Islamic education plays an important role as a basis in shaping the character of students to have noble morals and be able to face challenges in today's digital world. In the midst of technological advances that bring a lot of fast information, not all content available in cyberspace is in accordance with moral and religious values. Islamic education not only teaches religious knowledge, but also instills values such as honesty, responsibility, and patience that are important to shape the overall personality of students. The challenges of the digital world such as gadget addiction, hoaxes and negative content need to be addressed with appropriate Islamic education strategies, including digital literacy based on Islamic values and supervision from teachers and parents. This way, Islamic education can be a strong foundation for students to stick to moral and spiritual values in the technological era, and build characters that are ready to face the changing times. Islamic education also has an important role in the formal and non-formal education system to support the formation of a noble generation.
