Abstract

The ethical problems brought about by the digital era are addressed in this paper by investigating the Islamic ethical principles that navigate professional ethics for digital citizenship. It focus at how Islamic ethical principles guide universality the challenges to the ethical issues including false information, cyber bullying, and privacy violations and encourage honesty, privacy, and respect in online contacts. The research demonstrates how fundamental principles of justice (adl), goodness (ihsan), and harm prevention (darar) may direct moral online conduct. Through an analysis of contributions from Islamic theologians including Al-Ghazali and Ibn Taymiyyah, the study offers a thorough framework for improving digital citizenship by means of Islamic ethics. Through the development of a cultured and responsible online community, this integration provides workable answers to modern digital problems. The results emphasize the need of following ethical standards that are sensitive to cultural differences in order to negotiate the intricacies of the digital world in the framework of Islamic ethical principles.
