Abstract

This study examines the impact of contemporary technology on the moral character of adolescents from an Islamic perspective. The development of digital technology, social media, and Western popular culture has created significant challenges in shaping the moral character of the current generation of Muslims. This study employs a literature review method by collecting and analyzing books, journals, and previous research relevant to the topic under discussion. The study’s findings indicate that modern trends influence adolescent morality both positively and negatively. Cyberbullying, the spread of misinformation, the use of profanity, online gaming addiction, hedonism, and a decline in religious awareness are all detrimental effects. Meanwhile, the benefits include faster communication, greater creativity, and quicker access to information. From an Islamic perspective, moral education based on Quranic principles such as tabayyun, qaulan sadida, and qaulan ma’rufa must be strengthened to address this situation. To combat moral decline, families, schools, communities, mosques, the technology sector, and the government must collaborate in a holistic manner. To guide today’s youth, it is concluded that while current trends are not entirely negative, they must be balanced with a solid moral and ethical foundation based on Islamic values.
