<![CDATA[In the digital era, Muslim women face significant moral challenges in preserving their modesty and dignity. Unlimited online interaction, visual trends, and the pursuit of social validation increasingly threaten the Islamic principle of ‘iffah (chastity and self-restraint). This study examines the exemplary character of Maryam as a Qur'anic model for addressing these contemporary challenges. It employs a qualitative library research approach by analyzing the interpretations of three contemporary Qur'anic exegetes: M. Quraish Shihab in Tafsir al-Misbah, Hamka in Tafsir al-Azhar, and Sayyid Qutb in Fi Zhilal al-Qur'an. The analysis focuses on Qur'anic verses concerning Maryam's purity, namely Q.S. Maryam 19:17–20, Q.S. At-Tahrim 66:12, Q.S. Al-Anbiya' 21:91, and Q.S. Ali 'Imran 3:42. The findings reveal three main dimensions of Maryam's exemplary modesty. First, she demonstrated noble character through devotion and obedience to Allah. Second, she preserved her honor and purity by maintaining appropriate social boundaries and dedicating herself to worship. Third, she sought refuge in Allah as the primary means of safeguarding her chastity. The study also identifies three relevant applications for Muslim women in the digital era: maintaining ethical online interactions and personal purity, protecting modesty in social media self-presentation, and using digital platforms for beneficial and spiritually meaningful purposes. These findings offer a Qur'an-based framework for strengthening the moral and spiritual resilience of Muslim women in the digital age..]]>
