Crossroads between islamic spirituality and the fourth industrial revolution

Bensaid, Benaouda (author), Jumahat, Tajulashikin (author)

Current research acknowledges the unprecedented effects of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) on socio-economic development, human interpersonal relations, and day-to-day life. It is worth scrutinising how this shift may cost infrastructural development, economic growth, and human development worldwide, shaping the planet‘s future. Within the scope of maintaining human‘s centrality in the era of 4IR, it is critical to draw serious attention to the relevance of spirituality in developing new and existing technologies. This study examines the Muslim framework of spirituality and its proposed pathways for 4IR. This study further concludes that for Muslims, spirituality adds meaning and value to the ethical design, production, and management of 4IR and enables it to better serve the composition of human societies and their emerging needs without harming the well-being of the planet, its resources, or the future of humankind.

Abstract

Sedanje raziskave priznavajo neslutene učinke četrte industrijske revolucije (4IR) na družbenoekonomski razvoj, na medčloveške odnose in na vsakdanje življenje. Vredno je globlje preučiti, kaj bo takšen premik zahteval od razvoja infrastrukture, od ekonomske rasti in od človeškega razvoja po celotnem svetu in kako bo oblikoval prihodnost planeta. Priznavajoč ohranitev osrednje vloge človeka v dobi 4IR, se je nujno resno posvetiti pomenu duhovnosti pri razvijanju novih in obstoječih tehnologij. Naša študija preučuje islamski duhovni okvir in njene smernice za 4IR. Študija nadalje ugotavlja, da duhovnost muslimanom podeljuje smisel in vrednost etičnemu načrtovanju, proizvajanju in upravljanju v razmerah 4IR in ji omogoča koristnejše delovanje v prid človeškim družbam in njihovim porajajočim se potrebam, ne da bi pri tem povzročala škodo blagostanju planeta, njegovim virom ali prihodnosti človeštva.
