1. The Significance of knowledge

“Allah will exalt those of you who believe and those
who are given knowledge, in high degrees and Allah
is Aware of what you do”. [Sūrat Al-Mujādilah:11]

In the Qur’an, Allah (swt) acquaints man with the
concept of “information”. The Almighty says: And
He taught Adam the names of all things; and placed
them before the angels, and said:
“Tell me the nature of these if you are right”.
[Sūrat Al-Baqarah: 31]

This verse of the Qur’an shows that the concept of
information system has been demonstrated since the
creation of man. Allah renders the quest for information
part of human nature which distinguished man from angel.
Therefore, man is able to love and understand love, and
thus plan and initiate, as becomes the office of vicegerent.
(Noordin, 2013)

2. Qur’an and Internet
Al-Qur’an is the book of guidance. Allah s.w.t says:
“Alif Lam Mim. This is the Book, it is definitely
for guidance, without uncertainty, to those Who
fear Allah”. [Surah Al-Baqarah: 1-2]

” The book of Allah “Qur’an” is now available in many
formats through the Internet. Notably,
the number of Internet users in the world is increasing.
Until March 2011, more than two billion

people used the Internet. (Hosseini and Ahmadi
Ramchahi, 2014)
