniques and methods of TEFL. The striking principles and techniques that surfaced were like beginning teaching a new language with nouns, utilizing the mother tongue of the beginner, emphasizing parallel development of all the four language skills, using imagery, discussion, and demonstration, arousing curiosity prior to teaching, maintaining of motivation through appreciation, putting timely questions, adopting narrative technique, developing critical thinking instead of rot memory, reinforcing learning through repetition and revision, sequencing teaching contents according to the difficulty level and by proceeding gradually in degrees.
