In order to analyse data and assess the usability of hadith applications accessible in the Google Play Store, this study used the Hands-On Measurement approach. Following data analysis and usability evaluation based on a variety of crucial mobile application needs, including as learnability, efficiency, memory, error management, and satisfaction, thirty hadith apps from the Google Play Store were selected for a shortlist. According to the study, Muslims can utilise the hadith applications that are available on the Google Play Store as a source of knowledge and education, however precaution should always be applied if the software has issues.

Abstract: The converts (mualaf) are people who return back to Islam. As they are new to Islamic religion, they still need constant guidance and teaching, especially the Islamic teachings and Quranic understanding. Therefore, da'wah approach to this group, should be in accordance with the methods that suit their current situation and environment. Hence, the objective of this study is based on two main elements 1) to identify the factors of the Muslim Chinese society in general; and 2) study their learning resources of the al-Quran. This paper also discusses the history of migration as well as the migration factors of Chinese society from the Mainland China to Malaysia in general. In addition, researchers also listed some other research findings: the time period they took to learn Islam before converting to Islam, the challenges faced after their conversion and learning techniques used to study the al-Quran. This study uses a qualitative approach by analyzing documents and conducting semi-structured interview to a group of respondents in order to obtain premier data. Interview sessions were conducted to respondents who were selected from da'wah organizations in three states. The findings show that among the main factors of their conversion are due to the interaction with other believers as well as family members who have embraced Islam, and some of them converts by marriage factor. In the meantime, majority of them studied al-Quran through religious classes organized by da'wah institutions via Iqra 'books as a beginning and trying to understand the Quranic verse through the interpretation book. The time taken before embracing Islam and the challenges faced after the conversion was also explained. Hence, this study is expected to identify the problems and disadvantages in the effort to help these converts to Islam. Keywords: Cina Muslim Society, Mualaf, Learning al-Quran

The development of Islamic applications has greatly helped in the learning process, especially in the study of hadith. The process of identifying the status of hadith becomes easier, but it requires proper discipline. However,beginner users still struggle to use the applications, as there is no guidance on how to use them. Therefore, this study aims to demonstrate the basic methods for identifying the status of hadith by exploring the Encyclopedia of the 9 Imams application. The methodology used is a qualitative approach to collecting hadith data provided in the application. As a result, this article will introduce five basic guidelines for identifying the status of hadith using technological tools. Firstly, identify the sources of hadith references. Secondly, identify the search for hadith. Thirdly, determine the keywords of the hadith. Fourthly, analyze the hadith from the perspective of its content and chain of narration (sanad). Lastly, seek confirmation from experts regarding whether the discovered status of the hadith is accepted or not. All of these guidelines serve as a foundation for beginners in the study of hadith.

Pembelajaran al-Quran merupakan perkara yang amat penting dalam kehidupan manusia. Hal ini adalah kerana untuk mendidik manusia mengabdikan diri kepada Allah serta membina masyarakat yang bertaqwa, berakhlak mulia dan melakukan setiap perkara berlandaskan Al-Quran. Oleh demikian, kaedah hafazan digunakan bagi mengingati dan memelihara ayat-ayat suci al-Quran. Sehingga kini, banyak kaedah yang digunakan untuk menghafal al-Quran di maahad tahfiz khususnya seperti kaedah menyalin, kaedah mendengar, kaedah menggunakan ICT dan sebagainya. Sebelum merdeka lagi, amalan menghafal al-Quran ini telah wujud di Tanah Melayu dan menjadi budaya bagi masyarakat Islam Nusantara. Setelah itu, pendidikan tahfiz telah diperkenalkan secara formal pada tahun 1966 atas arahan Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj iaitu Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang pertama ekoran daripada acara Musabaqah al-Quran. Sehingga kini, institusi pendidikan tahfiz berada di bawah bidang kuasa kerajaan iaitu Jabatan Agama Islam Malaysia (JAKIM). Sehubungan dengan itu, kajian ini membincangkan tentang penggunaan teknologi maklumat dan inovasi dalam pembelajaran tahfiz Quran. Kajian ini dijalankan kerana kebanyakan maahad tahfiz masih menggunakan kaedah dan proses pembelajaran Quran secara traditional yang tidak selari dengan pembangunan teknologi maklumat. Perkara ini berpunca daripada kurangnya strategi dan kaedah dalam membantu para huffaz menghafal al-Quran. Objektif kajian ini ialah untuk mengkaji penggunaan teknologi maklumat melalui telefon pintar dalam pembelajaran tahfiz Quran. Bagi mendapatkan bukti, kajian ini telah mengaplikasikan metode dokumentasi sebagai metode utama untuk mengumpulkan data-data kajian. Data diperolehi melalui pengumpulan data-data dari sumber internet, bertulis dan bercetak sedia ada seperti jurnal dan sebagainya. Oleh itu, usaha ini dapat membentuk Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran (PdP) pengajian tahfiz menjadi lebih efektif, menarik dan sesuai dengan perkembangan dan kehendak pembelajaran semasa, serta menyumbang kepada pembentukan generasi huffaz yang berkualiti. Selain itu, pendidikan tahfiz yang mempunyai organisasi terancang yang mengikut peredaran zaman dapat menghasilkan kecekapan dan keberkesanan dalam hafazan. Penggunaan kemudahan teknologi secara optimum perlulah diberi perhatian yang sewajarnya bagi memastikan pendidikan tahfiz tidak ketinggalan. Kebanyakan pelajar tahfiz masa kini dibesarkan dalam persekitaran digital yang dapat memberi kesan kepada pembelajaran mereka.
