Abstract

Every aspect of one's life, from educating oneself through YouTube to finding a suitor on dating apps, shows how intertwined one's life is with digitalisation. COVID-19 has only allowed it to proliferate further. This chapter examines how different digitalisation policy initiatives in Brunei during COVID-19 have enabled the creation of a digital Islamic society through an Islamic governance perspective. A digital ethnographic approach was employed, and data were drawn from three sources: 1) document analysis, 2) social media, and 3) observation. Analysis was carried out using the Maqāṣid collaborative framework. Results from the study show that a digital Islamic society is currently being shaped in Brunei in all aspect of the Maqāṣid of the Sharia.
