Metaverse and its expected effects on Muslims
(UMT Lahore, 2023-09-22) Hamza Waseem
Being a Muslim, it should be our first priority to examine everything on Shariah principles before utilizing it. This is the way of our ancestors; the companions of Prophet (SAW) used to ask him immediately after they found anything suspicious. Then, after companions, the founders of different schools of thought tried to solve all possible complications of the near future. But the door of fiqh is still open as it is related to deal with contemporary issues. It is now our duty to inspect and solve modern-day issues. Over the years, we have seen countless technological developments, and there are few of them about which different scholars gave different opinions. Also, few of them have prohibited aspects and at the same time can be positively used as well. Metaverse is an emerging development, and very similar to the internet and social media, there will be some prohibited aspects, and some of its features are beneficial also. Metaverse is said to be a revolution in the world of the internet. It is ambitious to analyze each aspect of metaverse because it has not yet arrived, but because some of its features are disclosed, it can be analyzed.
