Transformation of Information on Classical Literature Translation Lead up the Era of Digitalization

Abstract

Classical Islamic literature during the daulah of Bani Umayyah and Bani Abbasiyah has reached a point of glory by producing civilizations that are rich in science through the translation system pioneered by Khalid Bin Yazid, Caliph Mansur, Caliph Harun ar-Rosyid and Caliph al-Ma'mun. This research aims to discover the development of classical literature towards the digitalization era in the present. Researchers used qualitative research with a historical approach. The transformation in the development of classical literature lies in the system of disseminating knowledge through the process of translation (al-Waraq), which was originally based on Yazid bin Khalid, who was a collector of books, so it continued in the process of collecting Muslim intellectuals and nobles carried out by the caliph al-Mansur. Individuals started the translation, and it increased with a larger number and quality of paper material that was quite good, so modern translation was produced during the Caliph. Harun ar-Rosyid, with the classification of the largest number of translators, produces translation books in Arabic with various types of languages in large quantities and with incentives or salaries. The increasing process of translation of science books became the basis for increasing scientific civilization. It presents a modern translation process in the digitalization era using information technology.
