Etika memandang konten media sosial: Kontekstualisasi qs. Thaha ayat 131 dalam tafsir al-misbah untuk membendung fomo
سياق الآية ١٣١ من سورة طه في تفسير المصباح لكبح الخوف من فوات الشيء (FOMO)
Keywords:
Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), Social Media, Tafsir Al-Misbah, Qana’ah, Digital Ethics.Abstract
The phenomenon of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) on social media has become a highly relevant psychospiritual health issue in the contemporary digital era. The culture of endless scrolling exposes individuals to the achievements and luxurious lifestyles of others, thereby triggering social anxiety due to social comparison tendencies. This study aims to examine M. Quraish Shihab's interpretation in Tafsir Al-Misbah regarding QS. Tāhā [20]: 131 and contextualize it as an ethical foundation for viewing social media content to curb the FOMO syndrome. Utilizing a qualitative library research method with a descriptive-analytical approach, this study analyzes the linguistic meaning of the prohibition against stretching one's eyes (lā tamuddanna ’aynayka), the nature of digital content as the flower of worldly life (zaharatal-ḥayātid-dunyā), and the essence of life's trials (linaftinahum fīh). The results indicate that QS. Tāhā verse 131 offers a psychospiritual solution centered on restructuring visual perspectives and strengthening inner satisfaction. The contextualization of this verse generates practical digital ethics, including intentional scrolling, assertive content curation, and internalizing digital qana'ah values by shifting focus toward real and eternal blessings (rizqu Rabbika khairun wa abqā). This study concludes that FOMO is not countered by opposing technology, but rather by managing the visual ethics and spiritual awareness of users in cyberspace.
