<![CDATA[This research is motivated by the phenomenon of the existential crisis of modern humans in the digital era, which is now known as homo digitalis. Dependence on digital technology has formed a new lifestyle that often obscures the meaning of human existence, distances from spiritual values, and leads humans to false validation through digital media. In this context, this research aims to analyze Muhammad Iqbal's religious existentialism through the concept of khudi, and examines its relevance to the existence of homo digitalis in the digital era. The research method used is qualitative literature with a philosophical hermeneutic approach by Hans-Gerorg Gadamer, to understand the meaning and depth of Iqbal's thoughts. The results show that Muhammad Iqbal's religious existentialism, which emphasizes self-awareness (khudi), freedom, creativity and spiritual orientation to God, provides a strong philosophical foundation in building an authentic homo digitalis existence. Through khudi, homo digitalis is directed not to merely be present digitally, but is able to uphold a true existence that is conscious, independent, and based on divine values.]]>
