<![CDATA[This article investigates emerging patterns of religious literacy and Islamic identity formation among university students in Indonesia, particularly within public and Islamic higher education institutions. Through mixed-methods research involving surveys, focus group discussions, and document analysis, the study identifies a significant shift in students’ modes of engaging with Islamic knowledge—from conventional textual study to digital platforms such as social media, online preachers, and algorithm-driven content.
