Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital media and the surge of misinformation have created a profound epistemological crisis that challenges established notions of truth and knowledge. This study analyzes the reconstruction of truth in the post-truth era, in which emotional narratives and ideological biases frequently outweigh empirical evidence. Employing a descriptive-analytical method, the research explores the implications of post-truth dynamics for epistemic authority, public trust, and digital literacy. Primary and secondary sources including academic literature, books, and peer-reviewed articles on epistemology and digital media are examined to provide a comprehensive theoretical framework. The findings indicate that misinformation is often fueled by emotional persuasion, algorithmic personalization intensifies ideological polarization, and diminishing institutional credibility accelerates epistemic relativism. These conditions collectively weaken society’s capacity to distinguish reliable information from falsehoods. The study concludes that reconstructing truth in the digital age requires a multidimensional strategy that integrates robust digital literacy, transparent media practices, and strengthened epistemic responsibility. Such an approach is essential to restoring informed judgment, rebuilding trust, and safeguarding the integrity of knowledge in contemporary public discourse.

Abstract

This study examines the concept of Asy-Syura (consultation) in Islam and its relevance to democratic values, with reference to Wahbah al-Zuhaili’s interpretation in Tafsir al-Munir. The research is motivated by the significance of consultation as a principle in building an Islamic civilization that is just, participatory, and respectful of human dignity as social beings. Employing a qualitative approach through library research, Tafsir al-Munir serves as the primary source, supported by secondary literature on Quranic exegesis, Islamic political thought, and democracy. The findings reveal that al-Zuhaili interprets Asy-Syura as a fundamental principle in Islamic law, functioning to regulate decision-making and prevent authoritarianism in governance. In his perspective, consultation embodies not only spiritual and social dimensions but also political implications that encourage participation and justice in societal management. Consequently, Asy-Syura can be understood as an ethical-political foundation that aligns with democratic values within the framework of Islamic governance.
