The Response of Islamic Society to the Era of Society 5.0: A Conceptual Framework

Abstract

Society 5.0 places digital technologies within a human-centered social system, but technological integration also creates educational, social, and health challenges that require ethical and contextual responses. This study formulated a conceptual framework for Muslim communities by integrating these three dimensions with values derived from the Qur'an and Hadith. A qualitative library research design with an inductive orientation was used. Primary sources consisted of the Qur'an and Hadith as normative references, while secondary sources consisted of peer-reviewed articles published in Scopus-indexed journals on Society 5.0, education, digital technology, social relations, tolerance, mental health, and Islamic spiritual care. The literature was collected through documentation, selected according to topical relevance, source credibility, and compatibility with the analytical dimensions, and analyzed through qualitative content analysis. Source comparison was used to distinguish normative propositions from empirical and conceptual claims in the reviewed literature. The synthesis produced three connected dimensions. The educational dimension combines digital literacy, ethical technology use, emerging learning technologies, tolerance, and value formation. The social dimension centers on ta'awun, solidarity, attentiveness, tolerance, and responsibility toward others. The health dimension links digital health education, family support, professional care, culturally meaningful spiritual resources, and psychological well-being. The resulting framework positions Islamic values not as a substitute for technological competence or scientific knowledge, but as an ethical orientation for their use. Because the study is conceptual and literature-based, the proposed relationships should be treated as theoretically informed propositions rather than empirically validated causal effects.
