Abstract

Aggressive digital promotions encourage excessive consumption patterns that are not based on needs. From an Islamic perspective, uncontrolled consumption can be contrary to sharia principles, but the extent to which Islamic values are able to control consumer behavior still needs to be studied further. This study aims to explore the role of Islamic values in controlling the consumer behavior of Muslim consumers in Bandung. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach to understand the subjective experiences of Muslim consumers in dealing with social media promotions. Sample was selected through purposive sampling, involving consumers who actively shop online. Data collected through interviews and analyzed using NVivo. Results showed that Islamic values such as qana'ah, prohibition of israf, maslahah, hisbah, zuhud and tawakal play a role in controlling consumption. NVivo analysis found that the prohibition of israf, qana'ah, and maslahah were dominant factors in limiting excessive consumption. Understanding hisbah helps consumers be more selective about promotions. Meanwhile, the attitude of zuhud forms psychological resilience to consumption pressures, while tawakal instills inner peace and reduces the tendency to shop in response to financial anxiety. This finding confirms that internalization of Islamic values can shape wiser and more ethical consumption behavior.
