Here are some recent publications on Islam and the internet which have caught my attention (detaills via Google Scholar). I’ve noted a great deal of new research, which I aim to catch up on in due course:
Ihsan Yilmaz, Between Clicks and Clerics: How Young Western Muslims Seek Religious Knowledge in the Digital Age, Springer, 2025. “This book explores the lived experiences of young Muslims in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States as they seek religious guidance in an increasingly digital world. Based on extensive qualitative research—including interviews with 122 young Muslims—it examines how faith, identity, and knowledge come together in modern society.”
