Digital Muslim Review

Digital Muslim Review is a peer-reviewed, open access academic journal dedicated to the critical study of Islam and Muslim communities in digital environments. Recognising that digital spaces—particularly social media platforms—have become primary sites of religious discourse, identity formation, and communal practice, the journal positions the digital realm as both field and object of inquiry. The journal welcomes methodologically innovative research that examines how Muslims across diverse contexts produce, negotiate, and contest religious meanings online. From algorithmic analysis of Qur'anic interpretation to netnographic studies of Islamic activism on social media, from digital ethnography of online preaching communities to computational approaches to hadith verification—the journal embraces a wide spectrum of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods scholarship.

As an open access publication, the journal ensures that all research is freely available to readers worldwide, promoting the global dissemination of knowledge on digital Islam without barriers. The journal's scope encompasses the full range of digital Islam: the transformation of religious authority through social media, the construction of Muslim identities in virtual spaces, the digitisation of sacred texts and traditions, and the intersection of Islamic ethics with emerging technologies including artificial intelligence. Particular attention is paid to how digital environments reshape long-standing religious practices, reconfigure relationships between scholars and lay Muslims, and create new possibilities for transnational community formation.

Published twice annually, Digital Muslim Review aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue between Islamic studies, digital humanities, media studies and the social sciences, advancing rigorous scholarship on the evolving relationship between Islam and the digital.
