Abstract

This paper focuses on 'The Impacts of Gadget Use on Maqasid Shariah in the Context of Mind Preservation: A study among UiTM Shah Alam Students'. One of the positive impacts of using gadgets is to increase awareness among respondents. Use of gadgets in Islam must, therefore, be subject to the restrictions of Islamic law. It is hoped that this study will help the relevant parties to address the abuse of gadgets by recommending the appropriate guidelines for the optimal, decisive, comprehensive, balanced and practical use of devices among adolescents from the Islamic perspective.

Keywords: maqasid Shariah; mind preservation; gadgets; impact, mind function
