Literature Review: The Role of Islamic Education in Building Ethics in the Modern Era

Abstract

This research aims to formulate an applicative approach in building ethics in the modern era based on Islamic values. In the midst of globalization and digitalization, society faces an ethical crisis marked by the rise of hoaxes, hate speech, and moral degradation. This research uses qualitative research with literature method. The results show that Islamic values such as shiddiq (honesty), amanah (responsibility), and tabayyun (verification) are relevant to be applied in the digital space. Islamic education, as a holistic system, plays a strategic role in character building and ethics internalization through exemplary approaches, habituation, and curriculum integration. The challenges of its implementation include the gap between theory and practice, the lack of competence of educators, and the weak adaptation of the curriculum to the times. Therefore, it is necessary to revitalize Islamic education through collaboration between schools, families and communities. Contextual and transformative Islamic ethics are considered capable of answering contemporary moral problems thoroughly.
