The Society 5.0 era positions technology as a means of serving human needs, requiring Islamic Religious Education (PAI) to adapt without losing its core mission of nurturing students' faith, morals, and spirituality. This article examines the conceptual foundations, forms of use, benefits, challenges, and strategies for utilizing digital media and social media in PAI instruction. It employs a qualitative library research design, analyzing books, journal articles, and policy documents descriptively and thematically. The review indicates that digital media (instructional videos, learning management systems, interactive multimedia, Qur'an applications, online quizzes) and social media (WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) can enrich learning resources, widen interaction space, and increase student engagement; however, their effectiveness depends on pedagogical design aligned with PAI objectives rather than on the technology itself. Main challenges include teachers' digital competence, infrastructure gaps, misinformation and non-credible religious content, distraction, and the risk of diminishing spiritual and role-model dimensions. Recommended strategies include strengthening teachers' TPACK competence, content curation, digital ethics grounded in the principles of tabayyun and adab, and blended learning that preserves the teacher-student relationship. A three-phase implementation framework is proposed, which still requires empirical testing.
