The development of global digital technology, including AI, social media, fintech, and IoT, has increasingly shaped communication, learning, work, and the religious practices of Muslim communities in Indonesia. This transformation brings substantial benefits but also raises ethical challenges such as privacy concerns, hoaxes, and potential moral deviations. This study aims to analyze the attitudes of the Muslim community toward global technological trends and to assess how Islamic values influence acceptance, selectivity, and cautious behavior in technology use. Using a quantitative approach, this research involved 40 Muslim respondents selected through purposive sampling who completed an online Likert-scale questionnaire to evaluate perceptions of technological benefits, ethical concerns, usage intensity, and compatibility with sharia principles. The findings indicate that most respondents hold a positive attitude toward technology, as it is considered to enhance daily efficiency and facilitate access to digital religious services. However, cautious attitudes also emerge due to concerns about data privacy, negative content, hoaxes, and risks of declining moral quality. These attitudes are influenced by age, education level, and religiosity. This study contributes to the understanding of how Muslims adopt an adaptive-critical stance, accepting the benefits of technology while upholding Islamic values such as public interest (maslahah) and the principle of prudence. These findings highlight the importance of Islamic ethics-based digital literacy to ensure technology use that is safe, selective, and positively oriented.
