<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the concept of tabayyun in Qur'an Surah Al-Hujurat [49]: 6 through a comparative examination of the interpretations of M. Quraish Shihab, Wahbah al-Zuhaili, and Sayyid Qutb and to examine its relevance as an ethical framework for information verification on social media. This qualitative study employs library research with a descriptive-analytical design. The data were analyzed using content analysis with an interpretive-comparative approach to three Qur'anic commentaries and relevant literature on hoaxes, deepfakes, and disinformation. The findings show that the three commentators position tabayyun as a principle of verifying information before accepting it or using it as a basis for action, although they emphasize different dimensions. Quraish Shihab emphasizes source validity and the epistemic dimension, al-Zuhaili emphasizes prudence and the prevention of harm, while Sayyid Qutb emphasizes social responsibility and the preservation of social cohesion. Their synthesis produces verification principles consisting of examining source credibility, clarifying content and context, comparing information with reliable sources, exercising caution, and assuming responsibility for information dissemination. These findings demonstrate that tabayyun can be developed as an ethical framework for Islamic digital literacy in addressing hoaxes, deepfakes, and disinformation.]]>
