Era Disrupsi : Teknologi dan Perubahan Sosial

Penelitian

Abstract

This investigation examines the ramifications of technological disruption on the social, economic, and cultural dimensions of Islamic life within the digital age, employing a descriptive qualitative methodology that integrates literature review and empirical observations of modern Muslim societies. The findings reveal that digital technologies engender multifaceted consequences: in the social domain, platforms such as social media, da'wah applications, and online educational systems facilitate the broader dissemination of religious knowledge, yet they concurrently engender challenges including the proliferation of misinformation (hoaxes) and radical ideologies; in the economic sphere, the advent of sharia-compliant fintech, halal-oriented e-commerce, and digital zakat mechanisms promotes financial inclusion, albeit while precipitating concerns over adherence to sharia principles and regulatory frameworks; whereas in the cultural realm, the digitization of ancient manuscripts and virtual explorations of historical sites bolster the safeguarding of Islamic patrimony, even as they contribute to the erosion of traditional values amid the forces of digital globalization. Ultimately, the study posits that technological disruption within an Islamic framework exhibits an ambivalent character, simultaneously presenting opportunities and perils, thereby necessitating an adaptive paradigm firmly anchored in sharia tenets, enhanced digital literacy among the ummah, the cultivation of a technology ecosystem aligned with Islamic ethics, and the formulation of regulatory measures that prioritize collective welfare (maslahah). In this regard, the research advances scholarly dialogue on the interplay among technology, religion, and societal transformation, while offering a foundational reference for policymaking in navigating the disruptions of the contemporary era.
