The rapid development of information and communication technology in the digital era has brought massive disruptions to all aspects of human life, including the educational paradigm and societal morality. Generation Z, as digital natives who grow up alongside these technological advancements, faces significant vulnerabilities regarding character degradation and moral decadence due to boundless exposure to global information. This research aims to critically analyze the strategic role of Islamic Religious Education in shaping and fortifying the character of Generation Z amidst the complexities of the digital landscape. The method used in this study is a qualitative literature review, which systematically synthesizes and analyzes twenty relevant academic sources. The findings indicate that Islamic Religious Education serves as an irreplaceable moral compass by internalizing the fundamental values of Tawhid and prophetic ethics. Furthermore, the integration of modern digital pedagogy with classical Islamic traditions, accompanied by the teacher's role as a moral exemplar (mu'addib), is crucial for effective character building. In conclusion, a collaborative educational ecosystem involving the family, school, and society is mandatory to ensure the continuous moral resilience of the younger generation in facing future technological disruptions.

This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) research synthesizes findings from five scientific articles that focus on the vital role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in overcoming the crisis and moral decadence among the Young Generation triggered by the minimal internalization of positive values in education, the lack of family roles, and the challenges of the digital era. The results of the synthesis show that overcoming the moral crisis requires a comprehensive approach, including: first, Affective Approach: PAI must transform from a cognitive focus to an Affective Approach based on the core values of the Qur'an (Ihsan, Rahmah, Tawadhu', Sabr, Amanah) to touch students' spirituality; second, Social Integration: PAI must be integrated with social reality to foster social piety through community-based programs (mosques) that ground Islamic values contextually; and third, Digital Adaptation: PAI teachers play a strategic role as moral role models and are required to adapt to the digital era through strategies for utilizing interactive technology and forming positive digital communities to overcome the influence of negative social media content. Overall, PAI is a central pillar whose effectiveness depends on strong collaboration between educational environments and the ability of teachers to be technologically literate spiritual-affective guides.
