This study aims to analyze the impact of TikTok trends on the behaviorof female students (santriwati) at Pondok Pesantren Mamba’ul Ma’arif DenanyarJombang. As a social media platform for entertainment and creative expression,TikTok has a dual effect: it can positively enhance emotional well-being but alsocause dependency that disrupts learning and religious practices. This researchemploys a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing interviews and observationsto gain an accurate understanding of changes in the santriwati’s behavior. Theresults indicate that exposure to TikTok content inconsistent with Islamic valuesencourages the adoption of lifestyles and norms that contradict pesantrenteachings, hinders the development of religious knowledge, and weakens religiousnorms and values. The study applies consumer culture theory to explain theidentity formation process influenced by symbolic consumption from socialmedia content. Therefore, it is crucial for pesantren institutions and families tostrengthen digital literacy, supervision, and comprehensive religious education,enabling santriwati to use TikTok wisely without compromising Islamic values.These findings are expected to serve as a reference for managing social media usewithin pesantren environments.
