The rapid advancement in science and technology has turned the world into a global village. Everything that was once physically done is changing to online. As it integrates into the daily lives, it also integrates into religions. No matter what religion you worship, technology is in every religion.
Applications for Muslims
Suppose we talk about the religion of Islam and how technology has made advancements in Islam. Some apps notify you about the prayer times, some apps show in which direction the Qibla is, and some apps have the Quran recorded in them which you can listen to anywhere anytime, etc.
