In a society increasingly immersed in the digital era, technological transformation has significantly altered the educational paradigm. Education, as an integral part of character and personality formation, is not exempt from the impact of the digital revolution3. Character education can be broadly defined as the process of developing cultural and national character values within students so that they embody values and characteristics that reflect their true The application of these values can be realized in life as religious, nationalist, productive, and creative members of society and citizens 5. The actualization of character is manifested in behavior that results from the combination of biological character and environmental interaction. Character can be shaped through education, as education is the most effective means of awakening individuals to their human identity 6. Education produces human beings with refined minds and souls, sharp intellect, physical agility, and a deep awareness of their own creation 7. Compared to other factors, education has two to three times greater influence in shaping human quality8. Essentially, character education aims to foster positive values, integrity, and individual morality, and is now faced with unprecedented dynamics. One of the main challenges in character education during the digital era is the influence of social media and online content. Children and adolescents are often exposed to various types of information, including those that are not always positive or supportive of good character development. Damaging content, hoaxes, and cyberbullying behaviors can affect the moral and social development of younger The presence of the internet, including social media, has opened gateways between countries and made everything seemingly accessible10. In responding to these dynamics. Islamic character education becomes a necessity. It is defined as a conscious and systematic effort to instill Islamic values sourced from the Qur'an and Sunnah as behavioral guidelines in all aspects of life, including in digital interactions. Its main focus is the development of Islamic morality . , which is the core of Islamic teachings and a manifestation of genuine faith . and piety . The Prophet Hasbiyallah.

Strong character education is an essential element in shaping young generations who are not only intellectually bright but also emotionally and spiritually mature. In the rapidly advancing age of globalization and digitalization, challenges to individual integrity and morality have become more complex 19. Digital technology has become an inseparable part of adolescents' lives, offering unlimited access to information, virtual social interactions, and various forms of entertainment. On the one hand, these advancements present great opportunities for self-development 20. On the other hand, without a strong foundation of characterAiparticularly religious characterAistudents are vulnerable to being swept away by destructive content, foreign values that contradict religious norms, and deviant behaviors that distance them from their identity and sense of self. In Islamic-based schools, religious character education is not just supplementary but must be the main foundation of the entire learning and personality development process. Religious character encompasses deep faith, consistent piety, and firmly rooted spiritual These values influence not only how students worship or fulfill religious obligations but also shape their way of thinking, behaving, and acting in daily lifeAiincluding in digital Religious character gives students a guide in filtering and sorting information, maintaining ethical communication online, and avoiding content that contradicts Islamic faith and morals 21. The context of this study is Al Fajar Islamic Senior High School, an Islamic-based school where Islamic character education serves as the main foundation in the entire learning process and student personality development. The goal is not merely to produce technologically competent graduates, but to cultivate a generation of Muslims with a strong spiritual foundation. Therefore, this study is driven by the urgency to explore in depth how Islamic character education, with emphasis on Islamic morals . , can serve as a shield . and moral compass for students in facing a fast-paced, open, and challenging digital era. This study aims to present a comprehensive picture of the relevance of Islamic character education in shaping students who are not only skilled in interacting and using technology, but who also steadfastly uphold faith values and remain accountable to Allah SWT in every aspect of their lives. In responding to these dynamics, character education is widely acknowledged as a However, a merely secular or universal approach to character may lack the transcendent spiritual foundation required to counteract the profound moral and faith-based Bambang Dwi Hartono.

