Abstract

Digital technology has ushered in an era of unprecedented social and cultural transformation, fundamentally affecting how people interact, communicate, and see the world. The growing digitization of many aspects of human life has required a rethinking of ethical norms since humanity began to concentrate on itself rather than divine creatures. This research explores the concept of ethical insinuations and its application in delineating digital technology and compare its effects on social harmony, religious coexistence, and well-being in multi-religious societies, enabling more pragmatic suggestions on forging a more ethical and inclusive digital space that is considerate of diverse religious beliefs, nurtures common values, and is free from dissemination of misinformation, hate speech, and radical ideologies. The concept of ‘digital wisdom, which exceeds digital literacy since it is a matter of ethical and moral use of technology, is what this study focuses on, and proposing a holistic model that merges technical advancements and ethical frameworks to safeguard the long-term development of society in direct correlation with Maqasid al-Shariah and Islamic legal maxims.
