Abstract

The digital era has profoundly transformed early childhood education, creating both opportunities and challenges for Islamic Religious Education (PAI). Young children are increasingly exposed to digital media that influences their cognitive, emotional, and moral development from an early age. This condition requires innovative educational strategies that not only enhance religious knowledge but also foster spirituality, moral character, and ethical awareness rooted in Islamic values. This study employs a qualitative literature review approach, analyzing scholarly works published between 2018 and 2023 related to early childhood spirituality, Islamic education, digital literacy, and character education. The findings reveal that effective spiritual development in Islamic early childhood education requires an integrated framework that combines the internalization of aqidah, ibadah, and akhlaq with value-based digital literacy, child-centered pedagogy, and character-oriented curriculum design. Furthermore, the success of these strategies depends on strong collaboration among educators, families, and communities, as well as continuous formative evaluation. This study contributes a conceptual foundation for developing spiritually grounded, pedagogically innovative, and contextually responsive Islamic early childhood education in the digital era.

Abstract

The post-digital transformation of education has fundamentally reshaped learning ecosystems, positioning digital technologies as integral to pedagogical practices, identity formation, and value construction. Within this context, the emergence of the metaverse introduces immersive virtual environments that profoundly influence children’s spiritual development. While virtual culture presents risks such as identity fragmentation, diminished reflective capacity, and the erosion of traditional spiritual practices, it also offers opportunities for innovative, experiential, and relational learning. This study employs a qualitative literature review to examine the intersection of post-digital education, children’s spirituality, and the metaverse, with particular attention to the reconstruction of Islamic Religious Education. Drawing on interdisciplinary scholarship in education, digital culture, spirituality, and identity studies, the article synthesizes key challenges and pedagogical possibilities arising from immersive technologies. The findings suggest that a reconstructed approach to religious education—grounded in ethical governance, experiential learning, and cultural sensitivity—can function as a strategic framework for nurturing children’s spirituality within metaverse ecosystems. The study argues that fostering spiritual well-being in post-digital contexts requires not resistance to technological innovation, but intentional pedagogical design that aligns immersive digital environments with transcendent values and holistic human development.
