Integrating Islamic Moral Values with the Utilization of Digital Technology as an Effort to Realize a Sustainable and Just Economic System in the Era of Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the integration of Islamic moral values with the use of digital technology in building a sustainable and equitable economic system in the era of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The focus of this research is the application of the principles of ṣidq (honesty), ‘adl (justice), and amanah (responsibility) in digital economic practices. The study uses a qualitative approach with a library study and content analysis of scientific literature, official agency reports, and policy documents published in the 2020–2025 period. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative approach that positions Islamic moral values as an ethical foundation in the development of a digital economy that aligns with the sustainable development agenda. The results show that the application of Islamic ethics in economic digitalization can increase transparency, accountability, and public trust, particularly in Islamic financial institutions and the management of digital philanthropic instruments. The implications of this study provide a conceptual contribution to the development of technology-based Islamic economic studies and serve as a practical reference for the formulation of equitable and sustainable digital economic policies. The limitations of this study lie in the use of secondary data, so further empirical research is needed to strengthen the findings
