| Summary: | Internet is an open platform for anyone to publish and share information without being subjected to the
authenticity of information. For Muslims, religious information crucially should be reliable due to the very reason that
many Muslims consider the Internet as a source in getting Islamic knowledge. Unfortunately, the assessment on reliability
of the information provided by the Internet is complex. The huge amounts of data available and lack of knowledge among
Muslims contribute to the users’ incapability to recognize existences of unreliable information. Focusing on the reliability
of information, this paper presents a software prototype, which uniquely automates and processes the reliability evaluation
through inspections of references and scholars that are cited in the Islamic websites. Those references indicate that the
Islamic websites derived their information from reliable religious sources. |
