The rapid advancement of information and communication technology in the digital age has driven profound transformation in educational practice, including in Islamic educational institutions such as madrasah. This study aims to describe the utilization of digital media in Aqidah Akhlak learning, analyze students' learning interest dynamics following media implementation, and identify supporting and inhibiting factors at Madrasah Aliyah Hasyim Asy'ari Jogoroto Jombang. A descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design was employed; data were collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews with the principal, the Aqidah Akhlak teacher, and four students, as well as analysis of learning documents. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model comprising reduction, display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through source, technique, and time triangulation. Findings indicate that digital media, including YouTube videos, PowerPoint presentations, and interactive quizzes, significantly increased students' focus, engagement, and enthusiasm. Ninety percent of students reported that Aqidah Akhlak material became easier to understand and less monotonous due to the concrete visualizations offered by digital media. Key supporting factors included progressive school policy, availability of LCD facilities and internet access, ease of accessing online learning resources, and students' high digital literacy. Conversely, unstable internet connections, uneven device distribution, teachers' limited preparation time, and varying technological competency among teachers remain systemic challenges requiring addressed.
