<![CDATA[Previous studies on social media ethics from an Islamic perspective have generally focused on virtual communication, TikTok usage, or the effects of social media on moral behavior. However, integrative studies mapping mahmudah (virtuous) and mazmumah (blameworthy) behaviors on TikTok and Instagram as spaces for education and social interaction remain limited. This study aims to analyze Islamic digital ethics through virtuous and blameworthy behaviors on both platforms. It employs a descriptive qualitative approach using library research. Data were collected from the Qur’an, Hadith, Qur’anic commentaries, Islamic books, journal articles, and relevant academic publications, then analyzed descriptively and analytically. The findings indicate that Islamic digital ethics are grounded in honesty, trustworthiness, responsibility, politeness, and respect for others’ rights and dignity. Mahmudah behaviors include sharing accurate information, producing educational content, protecting privacy, and strengthening ukhuwah Islamiyah (Islamic brotherhood). Conversely, mazmumah behaviors encompass misinformation, ghibah (backbiting), slander, hate speech, cyberbullying, riya’ (ostentation), envy, and namimah (malicious gossip). The originality of this study lies in formulating an Islamic digital ethics framework that integrates both moral categories to analyze personal conduct, social interaction, and the educational functions of TikTok and Instagram. This study strengthens the conceptual foundation for public education aimed at fostering healthy, responsible, and socially beneficial digital interactions.]]>
