Abstract

The digital revolution has shifted the educational paradigm to a home-based learning ecosystem, demanding a transformation in the role of parents into active co-educators. Indonesian Muslim families face the challenge of integrating the values ​​of monotheism, adab, and morals with their children’s digital literacy, yet Islamic parenting practices remain normative without measurable evaluation. This study maps effective and Islamic digital mediation strategies in home-based education and formulates an integrative framework for Indonesian Muslim families. An integrative qualitative literature review explored 1,247 articles from 2020-2025 from six databases, resulting in 55 final articles (4.4%) analyzed using a thematic-narrative approach. The synthesis identified six themes: (1) combined active-restrictive mediation reduces cyber risk by 45%, (2) structured routines of 90 minutes/day reduce negative impacts by 40%, (3) scheduled recitation of the Koran 5 days/week increases internalization of values ​​by 60%, (4) single communication reduces miscommunication by 70%, (5) parental eHealth literacy improves children’s healthy behavior by 55%, (6) meaningful digital play of 50% screen time improves learning by 40%. Success indicators: mentoring 60%/week, value dialogue 3 times/week, rule consistency 80%/week. Recommendations: parents implement integrated daily SOPs, schools provide digital-religious literacy training, the government develops verified Islamic applications, and researchers conduct longitudinal studies for standardized Islamic digital parenting instruments.
