The issues are not merely related to the lack of curriculum adaptation to contemporary developments, but also include infrastructure limitations, low digital literacy, and the challenge of maintaining the relevance of Islamic values amidst the rapid flow of globalized information. These factors represent strategic challenges in shaping a generation that excels not only academically but also possesses moral integrity and readiness to face the dynamics of the modern age. One fundamental problem lies in the Islamic education curriculum, which still tends to focus on textual content and has yet to fully integrate interactive digital technology approaches. In the Society 5. era, learning should no longer be confined to conventional methods, but e-learning, multimedia-based collaborative platforms. Such integration is essential not only to increase student competencies relevant to the needs of an increasingly digitized global workforce. Studies have emphasized the necessity of curriculum reform to be more responsive to technological changes and global demands (Isnawati et al. , 2023. Putriani & Hudaidah, 2. Another pressing challenge concerns the limited digital literacy among Many teachers, including Islamic education teachers, still lack sufficient skills in optimizing technology for classroom instruction. Teachers are the key actors in determining the success of technology integration in learning. Without digital literacy mastery, it becomes difficult for them to implement combine Islamic materials with modern technological media. Various studies indicate that intensive training and professional development programs in technology skills are an urgent necessity, particularly in the context of value-based Islamic education (Yahya, 2023. Nafiah et , 2023. Sobri et al. , 2. The relevance of Islamic values in the era of information disruption also poses a significant challenge. Rapid technological development enables the easy access of information that may not always align with moral principles and Islamic teachings. In such circumstances. Islamic education plays a strategic role in instilling moral filters through the strengthening of Islamic character Teachers are expected to integrate academic literacy with religious literacy so that students can critically evaluate the information they receive while internalizing noble Islamic values in their daily lives (Zaenab et al. , 2020. Sofanudin et al. , 2. This approach not only safeguards value integrity but also strengthens the moral resilience of the younger generation amid the rapid pace of change. Infrastructure inequality further exacerbates the challenges. Uneven internet access and limited technological facilities in various regionsAiespecially in remote areasAihinder the implementation of digital learning. Such disparities affect not only the quality of education but also risk widening the educational gap between urban and rural areas. Therefore, it is crucial for governments, educational institutions, and the private sector to educational infrastructure, including in AL-HIKMAH. Volume. Nomor 2.
