Philosophy of Justice as the Foundation of Sharia Economics: Islamic Consumption Ethics Analysis in Digital Age

Abstrak

This study aims to explore the integration of Islamic justice philosophy (al-ʿadl) with contemporary consumption behavior, particularly in the context of the digital economy. It examines how justice, as a fundamental Islamic value, shapes ethical decision-making in consumption and influences socio-economic structures amid rapid technological transformation. The method employed is a qualitative literature review, synthesizing classical Islamic thought, modern economic theories, and recent empirical studies on consumer ethics and digitalization. The results reveal that justice serves not only as a normative principle but also as a practical framework that guides consumption toward balance, social responsibility, and sustainability. Furthermore, integrating justice into economic policies and educational systems enhances conscious consumption and reduces socio-economic disparities. This research contributes to the development of a philosophical and ethical foundation for Islamic economics that is relevant and responsive to the challenges of the digital age.