While the general principles of digital citizenshipAisuch as responsibility, empathy, and critical thinkingAiare essential, they often operate within a temporal framework. A significant gap exists in the literature, as few studies have empirically investigated the internalization of specifically Islamic digital ethics, such as muraqabah . ivine supervisio. and the application of adab (Islamic etiquett. , among high school students. Most research on digital ethics either adopts a generic moral perspective or discusses Islamic concepts theoretically without grounding them in qualitative data from school environments. This study aims to fill this gap by exploring how Islamic character education, with emphasis on Islamic morals . , serves as a shield . and moral compass for students at Al Fajar Islamic Senior High School. It seeks to present a comprehensive picture of the relevance of Islamic character education in shaping students who are not only skilled in using technology but who also steadfastly uphold faith values and remain accountable to Allah SWT in every digital action. LITERATURE REVIEW Character Education Character education in the digital era is often framed by secular pedagogical and psychological theories. Thomas Lickona's model, for instance, provides a robust tripartite framework for character development, encompassing moral knowing . ognitive understanding of right and wron. , moral feeling . he emotional and empathetic dimension, including conscience and self-respec. , and moral behavior . he consistent application of virtues in actio. In Indonesia, character education has become a key focus of the education system, particularly since the Reform era 23. Its aim is to foster national identity and noble character in accordance with Pancasila as the foundation of the state. Moreover, the involvement of parents and the broader community in character education is crucial in creating a supportive The goals of character education are to develop students' potential to become individuals who are faithful and devoted to God Almighty, and to cultivate noble character, health, knowledge, skills, creativity, independence, and responsibility as democratic citizens. It also aims to instill mutual respect and appreciation, as well as to shape good character in daily life25.

Cooperation and integrity are other key values in character education. Additionally, integrityAiwhich encompasses honesty and mutual respectAiforms the foundation for shaping good character. Character education also plays a role in forming national identity and understanding the values of Pancasila. Strong character education in individuals will contribute to building a harmonious and civilized While these frameworks are valuable, they operate primarily within a sociopsychological realm. For Muslim educators, these dimensions find their profound and ultimate meaning when integrated with the Islamic worldview.

The Digital Era The digital era is a period of transformation marked by the rapid development of information and communication technology (ICT)27. The digital era refers to the use of electronic devices and the internet to access, process, and disseminate information efficiently. This transformation affects not only how people interact and communicate but also reshapes dynamics in various sectors, including education, the economy, and culture. The digital era has become a significant milestone in human history, where information can be accessed instantly and communication transcends geographical boundaries28. A deep understanding of the digital era is essential to anticipate both its positive and negative impacts. Key features of the digital era include easy access to information and instant Through the internet, individuals can obtain various types of information within seconds, enhancing public awareness and understanding of global issues. However, this convenience also brings challenges, such as the risk of spreading inaccurate information or Therefore, digital literacy is an essential skill that individuals must possess to filter the information they receive and make informed decisions 30. With this skill, people can use information more effectively and responsibly. Communication transformation in the digital era is also very significant. Social media and instant messaging apps allow individuals to interact in real-time, creating closer connections among people from diverse backgrounds. The digital era is characterized by rapid advancements in information and communication technology (ICT), enabling instant access to information and communication across geographical boundaries. While this ease offers significant benefits, it also presents ethical and spiritual challenges from an Islamic perspective. For instance, the ease of information dissemination increases the risk of spreading fitnah . , ghibah . , and false news . Exposure to content that contradicts Islamic valuesAisuch as materialism, violence, and pornographyAias well as the potential for wasted time that disrupts worship, is a serious concern. Hence, digital literacy that is not only technical but also ethical and spiritual is crucial31. Religious Character in Character Education Unlike the more general notion of Aureligious character,Ay Islamic character or akhlaq Islami refers to attitudes and behaviors that reflect obedience to the teachings of the QurAoan and Sunnah in all aspects of life. This is not limited to ritual aspects, but also serves as a guide for Jie Zhang and Zhisheng Chen.

