<![CDATA[The rapid digital transformation in the disruptive era has profoundly affected students’ mental health and behavior, leading to increased emotional instability and juvenile delinquency among the so-called “Strawberry Generation.” This study is significant as it bridges the gap between modern technological approaches and Islamic spiritual guidance in student counseling. The research aims to develop a hybrid Islamic counseling model integrating artificial intelligence (AI) for early detection of psychological distress and Islamic values as spiritual interventions. Using a qualitative case study design at IBN Tegal, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and focus group discussions involving 15 students and three counselors. The findings reveal that the AI-assisted chatbot effectively identifies stress symptoms and provides Qur’anic verse recommendations, resulting in improved emotional control for 87% of participants. This hybrid model demonstrates that the synergy of AI technology and Islamic education fosters adaptive, responsive, and spiritually grounded mental health support for students.
