| Summary: | The rapid and dynamic change of the internet development and usage has enhanced people’s lifestyle and consumptions behavior. In line to this, the method of disseminating and collecting information has also been enhanced from traditional sources to the online sources. Religious activities are included with no exception. The emergence of computer technologies including WWW and other related services provide a new insight for the people to acquire knowledge on Islam and Muslims. Now, there are numbers of Islamic websites found over the Internet and most of the sites are being established in order to deliver the message of Islam and to disseminate the Islamic teachings and practices. However, apart from websites, weblogs are another tool in the Web 2.0 applications that is gaining acceptance as a medium for improving the process of knowledge sharing. Hence, through this situation, the Islamic communities grab the opportunity to introduce the Islamic weblogs as a source to enrich the Islamic knowledge. Recently, there are growth in the number of Islamic blogs or weblogs found. Previous studies highlighted that, despite Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism, the use of blogs as a part of medium for religious preaching has also been widely recognized by Islam. The problem of study issues on credibility and authenticity of the content remained questionable. |