LickonaAos framework of moral knowing, moral feeling, and moral behavior can be understood through the lens of Islam. Moral knowing in Islam means understanding values such as shidq . , amanah . , and taqwa . wareness of Alla. Moral feeling involves mahabbah . ove for Allah and His command. and khashyah . ear of His displeasur. Moral behavior is the real-life manifestation . of this knowledge and emotion, guided by shariAoah (Islamic la. Without integration of these divine values, moral education risks becoming shallow 32. Classical and contemporary Islamic educational thinkers have laid strong foundations for this concept. Imam Al-Ghazali, through his concept of tazkiyatun nafs, emphasized that purification of the soul from spiritual diseases . mrad al-qulu. such as arrogance . , envy . , and showing off . is a prerequisite for forming good character. This process of soul purification becomes an essential spiritual defense against the temptations of negative digital content and distractions that can erode spirituality 33. Hasan Langgulung elaborated on three dimensions of relationships that must be cultivated 34: Habl min Allah (Relationship with Alla. This vertical dimension includes faith, piety, and performing worship. In the digital context, it is relevant in using technology for positive purposes such as seeking religious knowledge, accessing digital QurAoan apps, making remembrance . online, avoiding forbidden content, and maintaining prayer times despite digital busyness. The core is to uphold taqwa in every digital Habl min al-Nas (Relationship with Other. This horizontal dimension governs social interactions. In the digital era, adab . in habl min al-nas is critical. It includes the obligation to avoid disgraceful actions such as ghibah . , fitnah . preading slander or false accusation. , namimah . ossiping or inciting divisio. , spreading fasad . orruption or chao. , and kadzib . ying or spreading hoaxe. Islam proactively commands tabayyun . erification of informatio. before sharing, as emphasized in QurAoan Surah Al-Hujurat verse 6. Conversely, digital communication should be adorned with qaulan sadida . ruthful and straightforward speec. and qaulan layyina . entle and polite speec. , as exemplified in the prophetic communication principles. Relationship with the Environment/Nature Although not explicitly discussed in the digital context here, this principle includes the responsibility to maintain sustainability, which may relate to issues like digital carbon footprints or electronic waste.

Their digital behavior, the way they integrate technology with Islamic valuesAior their neglect thereofAiwill be observed and potentially imitated by students. This modeling becomes an important method of value transmission and character formation. The thoughts of Islamic education figures such as Ibn Rushd. Ahmad Dahlan. Al-Zarnuji, and Ibn Khaldun also provide valuable insights on ethics, integration of knowledge, and educational methodologies that are highly relevant in the contemporary digital context 35. METHOD The study employed a purposive sampling technique to select the six student This non-probability sampling method was chosen to ensure the researchers could identify and select individuals who were especially knowledgeable about and had experienced the phenomenon of interest namely, the internalization of Islamic values in their digital lives. The selection criteria for the participants were as follows: A Active Engagement in Digital Platforms: Students who are regular users of social media . Instagram. WhatsAp. and digital tools for learning, as observed by their teachers and evidenced through school projects. A Involvement in School's Islamic Programs: Students who actively participate in the school's character-building programs, such as congregational prayers . halat berjamaa. Qur'an recitation sessions, and regular Islamic studies. A Willingness and Ability to Articulate Experiences: Students deemed by their homeroom or Islamic education teachers as reflective and capable of providing rich, detailed insights into their perceptions and experiences during in-depth interviews. This study adhered to standard ethical protocols for qualitative research involving human subjects: Informed Consent: Prior to data collection, informed consent was obtained from both the participants and their parents or guardians. They were provided with a detailed information sheet explaining the research purpose, procedures, potential risks and benefits, and their right to withdraw from the study at any time without penalty.

Conclusion Drawing and Verification: Systematically interpreting the displayed data to identify meaningful patterns, relationships, and explanations. Initial conclusions were continuously verified by checking against the raw data and through peer discussion to ensure they were well-grounded in the evidence. To ensure the trustworthiness and rigor of the findings, this study employed Lincoln and Guba's framework for establishing validity in qualitative research, which includes four key criteria: Credibility . nternal validit. : Was established through triangulation of data sources . bservation, interviews, documentatio. and methods. Additionally, peer debriefing was conducted, where fellow researchers reviewed the findings and analytical process, and member checking was performed, where preliminary findings were presented to participants to confirm the accuracy of their accounts. Transferability . xternal validit. : Instead of statistical generalizability, this study provides thick, rich descriptions of the context (Al Fajar Islamic Senior High Schoo. , the participants, and the research process. This allows readers to assess the extent to which the findings may be transferable to other similar settings. Dependability . : To ensure the research process is logical, traceable, and documented, a dependability audit was maintained. This involved keeping a detailed record of all research decisions, data collection steps, and analytical processes, allowing an external auditor to follow the research trail. Confirmability . : Confirmability was achieved by maintaining an audit trail that links the findings directly to the raw data . nterview transcripts, field notes. This demonstrates that the findings arise from the data itself and not from the researchers' predispositions, ensuring the study's findings are shaped by the participants and not by researcher.

