Ledakan teknologi maklumat telah merancakkan lagi perkembangan ilmu, aplikasi dan pemprosesan maklumat. Data-data yang diperolehi sama ada daripada sumber maya atau konvensional didigitalkan, disusun dan dianalisa menggunaan mesin penyusun dan penganalisa. Data-data tersebut kemudiannya digunakan untuk pelbagai tujuan. Selain menggunakan mesin penyusun dan penganalisa data, penggunaan mesin pembuat keputusan juga dapat membantu menghasilkan output yang lebih baik dan tepat. Dalam bidang hadis, banyak pihak telah membangunkan pelbagai aplikasi digital berkaitan hadis menggunakan teknik yang ringkas mahupun yang lebih kompleks mencakupi kemampuan janaan dan paparan dapatan yang hebat dan penggunaan teknologi berasaskan awan. Tujuannya untuk memudahkan orang ramai mencapai data-data hadis Nabi SAW. Data dalam aplikasi-aplikasi tersebut biasanya dicapai daripada pangkalan data yang telah disiapkan. Namun, tidak banyak aplikasi atau pangkalan data berkaian hadis yang bercirikan maklumat dan paparan yang hebat yang dibina dalam bahasa Melayu. Kebanyakan yang amat bagus hanya terdapat dalam bahasa asing. Ketiadaan ini disebabkan oleh pelbagai faktor, antaranya ketiadaan dana, sumber manusia, kepakaran dan pelbagai lagi. Kertas kerja ini akan cuba membincangkan cabaran yang dihadapi oleh kumpulan i-Status Hadis, USIM dalam membina pangkalan data hadis lengkap untuk tujuan data raya. Kajian kes ini akan cuba mengkaji permasalahan yang mereka hadapi serta melihat solusi kepada penyelesaiannya.

The rapid development of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 has brought significant changes to the information-seeking paradigm among users. This change is observed from the print-based information seeking paradigm to web-based sources seeking. As a result, many parties are giving the creation of digital information priority over conventional information. In the field of Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad), a plethora of digital information has been provided by various parties. Such data, commonly found in various applications, is typically accessed from prepared databases. But the majority of the applications are in other languages. Few Hadith-related applications provide complete data and presentations created in the Malay language. This absence is due to various factors, including a lack of funding, human resources, expertise, and others. This study attempts to discuss the challenges faced by the i-Status Hadith group of USIM (Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia) who are attempting to build a complete Hadith database for digital data purposes. This case study will attempt to examine the problems they encounter and explore potential solutions for resolution.

Penilaian status hadith sangat penting sebagai satu langkah berinteraksi dengan sunnah yang merupakan sumber kedua perundangan Islam. Tulisan ini bertujuan menjelaskan melalui kajian perpustakaan tentang kaedah penilaian status hadith di sisi sarjana hadith dan kewajarannya di era ICT dan digital.

Hasil kajian mendapati penilaian status hadith sama ada secara naqli, dirā`ī atau kombinasi kedu-duanya masih relavan dilakukan pada zaman digital dan ia semakin mudah dengan bantuan aplikasi digital hadith yang menjadi faktor proses penilaian dapat dilakukan dengan lancar dan cepat

This paper aims at investigating the impacts between information sources used and human attributes, namely: Attitude, Habit and Awareness of Individual in seeking for information about halal food products effectively among Malaysian Muslim consumers in Kuala Lumpur. This study was conducted to address the following research questions: 1) Are there any relationships between the use of different information sources and Attitude that might positively relate to the perception of wholesomeness, leading to effective seeking for halal food information?; 2) Are there any relationships between the use of different information sources and Habit that might positively relate to the perception of wholesomeness, leading to effective searching for halal food information?; and 3) Are there any relationships between the use of different information sources and Awareness of individuals that might positively relate to the perception of wholesomeness, leading to effective searching for halal food information? A pilot study was conducted in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with a sample size of 50 respondents. Most of the respondents were young Malaysian Muslims between the ages of 18 and 24 years old. The data was gathered through a five point Likert scale and was analysed quantitatively using SPSS. The findings of this study suggest that linking between information sources used by consumers, and the above mentioned human attributes will ensure the perception of wholesomeness of halal food. In other words, when the consumer’s attitude, habit and awareness towards halal food are high, the consumer will use credible and trusted information sources, and hence reach an effective searching process for halal food information. Accordingly, this study provides insights into how Malaysian Muslim consumers seek information for halal food.

The study of hadith is an important component of Islamic education. In Islam, hadith knowledge is the second source of legislation after the Quran as a guide and reference. However, there is excessive dependence on unreliable sources in a network. I-Status Hadith Word Add-In is an application that allows users to quickly reveal hadith information, its source, original text, and status in one platform, rather than having to search for that information across multiple platforms. By using the I-Status Hadith Word Add-In, it can ease users search for hadith and display the original text with proper and understandable translations. This paper reports on a perception study among students of the Faculty of Quran and Sunnah Studies towards the use of the I-Status Hadith Word Add-In in writing their assignments. The purpose of this application built on top of Microsoft Word is to assist users in working on text editing involving hadith text and to ease the users retrieval of the source ofhadith information according to their preferred format. An evaluation of the use of the I-Status Hadith Word Add-In was conducted among 40 students. The results indicate that the students agreed on the learnability, usefulness, ease of use, functionality and effectiveness, satisfaction, and Outcome/Future Use of the application. The potential use of the I-Status Hadith Word Add-In for teaching and learning is discussed at the end of this paper
