Abstract

This paper provides a thorough examination of how Islamic ethics guide Muslims in navigating the complexities of contemporary challenges. Drawing from the Qur'an and the life of Prophet Muhammad, Islamic ethics offer a comprehensive framework that informs moral conduct in personal, social, economic, and environmental spheres. By carefully analyzing these teachings alongside the tradition of Ijtihad, Muslims approach modern ethical dilemmas with wisdom and compassion. Central values such as justice, compassion, honesty, and humility serve as guiding principles, shaping individual and collective behavior. The paper illustrates how Muslims engage with pressing issues like digital ethics, bioethics, environmental conservation, and global justice, seeking to harmonize religious teachings with contemporary realities. They grapple with privacy concerns, ethical technology use, genetic engineering, and end-of-life care while emphasizing stewardship of the environment and advocating for social justice. Through a steadfast commitment to ethical principles and a dedication to advancing justice and compassion, Muslims endeavor to fulfill their moral responsibilities and embody the ethical vision of Islam in today's world, contributing to a more equitable, compassionate, and sustainable global community.

Abstract

Over the past decade, global constitutionalism has progressively sought to constrain the power of digital platforms. Nevertheless, existing frameworks largely rely on Western social contract traditions, often overlooking the structural inequities present in digitally mediated governance. This article argues that the prophetic pledge of allegiance (bai’ah) is fundamental covenantal form of the social contract, offering an alternative paradigm of political legitimacy distinct from liberal individualism. It utilises a qualitative, library-based methodology that integrates socio-historical reconstruction of early Islamic primary sources with normative-conceptual and comparative constitutional analysis. The article demonstrates that bai’ah produces four fundamental constitutional principles: mutual consent, normative constraints on authority, safeguarding of the public interest, and collective accountability. These findings indicate that legitimacy in the prophetic model is based not on superficial procedural adherence but on a morally binding and mutually accountable political relationship. This study reconstructs bai’ah as a foundation for constitutional ethics, thereby enriching current discussions on global and digital constitutionalism by providing a more diverse normative framework for reconsidering consent, accountability, and justice in platform governance. The covenantal logic of bai’ah offers a valuable framework for assessing and normatively limiting private digital power, especially when current governance structures inadequately safeguard vulnerable communities.
