Abstract

This article examines the application of Islamic etiquette (adab) to communication in the digital environment, particularly on social networks. On the basis of the Holy Qur’an, the Sunnah and the classical works of Muslim scholars, the principles of truthful speech, verification of information, respect for privacy, avoidance of backbiting, mockery and insult, modesty and responsible use of time are analyzed. The article identifies the most common ethical violations in online communication, compares Islamic adab with the modern concept of digital citizenship and offers practical recommendations for developing a culture of online communication among young people.
