Digital Akhlak and Cyber-Ethics: A Systematic Literature Review on Navigating Moral Dilemmas in Virtual Spaces

Abstract

The digital ethics crisis and moral dilemmas in virtual spaces have become significant threats to the modern social order. This study aims to formulate an integrative moral navigation framework by synthesizing the concepts of Digital Akhlak and Cyber-Ethics. Utilizing the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, this research analyzes 50 reputable academic publications from 2021 to 2025. Data indicates that technical-administrative approaches to cyber-ethics are insufficient without a foundation of intrinsic morality. The findings reveal that the functional revitalization of the values of Siddiq, Amanah, Tabligh, and Fathanah effectively mitigates destructive behavior in the online world. In conclusion, the synergy between external digital regulations and transcendental akhlak consciousness is the primary key to navigating moral complexities in virtual spaces. This study recommends integrating these values into global digital literacy curricula.
