NAVIGATING BARAKAH ECONOMIES : ISLAMIC PATHWAYS TO ADAPTIVE RESILIENCE IN THE POST-DIGITAL WORLD
Abstract
This paper explores the concept of economic resilience and innovation through an Islamic interdisciplinary lens in the context of the post-digital age. As global economies face increasing volatility due to technological disruption, financial uncertainty, and socio-ecological crises, Islamic economic thought offers a value-based framework that integrates ethical norms, social justice, and technological adaptability. Using a qualitative and conceptual approach, this study examines how principles such as maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, risk-sharing, and digital stewardship can contribute to resilient economic systems. The findings suggest that Islamic economic resilience is not merely reactive but transformative, emphasizing innovation grounded in moral responsibility and collective welfare. This paper contributes to contemporary discourse by positioning Islamic economics as a viable interdisciplinary approach to addressing global economic challenges in the post-digital era.
