Membangun Epistemologi Literasi Digital Islam: Konsep Tabayyun sebagai Respons terhadap Budaya Post-Truth
Abstract
This study aims to construct an epistemological framework of Islamic digital literacy based on the concept of tabayyun as a response to post-truth culture. Using a conceptual research approach and library research design, the study analyzes primary Islamic sources, including QS. Al-Hujurat verse 6, relevant hadiths, classical and contemporary tafsir, and scholarly literature on Islamic epistemology, digital literacy, and post-truth culture. Data were examined through Directed Qualitative Content Analysis to identify thematic relationships among tabayyun, Islamic epistemology, digital literacy, and the challenges of misinformation. The findings indicate that tabayyun functions not only as an ethical principle of information verification but also as an epistemological mechanism that integrates critical reasoning, source evaluation, contextual interpretation, and moral responsibility. This framework contributes to the development of Islamic digital literacy by emphasizing valid knowledge, ethical communication, and responsible information dissemination in the digital sphere.
