Abstract: The rapid development in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has revolutionized modern day life, influencing communication, education, commerce, and social interactions. However, ethical issues such privacy violations, disinformation and the exploitation of digital platforms underscore the necessity for a moral framework grounded in Islamic principles. This study examines the Islamization of Technology, incorporating teachings from The Holy Qur’an and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ? to harmonize technological progress with ethical and spiritual principles. It advocates for the creation of Islamic digital platforms that emphasize integrity, privacy, and responsible content moderation, while fostering truthful communication, ethical business practices, and social welfare in alignment with Maqasid al-Shari’ah. This strategy integrates Islamic values into ICT to harmonize technological progress with Islamic ethics, ensuring that digital advancements facilitate spiritual growth, knowledge diffusion, and ethical governance. The Islamization of Technology ultimately perceives ICT as a tool to foster ethical conduct, enhance community cohesion, and tackle modern digital issues through a faith-oriented approach.
