CYBER ETHICS IN THE QUR'AN: A PROPHETIC VALUE INTERPRETATION OF CONTEMPORARY DIGITAL BEHAVIOR
Keywords:
Quran, Ethics, Cyber, Tafsir, Prophetic, Digital, ContemporaryAbstract
The development of digital technology has created a complex cyberspace and raised new ethical challenges in the lives of humanity, including Muslim societies. In this context, the Qur'an as a universal source of values offers prophetic moral principles that are relevant to guide contemporary digital behavior. This study aims to explore prophetic values in the Qur'an such as honesty (ṣidq, QS. Al-Aḥzāb: 70), justice ('adl, QS. Al-Naḥl: 90), compassion (raḥmah, QS. Al-Anbiyā': 107), and trustworthiness (QS. Al-Mu'minūn: 8), and interpret their relevance to cyber ethics. This study uses the thematic interpretation method (mawḍū'ī) to identify and examine verses that contain prophetic ethical principles. The analysis is complemented by a normative ethics approach to relate the Qur'anic message to digital phenomena such as hate speech, hoax spreading, privacy violation, and online identity manipulation. The results show that the Qur'anic prophetic values have strong normative potential in forming a holistic cyber ethics framework. The Qur'an not only emphasizes legalistic aspects, but also builds spiritual awareness and social responsibility in interacting online. The discussion in this paper offers a Qur'anic-based cyber ethics model that is contextual, inclusive, and transformative to be applied in education, digital policy, and new media-based da'wah. This study contributes.
