<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in addressing the moral crisis triggered by viral culture among youth in the digital era. Using a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical library research method, the study explores how social media has reshaped youth values, identity, and moral orientation toward a culture of popularity and social validation. The findings reveal that viral culture weakens integrity and spirituality, leading to impulsive behavior and moral decline. Islamic Religious Education plays a strategic role as a moral and spiritual compass by strengthening digital literacy grounded in Islamic ethics, integrating religious values into learning, and empowering teachers as digital role models. Revitalizing PAI through adaptive curricula, technology-based learning innovations, and collaboration among schools, families, and communities is essential to form a digitally intelligent, ethically responsible, and spiritually grounded generation. This study concludes that PAI is not merely a religious subject but a transformative force in building moral and spiritual awareness amidst the rapid flow of digital culture.]]>
