“…Against this backdrop in which popular media culture has linked Islam to a negative representation in the West (Farooqui & Kaushik, 2022), social media have become a space that allows Muslims to counter such negative discourse regarding their religion and consolidate their identity and self-image (Deroo & Mohamud, 2022). Indeed, these platforms offer an opportunity for users to create their own content, which implies a greater diversity of media representations.…”

Social media and their participatory characteristics promote the construction of meanings that differ from those emitted by mainstream media outlets, becoming a tool that enables a reconfiguration of the dominant discourses. TikTok offers unique possibilities to confront the neoliberal imaginary and open a space for debate, incorporating political viewpoints and establishing itself as a new communication scenario. Regarding news about jihadism, many researchers have observed that those who practice Islam are classified as a monolithic entity, and this entire religious group is generalized as a threat to modern societies. The main objective of our research is thus to know the discourses used on TikTok to respond to the binomial Islam = terrorism spread by mainstream media and the affordances of this platform used to challenge this misconception. Using the snowball method, a multimodal analysis was conducted by identifying TikTok videos with the hashtags #yihadista, #yihad, and #islamterrorismo (in its English and Spanish versions) to explore the uses of the TikTok platform. The resulting selection criteria included: (a) content related to mainstream media discourses on jihadism, (b) discussion of a topic related to Islam and terrorism, and (c) where the content creator declares him/herself to be a Muslim. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted to provide an enhanced understanding of how the media promote the need to generate a counter-narrative on TikTok. The results reveal that discourses from Muslims that combat Islam = terrorism discourses are constructed within the spiral of the dominant narrative, thus visualizing the negative discourses about Islam.

“…There are a number of previous studies including the recent attempts of Muslim scholars who have done their best to diagnose the reasons of the young Muslims' problems, and prescribe the right educational solutions for such social and ethical maladies. Ali and Amin (2022) defines the Islamic fundamentals of education as " the bases and sources that gush out of them all the educational studies, which are considered a demonstration to the Islamic educational principles and concepts derived from the Holy Qu'ran and Holy Sunnah" Likewise, Farooqui and Kaushik (2022). points out that contemporary Muslim scholars recommend the educationalists to cling to Islamic fundamentals when they write curriculums for students.…”

This study sheds light on the ethical and social difficulties young Muslims face in the West. It aims to help Young Muslims fit socially without sacrificing their religion's principles, acquire Qu'ranic teachings and guidance, and assimilate Islamic principles and moral values that help them lead a righteous life. It attempts to achieve that by exposing young Muslims to the Qu'ranic educational significances and lessons and the moral values and Islamic principles derived from two types of Qu'ranic dialogue: the exchange dialogue and the speech dialogue. It seeks to develop a plan that enhances acquisition of ample Qu'ranic knowledge and guidance, assimilation of Qu'ranic ethical conducts, Islamic codes and social morals. It also seeks to provide Young Muslims with Qu’ranic teachings that strengthen their faith and immunity against non-Muslim passive social influences. As well, it helps Young Muslims refute the false claims about Islam. Moreover, this study recommends educationalists to help young Muslims eliminate indifference toward their religion, foster trust in themselves toward their Islamic identity and transfer this study into educational programs, and conduct further study from another perspective. Finally, this study concludes the abolition of young Muslims' ignorance of their religion and fostering the pure Islamic doctrine in their hearts.

“…Starting with a key-term search in Scopus and Google Scholar [1], and sorting for the most cited, as is conventional in systematic literature reviews (Farooqui and Kaushik, 2022), we supplemented these titles with a subjective expansion that included identifying scholars who were influential in the field. We then refined our analytic focus to people whose work was currently leading the field, thus centering the human being at the center of a body of work, as defined by four criteria: scholars who specifically focused on aspects of education in the Islamic tradition; scholars who identified Islamic Education as an emerging and interdisciplinary field and located themselves and their work primarily within this field, as evidenced by a clear research role or mandate; scholars who evidenced and extended their work with a practical, social dimension, including, for example, establishing a center, teacher education program, school or community program; and scholars who had an active publishing records of at least three conceptual and/or empirical studies on Islamic Education specifically, in Englishlanguage, peer-reviewed journals and/or co-edited books in the last ten years.…”

Purpose Islamic schools in Western secular societies are evolving in response to collective concerns over marginalization of Muslim children and communities and to increasing demands for high-quality education in the faith tradition. These schools are at the center of public debate over how they fit within secular societies. This paper aims to take a pedagogic look at the literature in the field of Islamic Education Studies. Design/methodology/approach Engaging in a collaborative thematic analytic review of this literature, in an educational hermeneutic approach, two novel themes are discerned as features of Muslim learners’ diverse educational landscapes. Findings The first theme, Dual Consciousness recognizes that young Muslims live parallel lives, moving between secular and faith-based schools and communities, and suggesting potential in developing cognitive flexibility across epistemic horizons. The second theme, Educational Transferables is a coalescence of abilities that young Muslims develop within sites of Islamic education, which may enhance their engagement in secular schools and societies. Social implications In highlighting possibilities for young people’s educational well-being in both secular and Islamic schools, with significant pedagogical implications for both, the themes featured in this paper suggest that Muslim learners’ complex educational experiences make varied contributions to heterogeneous societies. Originality/value Despite ongoing forces of marginalization, expressions of Islamic education have benefits for young Muslims negotiating complex sociocultural and educational worlds. In highlighting possibilities for young people’s educational well-being in both secular and Islamic schools, with significant pedagogical implications for both, these themes suggest that Muslim educators can nurture in young people the ability for complex, conceptual integration in contribution to heterogeneous societies.
