PANDANGAN AL-QURÃN TENTANG ETIKA DIGITAL: ANALISIS TEMATIK ATAS KOMUNIKASI DI ERA MEDIA SOSIAL

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology, particularly social media, has transformed the way people communicate. While social media facilitates the exchange of information and social networking, it also gives rise to ethical issues such as the spread of hoaxes, hate speech, slander, and violations of privacy. In this context, the Qurãn as a guide for Muslim life offers fundamental teachings on communication ethics that are highly relevant to the challenges of digital interaction. This research aims to explore the values of digital ethics from the Qurãnic perspective through a thematic interpretation approach. Using qualitative descriptive methods and content analysis techniques, the research analyzes Qurãnic verses related to communication principles, including honesty (ṣidq), information verification (tabayyun), protecting honor and privacy, the prohibition of gossip and slander, and etiquette in speech. The results indicate that the Qurãn provides ethical communication guidelines that are highly applicable to social media usage, both in maintaining personal integrity and fostering a healthier digital environment. The findings contribute to the development of Islamic-based digital ethics and serve as practical guidance for Muslims to interact responsibly in digital spaces. This study is expected to serve as a reference for curriculum development, Islamic digital education, and more ethical social media policies.
