In the Islamic perspective, the concept of cybernetics resonates with the principles of interconnectedness, balance, and stewardship found within Islamic teachings. The modern era, marked by technological advancements, mirrors these principles through cybernetics’ emphasis on circularity, complexity, and self-regulation. This technological evolution has empowered marginalized voices, including those from previously colonized nations, fostering a more inclusive dialogue within the framework of international governance. This shift signifies a departure from the colonial legacy towards a landscape where power dynamics are redefined, not through dominance but through mutual respect and understanding, reflecting the Islamic ethos of justice and equity. The intricate network of international governance today, characterized by its non-linear and self-regulating nature, aligns with the Islamic view of the world as a complex, interconnected system where every part has a role and responsibility. Through this lens, technology transcends its utilitarian function, becoming a means to enhance human interaction and equitable relations between nations, in line with the Islamic principle of Ummah (global community). This discourse aims to explore the post-colonial interplay of power and governance through the insights provided by cybernetics, offering a perspective that harmonizes with Islamic values of balance, justice, and collective well-being.
