However, over time, the gig economy emerged so that in addition to full-time and part-time, people can also work in the gig economy (part-time) such as freelance, sharing economy and many others with a greater income than full-time and part-time. The further development of the gig economy, makes the choice of working in a gig way faster so that there is no evidence of studies that prove that gigs are slowing down, on the contrary, they are increasing from day to day. The development of this portion is closely related to the evolution in the world of evolution in the world of technology. Companies can now employ anyone from all over the world flexibly and can communicate well and work for the company.

This study analyzes the role of the gig economy in driving the growth of the creative sector and examines its compatibility with Islamic economic principles. Through a qualitative approach and literature review, the results show that the gig economy has contributed to an increase in creative workers' income (on average 30-50% higher than traditional jobs), as well as the expansion of global markets through digital platforms, and work flexibility that supports innovation. However, the main challenges include the absence of social security, contract uncertainty, and the pressure of technological adaptation. From an Islamic perspective, this research identifies opportunities for the integration of the principles of justice ('adl), benefit (maslahah), and profit sharing (mudharabah) in the gig economy model to create a more equitable and sustainable system. The findings provide policy recommendations for the development of a sharia-based creative economy in the digital era.