DISCUSSION The results of this study affirm the fundamental role of Islamic character education in equipping students with moral and ethical guidance in the complex digital era. These findings align with the research of Adiyono, which highlights the challenges posed by digital content that contradicts Islamic values. Islamic character education not only provides a framework for distinguishing right from wrong according to shariAoah but also instills a profound sense of spiritual awareness. StudentsAo use of technology for learning and social interaction at Al Fajar Islamic Senior High School reflects their adaptation to the demands of the times. However, the integration of Islamic character ensures that this adaptation does not compromise fundamental values. Students' ability to apply sabr . and manage their emotions online, as well as to recognize and avoid disgraceful behavior such as ghibah . and fitnah . , indicates that Islamic character education focuses on personality developmentAinot merely academic achievement. The most significant finding is the internalization of the concept of divine accountability . uraqabah and hisa. , which is specifically realized through the awareness that all actions will be accounted for before Allah. Student statements connecting their online behavior with consequences of sin and afterlife accountability show that Islamic values are not only cognitively known . oral knowing in Lickona's term. but also emotionally felt . oral feelin. and practically implemented . oral behavio. This transcends the scope of secular digital ethics, linking every digital action to a transcendent dimension. The studentsAo commitment to prioritizing worship amidst digital temptations reflects an understanding of the importance of maintaining habl min Allah . elationship with Alla. as a source of spiritual strength. This is consistent with Al-GhazaliAos perspective on the importance of tazkiyatun nafs . urification of the sou. and the formation of khuluq . oble characte. through worship and inner refinement. These spiritual activities serve as active defenses. The application of adab in online communicationAisuch as avoiding hoaxes through tabayyun and speaking with qaulan sadida and qaulan layyinaAirepresents the realization of habl min al-nas . elationships with other. in the digital context. This affirms that Islamic teachings offer relevant and applicable ethical communication guidance for virtual interactions. The value of amanah in academic digital tasks also reflects the integrity instilled by character The role of the school environment as biah shalihah and of teachers as qudwah hasanah cannot be overstated. A supportive environment and good role models provide real assistance for the internalization of values. This supports BanduraAos social learning theory within the context of Islamic education, in which observation and imitation of behavioral models . eachers and peer. play a key role. Islamic values function as moral filters rooted in iman and taqwa. These filters are not passive but are actively formed through tazkiyatun nafs and reinforced by worship, biah shalihah, and qudwah hasanah. As emphasized by Tilaar. Islamic character education becomes a vital strategy to maintain moral identity amidst globalization and digitalization.

CONCLUSION Based on the findings and discussion, it can be concluded that Islamic character educationAiparticularly with a focus on instilling Islamic morals . Aiplays an essential role in shaping the behavior of students at Al Fajar Islamic Senior High School in the digital The students are not only capable of using technology for learning and social interaction but also demonstrate the internalization of Islamic moral and spiritual values in their digital Values such as amanah . rust and responsibilit. , shidq . , and especially the awareness of muraqabah . ivine supervisio. and hisab . ccountability in the hereafte. , serve as primary ethical guides in their behavior on social media and other digital platforms. The synergistic support from the Islamic school environment that implements the principles of biah shalihah, the involvement of parents through tarbiyah Islamiyah (Islamic parentin. , and spiritual habituation programs has proven effective in building students' awareness of Islamic digital ethics that are both responsible and ethical.

It is this very generation that is expected to navigate the digital world with ethical awareness and a strong moral foundation, as a manifestation of Islam omprehensive and holistic Isla. in contemporary life REFERENCES
