“Digitalization and Humanization: Sustainable Islamic Education in the Era of Technological Revolution”

Abstract

Digitalization and Humanization: Sustainable Islamic Education in the Era of Technological Revolution The rapid development of digital technology in the era of the 4.0 industrial revolution and toward Society 5.0 has brought significant changes to the world of education, including Islamic education. Digital transformation is not only changing the way teachers teach and students learn, but also demands a paradigm shift in understanding the essence of education, which is centered on human values. This article aims to analyze the relationship between digitalization and humanization in building a sustainable model of Islamic education amidst the current of technological revolution. This research employs a qualitative approach thru the method of literature review (library research), examining various up-to-date literature sources related to the integration of Islamic values in digital learning practices. The study results indicate that digitalization offers significant opportunities for learning innovation, expanding educational access, and enhancing 21st-century competencies in Muslim learners, such as critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity. However, without a humanizing touch that emphasizes spiritual values, ethics, and social responsibility, Islamic education risks falling into a mechanistic pattern that loses its transcendental dimension. Therefore, an integrative and holistic Islamic education paradigm is needed, which balances technological mastery with the development of noble morals and character. This article recommends strengthening Islamic-valued digital literacy for teachers and students, developing a value-based curriculum, and implementing learning that integrates technology and spirituality as steps toward adaptive, civilized, and sustainable Islamic education.
