Reconstructing Contemporary Islamic Thought to Address the Moral Crisis of the Digital Generation
Main Article Content
Abstract
The development of digital technology has changed the patterns of social interaction, access to information, and the construction of values among the younger generation. While digitalization opens up opportunities for the development of knowledge and creativity, it also raises various moral problems, such as a decline in communication ethics, increased individualism, the spread of disinformation, and the weakening of the internalization of religious values. This article aims to analyze the relevance of contemporary Islamic thought in responding to the moral crisis of the digital generation through an adaptive approach to technological developments without neglecting Islamic ethical principles. This research uses a descriptive-analytical literature study method, analyzing various literature discussing contemporary Islamic thought, morality, and digital transformation. The results of the study indicate that contemporary Islamic thought offers an integrative paradigm that connects the strengthening of morals, critical digital literacy, religious moderation, and the development of spirituality as the foundation for character formation. Technology is viewed not as a threat to Islamic values, but as a strategic instrument that needs to be guided through ethical awareness and social responsibility. Thus, the moral reconstruction of the digital generation requires a synergy between Islamic character education, strengthening digital literacy, and the internalization of universal human values
