Background: The digital transformation has significantly changed the pattern of religious learning among university students. In Purwokerto, this shift is evident in the declining student participation in campus mosque activities. While these mosques were originally built not only as places of worship but also as centers for Islamic learning and community engagement, students now prefer to access religious knowledge via digital platforms such as WhatsApp and YouTube, which are perceived as more practical and aligned with their academic routines. Purpose: This study explores how university students engage in Islamic learning through social media (‘ngaji medsos’) and its impact on their religious attitudes. Method: The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach observations, interviews, and documentation at Universitas Jenderal Soedirman. Results: Findings show that WhatsApp and YouTube are preferred for flexibility and accessibility. Conclusion: While ngaji medsos facilitates learning, it cannot fully replace the mosque’s role in spiritual and community development. The study underscores the need for campus mosques to adapt to digital culture to enhance student engagement and ethical development.
