<![CDATA[Language constitutes a fundamental aspect of human life, essential for the clear reception and conveyance of information. Consequently, ethical linguistic conduct is imperative for effective human communication. The use of appropriate language fosters goodness, harmony, friendship (ukhuwah), and peace, whereas the use of offensive language may lead to misunderstanding and social conflict. This study aims to elucidate the ethics of language as presented in the Qur'an through a tafsīr maqāṣidī approach and its application in everyday life. Employing a maqāṣidī exegetical approach combined with descriptive qualitative analysis within a sociolinguistic paradigm, this research involves a study of 64 dormitory students who actively practice linguistic ethics in their daily interactions. The findings indicate that the implementation of sound language ethics, both environmentally and individually, preserves four key principles of Maqāṣid al-Sharī'ah: ḥifẓ al-dīn (preservation of religion), ḥifẓ al-’aql (preservation of intellect), ḥifẓ al-nafs (preservation of life), and ḥifẓ al-bī'ah (preservation of the environment). Thus, the use of proper language is a core aspect of linguistic ethics, and its daily implementation positively shapes individual personality, thereby contributing to a harmonious, virtuous, and peaceful environment.]]>
