Globalization has had a significant impact on society, especially on the younger generation. Challenges arising from globalization include moral decline, changes in mindsets and communication styles, misuse of technology, and the rise of Westernized cultures such as pragmatism, hedonism, and individualism among the younger generation. This study aims to examine the role of Islamic education in shaping the sustainable Islamic character of the younger generation, enabling them to face the challenges of this era of globalization. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach (Library Research), with data collection techniques including content analysis from various relevant sources such as books, journals, or scientific articles related to the theme of Islamic education, the Islamic character of the younger generation, and globalization. The results of the study indicate that the role of Islamic education is very important in shaping sustainable Islamic character in the era of globalization. By integrating three main pillars, namely, faith, sharia, and morals, as well as the application of values ​​such as trust, ihsan, tawakal, and ukhuwah in daily life, Islamic education can produce individuals who have strong beliefs, moral behavior, and have high social sensitivity. This research contributes to the development of curriculum for Islamic educational institutions, integrating technology with religious knowledge, digital literacy from an early age, and the role of parents, educators and the community environment as supporting factors in forming a sustainable Islamic character in facing the challenges of the era of globalization.
