This study aims to synergize the strengthening of media literacy, the application of digital dakwah ethics, and digital pedagogical innovation as the main foundation in realizing meaningful, ethical, and relevant digitalization of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) that meets the demands of the times. The development of digital technology has transformed almost all aspects of life, including the realm of religious education and practice. This article examines the integration of digitalization in Islamic Religious Education and religious media literacy, focusing on three main pillars: dakwah media ethics, strengthening media literacy, and developing digital PAI pedagogy. This research uses a library research method with a qualitative-descriptive approach, analyzing various literature, journal articles, and related documents from 2019–2024. The results show that the digitalization of PAI not only transforms learning methods to be more interactive and flexible through platforms such as e-learning, social media, and religious applications, but also brings new challenges such as the spread of inaccurate information, degradation of dakwah ethics, and low critical thinking skills among students. Religious media literacy becomes a crucial competency to filter the digital information flow while maintaining the authenticity of Islamic teachings. Dakwahethics in the digital era require preachers to have integrity, competence, and awareness of virtual communication ethics. Digital PAI pedagogy offers a collaborative, creative, and value-based learning approach while maintaining the essence of Islamic character education.
