<![CDATA[In the era of digital disruption, digital literacy extends beyond technical competence to encompass ethical awareness and responsible media engagement. Gen Z, having grown up in a technology-saturated environment, requires a strong foundation of values to navigate the complexities of the digital sphare. This study aims to critically analyze the role of Ḥadīth as a source of values and ethics in shaping digital literacy awareness among Gen Z, ensuring that the use of technology is not only proficient but also morally grounded and socially responsible. The study is motivated by the increasing use of social media and digital platforms that are frequently misused for the spread of misinformation (hoax), hate speech, and other forms of unethical behaviour. Ḥadīth as one of the authentic sources of Islamic teachings provides a normative framework for cultivating critical, ethical, and responsible attitudes in the digital space. This research uses a qualitative method, using a literature review and content analysis approach. Data were collected from selected Ḥadīth texts related to communication manners, social responsibility, and ethics of information dissemination. The results demonstrate that Ḥadīth plays a significant role in building digital literacy among Gen Z. Core values such as honesty, responsibility in conveying information, and the obligation to verify the information (tabayyun) are highly relevant in addressing the challenges of the digital era. By internalizing these values grounded on Ḥadīth, Gen Z can engage with digital technology more crtitically and responsibly, thereby promoting productive and positive use of digital media.]]>
