Raya, M.K.F. Digital Islam: new space for authority and religious commodification among Islamic preachers in contemporary Indonesia. Cont Islam (2024). https://doi.org/10.1007/s11562-024-00570-z
From the abstract:
“This study found that digital media platforms are a new way for Indonesian Muslims to reproduce, consume and reconceptualise religious material. Instead of being an effort to promote Islam, this research argues that digital Islam has transformed from a religious authority to a business authority that enables a new culture with what is called ‘digital Islamisation’. The results of this research have implications for the digital acquisition of Islam as a new way of creating religious authority where the Islamic Market has been coloured by the involvement of business features played by Islamic preachers.”
