Abstract


Children’s character education plays a crucial role in shaping their personality and moral development, particularly in the context of rapid digital technological advancement. In the digital age, children are increasingly exposed to various influences from cyberspace that may significantly impact their character formation. This article seeks to examine how character education for children can be effectively implemented amid such technological changes by drawing upon Islamic teachings, which emphasize the cultivation of noble character and personal development grounded in religious values. Furthermore, the article explores the challenges encountered in fostering children's character in the digital era and offers solutions based on an Islamic worldview. Through a comprehensive literature review, this study aims to provide practical insights into how Islamic values can be applied to nurture children's moral integrity amidst technological progress. The findings of this library research are intended to serve as a valuable reference for parents, educators, and communities in guiding the younger generation to become morally upright, intellectually capable, and responsible users of technology.
