This paper explores the intersection of Islamic ethics, the Anthropocene, and transhumanism, focusing on the necessity of integrating responsibility ethics into Islamic thought. It argues that traditional frameworks of deontological, intentional, and virtue ethics, while foundational, are insufficient to address the complex ethical dilemmas posed by globalization, environmental crises, and technological advancements. Drawing on Al-Māturīdī's theological insights, particularly his defense of free will and the concept of the "moment of inner resistance," this study proposes a responsibility ethics framework that complements traditional Islamic teachings. This framework emphasizes human autonomy, the rejection of blind imitation (taqlīd), and the necessity of considering long-term consequences. By reimagining ethical decision-making, this work highlights the potential for Islamic theology to engage with contemporary challenges, fostering a balanced coexistence of technological and spiritual progress.

This issue is born out of a pressing realization: we are no longer on the brink of a transhumanist future – we are already living in it. Our contemporary epoch is characterized by rapid technological innovation and global interconnectedness, realities that are inseparable from the very fabric of modern society. In this context, transhumanist ideas have moved from the realm of speculative philosophy to a lived experience – a force that reshapes not only our technological landscape but also our cultural, ethical, and religious paradigms. The advancements in biotechnology, artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, and cognitive enhancement have ushered humanity into an era where the boundaries of what it means to be human are being redrawn.
