Generation Z university students in Malang Raya are vulnerable to neglecting moral values (akhlak) in their daily behavior due to digital distortion. This quantitative research, employing a survey method, aims to analyze the influence of Spiritual quotient (SQ) and the impact of phubbing behavior on the internalization of Islamic moral education values among Generation Z students in Malang Raya. Involving 202 respondents from four Islamic Higher Education Institutions (PTKI) in Malang Raya, the research data was proven to be normally distributed through the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test with a value of 1.005 (sig. 0.264). The results indicated that the students' SQ levels and internalization of moral values were categorized as fair, with an average score of 76.23. Specifically, SQ exerts a positive influence of 24.2% on moral formation. On the other hand, phubbing behavior shows a negative influence of -0.528, meaning that minimal phubbing behavior contributes positively to strengthening moral values by 52.8%. Through the ANOVA output, a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05 was found. Thus, it can be concluded that the combination of a high spiritual quotient and low phubbing behavior simultaneously has a significant impact on the successful internalization of moral education values among students, thereby fostering positive social interaction patterns.
