The Impact of Digital Items on Islamic Education among Muslim Youths

This study explores the influence of digital items on Islamic education among Muslim youths. It examines how digital tools enhance learning engagement, accessibility, and self-directed study within Islamic contexts. Through qualitative analysis, the research highlights the growing preference for digital platforms as effective supplementary learning tools that promote independent exploration and deeper understanding of Islamic teachings. The findings suggest that digital resources not only modernize Islamic education but also foster a more interactive and accessible learning experience for the younger generation.
