Digital or virtual and technological developments have led to significant and multidimensional changes in the lives of individuals and societies. This process has also manifested itself as a necessary result of transferring and articulating daily life to the virtual universe in a multidimensional way. In other words, virtual life’s multidimensional siege and hegemony have established themselves as a reality in individual and social life. This virtual reality seems to have diversified and enriched lately, especially with the content and fiction of the metaverse. Metaverse (beyond the universe), which contains virtual content with augmented reality, is a digital platform that allows users to create virtual worlds with an impressive and attractive 3D interface and avatars. Metaverse, in which almost every area of daily life is hypothetically fictionalized through avatars, is, in a sense, a parallel universe virtualization focused on games or entertainment, image, hedonism, and consumption. As a result, Metaverse platforms contain some religious and social risks as well as opportunities. In this context, what are the religious and social manifestations of the metaverse as a virtual space where many daily activities are carried out? Engages in a critical discussion of the question. Document analysis and (participatory) observation methods were used in the study.
