This research is a theoretical review that aims to examine the role of faith education in the family as a strategy to prevent Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) in children. IGD is an addictive behavioural disorder that increasingly threatens children's psychosocial development in the digital era. Belief education in Islam is believed to be able to form the foundation of children's faith and self-control, which theoretically can prevent the tendency of addictive behaviour towards online games. Through a literature review approach, this paper analyses the relationship between the concept of faith, family structure, and IGD symptoms based on the scientific literature of the last five years. The results show that the internalisation of the value of tawhid, strengthening spiritual awareness, and exemplary parents in guiding children religiously contribute to the formation of healthy digital behaviour. Thus, belief education can be used as a holistic preventive model in the context of mental and moral development of Muslim children against the risk of IGD.
