“…In other words, for Muslim English learners, Islamic content should be included when teaching the English language. Since Muslim learners have shown high interests towards Islamic writings (Ibrahim, Hamzah, Taslim, & Adnan, 2010;Aliyu, Mahmud, & Tap, 2013) the use of these writings in the classroom to teach them English can contribute to a meaningful learning experience. To test this assertion, Muslim students' views and the trend of reading Islamic texts need to be analysed.…”

“…It is evident therefore that based on the growing statistics of readership on the Islamic websites, interests towards Islamic writings among young Muslim readers are promising (Ibrahim, Hamzah, Taslim, & Adnan, 2010;Aliyu, Mahmud, & Tap, 2013). The popularity could be attributed to its many Islamic online services that are available including the two-way dialogue with Muslims scholars and other Muslims online visitors, educational training, community development programmes and even online marriage prospects (Bunt, 2003;Aliyu, Mahmud, & Tap, 2013).…”

This paper is a study of the reading trends and perceptions of Muslim Malaysian undergraduate students towards Islamic English websites as pedagogical materials in English language classrooms. Data was collected through a set of questionnaires to 180 students from the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) and Universiti Sultan ZainalAbidin (UniSZA). The findings revealed that the students were self-motivated to read the materials to gain spiritual knowledge and to use the knowledge to deal with personal challenges. It also shows that the students recommend that the materials are used for pedagogical purposes in the learning of the English language. The study proposed that texts that bring enjoyment, inspiration, spiritual knowledge and personal development are used as reading materials in English lessons for Muslim students. This would enhance the motivation to read more whilst improving the proficiency of the English language.

“…their design, information architecture, contents, and organizational objectives). Researchers who attempt to study Islamic websites differently view them as community-based (Bunt, 2000(Bunt, , 2003, organization-based (Bunt, 2003;Daniels, 2004;Adhami, 2008), culture-based (Wan Abdul Rahim et al, 2008), information-based (Ibrahim et al, 2010), Quranic-based (Noordin & Othman, 2006;Bakeri, 2010), Hadithbased (Nor Shahriza & Norzelatun, 2005) and fatwa (scholar's opinion) (Bruckner, 2001;Bunt, 2003;Sisler, 2009). Moreover, some researchers consider all websites about Islam as 'Islamic websites', and as such they neither classify nor categorize them (Suleman, 2005; The Electronic Journal on Information Systems in Developing Countries http://www.ejisdc.org…”

A few have developed initial measurement scales for evaluation (Ishak et al 2011;Mahmud et al, 2010;Wan Abdul Rahim et al, 2008;Suleman, 2005), although most of these scales needs to be further developed, restructured, retested and revalidated.…”

The growing availability of the Internet and advances in the use of technology among Muslims have led to an increase in the number of websites with an Islamic content. Currently, there is an emerging trend in the improvement of the design and quality of Islamic websites. Islamic websites serve as a medium for Islamic organizations, scholars, and individuals to contribute and participate in several online activities. This research is drawn from the deep understanding that website design is a major factor affecting the use of websites by Muslim users. We therefore investigate the most important design features that influence Muslims to use websites in learning about Islam, as an alternative to the traditional face-to-face learning from scholars and books. Website design is measured by functionality, navigation, interactivity, attractiveness, and organizational features, and website use by the extent to which frequent use is influenced by the website's design features. An online survey was conducted from November to December 2012. 89 usable responses were collected from faculty members and students at the International Islamic University Malaysia. The participants have experience in using Islamic websites. They were guided to the survey website via the faculty students' mailing list and Facebook group page. The findings indicate that website attractiveness, functionality, navigation, organizational information, and security/privacy are the most important factors influencing the use of Islamic websites. Interactivity design features were found to be least significant in influencing Muslim users to use Islamic websites for religious purposes. The majority of the Muslim users visit Islamic websites to search for information, seek for scholars' opinions regarding personal issues/problems (Q&A), and learn about Quran and Hadith. The results of the study are valuable indicators for the direction of future research, and also suggest guidelines for the successful development and adoption of Islamic websites.

“…), the sunnah. Thus, an Islamic website is a website that provides true information about Islam to the people and allow them to ask questions as well as converse with each other [7].

Deception is not always a lie, but sometimes a factual truth deliberately misleads. The deception continues to grow with the proliferation of the growth of the internet and reliance on internet information to make decisions. Thus, the absence of a deception judgment for websites will make users believe false and deceiving information which poses a serious problem, and there is still little scholarly work on this issue. Hence, the purpose is to investigate the distribution of cues to deception in real websites. A case study approach was carried out using content analysis. The cues were tested against some websites, and the context for the case study is the Prophet Muhammad’s biography. As a result, a list of cues was generated and grouped into nine heuristics; five heuristics related to text, and four heuristics related to design. Under each of these developed heuristics are lists of cues. The analysis from the case study confirmed the existence of the cues and enriched and improved the heuristics with more new cues
