<![CDATA[This study examines the use of TikTok and its influence on the religious behavior of Muslim adolescents in Sukadana Ilir Village, Bunga Mayang District, North Lampung. The research focuses on late adolescents aged 17–21 years who use TikTok as part of their daily activities. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving five informants. The findings reveal that TikTok is primarily used for entertainment purposes, such as relieving boredom, following trends, and accessing light information. Although the platform provides access to Islamic preaching (da'wah) content and spiritual motivational materials that may contribute positively to religious development, the study found that its negative effects are more prominent. These effects include a decline in religious discipline, neglect of prayer obligations, and reduced participation in socio-religious activities. Furthermore, adolescents tend to show greater interest in entertainment content than in religious content, resulting in religious learning and understanding receiving less attention. This study concludes that TikTok has a significant influence on adolescents’ religious behavior, particularly when accompanied by inadequate self-regulation and limited parental guidance. The findings highlight the importance of strengthening digital literacy programs for parents, educators, and educational institutions to encourage more responsible and meaningful use of TikTok that supports both personal development and religious values.]]>
