This study investigates how digital hedonism operates as a cultural force that shapes the thinking patterns, behaviors, and moral orientations of young people, as well as its implications for moral education within Islamic educational philosophy. The core problem is the weakening of students’ moral character due to the dominance of worldly values spread through digital media, which diminishes the transformative role of moral education. The study aims to formulate a moral education paradigm suited to the challenges of the digital era through a philosophical approach that reaffirms human beings as spiritual entities and stewards on earth. Using a qualitative library-based method with philosophical–hermeneutic analysis, this research explores the link between classical Islamic educational concepts and contemporary digital culture. The findings show that digital hedonism produces false consciousness, pushing individuals to chase self-image, popularity, and instant pleasure, which leads to value disorientation and declining spirituality. These results emphasize the urgency of reconstructing moral education by integrating spiritual purification, character cultivation, and ethical reasoning as a unified framework. The study concludes that moral education must foster value awareness that frees students from the dominance of digital culture and guides them toward spiritual, rational, and moral maturity.
