<![CDATA[This study aims to explore the relevance of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah in facing the challenges and opportunities presented by the Metaverse, as well as offering an adaptive Islamic legal framework for the virtual world. In an increasingly complex digital era, challenges such as the spread of false information, identity manipulation, digital addiction, economic exploitation, and negative impacts on family relationships have become major issues that require a Shariah-based approach. This study uses a literature analysis method by reviewing previous relevant and in-depth research on Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah, digital technology, and contemporary issues in the Metaverse. The results show that Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah can be flexibly applied in five main dimensions: protection of religion (al-dīn), life (al-nafs), reason (al-‘aql), offspring (al-nasl), and property (al-māl). Protection of religion includes the development of virtual spaces that support interactive education and da'wah. The protection of life includes the psychological well-being of technology users through moderation and digital literacy. The protection of reason emphasises the importance of information verification to prevent hoaxes and manipulation. The protection of offspring focuses on Islamic-based platforms to support children's education and strengthen family values. The protection of property highlights the need for Shariah regulation in digital economic transactions to ensure fairness and transparency. This study concludes that Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah is not only relevant but also capable of becoming an ethical and normative foundation for creating an ethical, inclusive Metaverse ecosystem that is in line with Islamic values. This study also opens up opportunities for further study on the practical implementation of Islamic law in the virtual world.]]>
