MADANIA Vol. No. June 2025 Introduction The flow of globalization has had a significant impact on various aspects of life, including on the religious identity of students. Advances in information technology facilitate access to global culture and values, thus forming new understandings that often conflict with local and religious values. Salehan1, emphasized that the digitalization of culture encourages changes in traditional values towards individualism and a lower power distance, as shown by information technology that influences Hofstede's cultural dimensions at the national level. This encourages the convergence of global cultural values with a significant influence on local communities. Globalization presents serious challenges to religious values through exposure to different ideologies, popular culture, and worldviews. Ikechukwu O. Onuoha and Francis C. Odeke2 emphasized that this process often erodes the uniqueness of local religious values by promoting secular values and the homogenization of global For example, globalization encourages the erasure of traditional boundaries, which are often seen as a threat to the integrity of the religious and moral values of traditional societies. Likewise, the culture of consumerism and secularism that is widespread through social media, often, reduces the spiritual and moral values taught in religious This impact requires serious attention because if not handled properly, the younger generation has the potential to lose the religious identity that is the foundation of their morals. Relevant literature has extensively discussed the impact of globalization on local and religious values, but there is a gap in explaining how Islamic education can be an effective solution to shape Mohammad Salehan.

Therefore, this study aims to fill this gap with a more comprehensive approach that focuses on the role of Islamic education.
